His name was Tianpeng. Later, he was called Zhu Bajie.
Her name was Acui. Later, she was called Cuilan.
Five hundred years ago, he was Marshal Tianpeng, commander of eighty thousand celestial sailors. Yet for the sake of a mortal, he willingly fell into the realm of beasts.
Five hundred years later, he was Zhu Bajie. At Gao Village, he saw her again. She had been reincarnated three times, and still clutched half of that steamed bun in her hand.
He wanted to call her by name, but when the words reached his lips, all that came out was a pig's squeal.
This book reveals the greatest secret in Journey to the West:
What really happened when he teased Chang'e?
Why was Gao Cuilan willing to let him keep her locked up for three years?
Why was Sun Wukong so good to him?
What secret was hidden in that moldy steamed bun?
He is not the Zhu Bajie you know.
He is Marshal Tianpeng, the lovesick man who became a pig demon for the sake of one person.
This book is divided into two parts: Marshal Tianpeng: Zhu Bajie's Past and Present, also known as Tianpeng: A Mistake in the Mortal World, and Altar Cleanser Envoy: Zhu Bajie's Years in the Void, also known as Altar Cleanser: The Mortal World Is My Home.
The first part is planned to span eight volumes: Above the Celestial River, Years in the Heavenly Court, Love Blossoms in the Mortal World, Upheaval at the Moon Palace, The Search Across Five Hundred Years, Reunion at Gao Village, Brothers Reunited, and Guanyin's Promise.
