A homebody who has read Journey to the West countless times transmigrates by accident, only to find himself as Sun Wukong, freshly returned from Mount Lingtai Fangcun. Just as he is about to begin his legendary life as the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, he runs into the System that transmigrators are supposed to get.
But this “Loser Comeback System” not only mistakes him for someone else and labels him a “cowardly weakling,” it also deletes his Seventy-Two Transformations, Somersault Cloud, and invulnerable body. The once mighty Handsome Monkey King is reduced to a helpless nobody. Even worse, the System forces him to follow the “Way of Keeping Your Head Down,” forbidding him to leave until he meets its power requirements, or it will erase him on the spot.
With no magic from the start, all he gets are the “useless” martial arts of the cultivation world: the Nine Swords of Dugu, the Muscle-Tendon Changing Classic, and other techniques from the martial-arts world. With the monkeys of Flower-Fruit Mountain looking to him expectantly, and the “fated destiny” of embarking on the Journey to the West ahead, how will this modern-day version of the Great Sage use mortal swordsmanship to defy fate, change his destiny in the world of Journey to the West, and avoid ending up as a pawn of the Western Heaven?
