Synopsis

After several hard-fought battles, the Western Zhou army finally took the Five Passes, only to be stopped before the small county town of Mianchi. The defenders, Zhang Kui and his wife, slew several renowned generals, including Huang Feihu, the Martial Completion King, leaving the Zhou camp badly weakened. Yang Jian, returning to camp with provisions, was once again struck by terrible news. In his distress, he could not help taking his anger out on someone else... This story is inspired by the original works Investiture of the Gods and Journey to the West. I had hoped to write it as a full-length novel, but I don't think I can manage that anytime soon, so this is really just a fragment. Some parts may feel abrupt, but I'll gradually fill them in and complete the whole story in the future. I'm especially fond of this pairing. The characters are drawn from the original works and many adaptations and derivative works, including television, traditional performing arts, and comics, though overall the story leans toward the traditional versions. I've also given many supporting characters new interpretations from my own perspective, though most of them have little to do with the pairing. As long as you don't mind the main characters, dear readers, you shouldn't hit any land mines, haha. Theme:
