Modern gourmet anchor Li Changan travels back to the mythical Tang Dynasty, encounters the divine fortune teller Yuan Shoucheng, and is involved in the shocking murder case of "The Jinghe Dragon King's Questioning". Only then does he realize that he is in a real world of Journey to the West. By chance, Li Changan accidentally ate the immortal core and gained immortality. He resolutely decided to follow Tang Seng and experience this epic journey.
At the foot of Five Elements Mountain, he became Sun Wukong's only "neighbor" in five hundred years with delicious food and companionship. After Tang Monk unveiled the post and Wukong came out, Li Changan naturally joined the group as a "non-staff member".
He doesn't know magic, but uses negotiation skills and empathy to resolve crises. As the chef and counselor of the team, Li Changan, as a mortal, used his food and wisdom to inject unique human fireworks and modern thinking into this carnage-filled journey to the west.
