She died horribly in a rules-based horror scenario in her previous life, and now she's been buried alive from the start?
Lin Zhao never imagined her third life would begin in hell mode:
She has just crawled out of a grave when she runs into a thunder-faced, golden-furred... monkey?
He's carrying an iron staff, his eyes full of disdain, as if she's garbage.
"Tsk. What a good-for-nothing, with such ridiculous talent."
But her tears spill over at once, and she sobs breathlessly:
"The Great Sage... Equal to Heaven... Sun Wukong!!"
He is a wisp of Buddhist nature on Spirit Mountain in the Western Heaven, unwilling to fade into silence, and an arrogant fragment of the Victorious Fighting Buddha, severed and cast down to the mortal world. Beneath his solemn, radiant appearance, he is still the Great Sage Equal to Heaven who once shattered the highest halls of heaven.
Lin Zhao says she wants to go with him. The Great Sage grumbles that she's a nuisance, but turns back and blows life into a single saving hair.
Demons run rampant, and monsters lurk among humanity.
He strides ahead with his staff, while she follows behind, leaning on her cane and stumbling.
"Great Sage, wait for me!" "If you fall, get up yourself!"
And yet, whenever she's on the verge of death, a golden figure always appears between her and danger.
"In this world, I believe in neither gods nor Buddhas. I believe only in me, Old Sun."
"Stay close. Don't die."
For one hundred and seventy-six years, they travel through wind and rain together. A mortal girl, with nothing but her flesh and blood, accompanies him across the land, slaying demons and cleansing the world.
Until one day, she looks up and asks with a smile, "Great Sage, will you forget me?"
He is silent for a long time, and even his indestructible heart feels a faint ache.
"...Shut up. Keep walking."
✨"A long journey undertaken together by a mortal and a god."
✨"A romantic epic in which the final ray of light from the age of mythology illuminates the lives of ordinary people."

It's bland and warm, a bit sharp, but very nice.
