Synopsis

Yao Yuan never wanted to become a monster blocking Tang Sanzang on his journey west to obtain the scriptures. But the book spirit of this Journey to the West world dragged him here, and now he has no choice but to play his part.

From the White Bone Demon to the Jade Rabbit Spirit, Yao Yuan is terrified every time he acts. For everyone else, a bad performance might mean losing a job. For him, it means losing his life!

Every time he escapes the Golden Cudgel, Yao Yuan wonders whether he'll be so lucky next time. He can't help remembering the first time the cudgel struck him. It wasn't pain; it felt like his soul had been utterly destroyed.
