"My Years as a Landlord in the Flaming Mountains" tells the story of an alternative fairy's counterattack in the workplace. Yin Xi, a former civil servant at Guguan, was promoted because he stopped Lao Tzu from writing the Tao Te Ching. However, he was involved in the "production accident" where Sun Wukong caused havoc in the Heavenly Palace, and was relegated to the unlucky land of the Eight Hundred Miles of Flame Mountain.
"Hello everyone, I am Yin Xi, the officer who stopped me at Hangu Pass to ask for the Tao Te Ching. Later, I was promoted. I thought I could have a casual job, but I ended up being assigned to the alchemy factory of Taishang Laojun's Tusita Palace."
"My eldest brother, Master Xuandu, is a popular figure in Laojun's eyes. He attends meetings and inspects with the leaders every day. What about me? I look after the furnace in third shift, and my professional title is 'furnace guard', but he is actually a boiler worker."
"The most frustrating thing is that when Sun Wukong came to the 'labor camp', I happened to be on duty! The stove overturned and I took the blame. The senior brother spoke for me in front of the leaders, so I was transferred from the central agency to the local government - the Eight Hundred Miles of Flame Mountain. My professional title is 'Lord God', but in reality I am 'BBQ stall owner'."
"Five hundred years later, Sun Wukong came. I looked at him and my heart was racing: 'Monkey, monkey, do you know that your kick turned me from a well-established researcher to a ranger in a remote area?'"
"But I still have to serve with a smile: 'Great Sage, please come here, let me introduce you to the overview of the Flaming Mountain Scenic Area...' Alas, life is not easy, the god sighed."
