1. Lu Yiman's ancestors made their living performing with monkeys. Before she was old enough to understand much, she had already become a peerless monkey trainer. After an accident, she transmigrates into the Water Curtain Cave from the original Journey to the West. Drawing on her professional instincts, she captures a monkey and sneaks it down the mountain, hoping to make a living performing with it!
2. A few months later, the monkey develops great intelligence and begs her, "Please let me go! I want to become a disciple and learn the Way. I want to learn how to live forever! Once I master it, I'll come back and repay you!" Lu Yiman says, "Why go to all that trouble? I want to go too. Take me with you!"
3. Patriarch Bodhi teaches Lu Yiman monkey-training tricks, but not the art of transformation. Later, she sneaks off to the Kingdom of Wuxian, learns sorcery, then wreaks havoc there, turning the kingdom's ten great sorcerers into monkeys and putting them on display. The ten sorcerers all kneel and beg for mercy: "Stop playing with us, please!"
After that, she joins Sun Wukong in wreaking havoc in Heaven. Sun Wukong is pinned beneath Five Elements Mountain, while she is sealed inside Guanyin's jade vase. Who knew that the vase contained a whole world of its own? She awakens the invincible Turtle Immortal sleeping inside it, escapes with him, and rescues Sun Wukong. From then on, she rides a turtle in the Western Heaven, amusing herself by tormenting the immortals...
By sheer chance, she falls in love with Yan Yiao, a handsome monk even more dashing than Tang Sanzang. For the monk's future, she joins forces with the invincible Turtle Immortal and Sun Wukong to wreak havoc in the Great Hall of the Great Hero at the Leiyin Temple and at Mount Putuo of the South Sea, forcing the Buddha and Guanyin to agree to let the handsome monk take Tang Sanzang's place on the Journey to the West...
