Shen Yanzhi, a modern agricultural researcher, unexpectedly transmigrates into the mortal realm of Journey to the West, where demons and gods roam, and becomes an ordinary villager in the remote village of Luoxia. Here, monsters lurk in the mountains and wilds, immortals and Buddhas occasionally pass through the mortal world, and ordinary people live like ants, never knowing whether they will see another day. He abandons thoughts of fame and fortune and puts down roots in Luoxia Village. Combining modern farming knowledge with traditional agricultural techniques, he works the fields from spring through summer and gathers the harvest in autumn before storing it for winter. He protects the village, raises seedlings, and develops irrigation, safeguarding the local people through the simplest methods of farming. When he encounters the pilgrimage party, mountain spirits and monsters, and wandering immortals and Buddhas, he neither seeks immortal ties nor fears demons. He drives away evil with plant ash, feeds the people with good farmland, and passes down a family tradition of farming and learning. Amid the fields, he comes to understand the great Dao of Heaven and Earth, and in the vast world of Journey to the West, he makes his life a one-of-a-kind mortal paradise filled with the warmth of everyday life.
