Jiang Mo, a corporate wage slave, is worked to death by a client known as Buddha, only to transmigrate into Tang Sanzang just as he leaves Chang'an.
Others complete the pilgrimage by fighting monsters. He does it with the laws of the Three Realms and workplace tactics!
General Yin is a temporary contractor for Spirit Mountain? He signs him to a permanent contract on the spot, then turns him against his bosses and takes control!
Can't tell the real Wukong from the fake? Put them on rotating shifts, assess their performance, and bring in an independent evaluator. Rules are rules!
The Six-Eared Macaque impersonates Wukong to steal the credit? He goes straight onto the blacklist of bad-faith debtors and gets exiled to the East Sea to fill it in!
Buddha: I carefully set up the Eighty-One Tribulations to make Tang Sanzang suffer!
Jiang Mo: I've got the entire legal code in hand, and I follow the rules every step of the way. Try finding even one fault!
Guanyin: You don't follow the usual Journey to the West playbook!
Jiang Mo: I only follow workplace rules, and I'm here to break Spirit Mountain's monopoly!
On this journey west, I won't chant sutras or seek Buddha. I'll use the rules of the Three Realms to wreck Buddha's pilgrimage scheme.
