Thrown Into Journey to the West: I’m the Curtain-Raising General, and I Won’t Take the Blame

A modern man transmigrates into Journey to the West and becomes a minor celestial official in Heaven: Wu Chen, the future Curtain-Raising General. Knowing that he is destined to break a glazed cup and be banished, he vows not to take the fall and to defy fate.

Just as Sun Wukong wreaks havoc in Heaven and the gods are at a loss, Wu Chen calmly analyzes the situation in the Lingxiao Palace and offers the plan that will settle everything: "Invite Buddha Tathagata." With a single sentence, he saves the day, rising from an unknown nobody to a position of power. The Jade Emperor takes a liking to him and appoints him Demon-Slaying Colonel, entrusting him with great authority.

From then on, at the heart of Heaven’s power struggles, he advances cautiously and uses thunderous methods to bring order to the Three Realms. Before the great calamity of the journey west begins, he paves himself an unstoppable road to the heavens.
