Blurb at the very bottom ↓↓↓

Mi Shuangfeng opened her eyes to find she had transmigrated into Journey to the West, becoming a Golden-Nosed White-Haired Rat Spirit who had stolen and eaten Tathagata Buddha's lotus candle.

Just an ordinary little monster, she started living a determined life of eating and drinking, getting into minor fights, and collecting a bestiary of monsters from all over, all so she could survive in the world of Journey to the West.

Her hard work at cultivation spurred the great monsters of Spirit Mountain into a cutthroat race to outdo one another. Through a series of mishaps, she also became the manager of the Journey to the West pilgrimage project.

But she never expected one problem after another to come her way:

The White Dragon Horse galloped ahead, its bell jingling urgently. Behind it, Tang Sanzang chased after it with his monk's staff, while the three disciples ran with the luggage. One day, Tang Sanzang was captured by monsters again.

Sun Wukong: "Sorry, Old Sun's here to find you again."

Mi Shuangfeng: "...Brother Monkey, let me explain..."

Sun Wukong: "If you don't help Old Sun, Old Sun isn't leaving. I'm not leaving!"

Meanwhile:

The Antarctic Immortal Elder's white deer: "Hmph, you again!"

Taishang Laojun's Azure Bull: "So which is more powerful, my Vajra Bracelet or Huangmei's Human Seed Bag?"

Silver Horn King: "What? This gourd doesn't just have male and female versions, it has six genders?"

Watching the main plot of Journey to the West go completely off the rails, Mi Shuangfeng quietly packed her bags, ready to run away with a dragon from the Western Sea...

The love interest is the eldest prince of the Western Sea Dragon Kings.

The heroine seems vicious on the surface, but is really just forced into a cutthroat race to survive.

VS

The hero seems righteous on the surface, but is actually ruthless and fiercely loyal only to the heroine.

Blurb for the new story:

Blurb One:

Yang Jian's life went smoothly from birth through his youth. He was carefree and spirited, but then disaster struck: his father and elder brother were murdered, his mother was captured, and his younger sister disappeared.

In a flash, an unknown and mysterious path appeared before him. He resolutely stepped onto that road of no return and forged a splendid, broad highway of his own.

His fate was to defy convention, but who could have guessed that he would meet her?

Blurb Two:

Ever since Jin Xueliu arrived in another world, she'd thought its scenery was lovely and its mountains and rivers magnificent. She couldn't take her eyes off them.

Thinking she'd been handed a farming-story plot in a matrilineal society, she threw herself into agriculture and did her best to be a great shaman for her tribe. Day after day, life was busy and fulfilling, until the arrival of an outsider shattered the place's isolation from the world.

The river god lurking beneath the water wants to punish her?

Fine, but don't get in the way of her infrastructure projects.

The Dragon God of the Western Sea wants to strike a deal with her?

Fine, but she'd better get a generous share of the profits.

The Celestial Court high above the clouds prophesies that she is the God of Calamity?

Fine, but a God of Calamity is still a god. If they won't give her an official position, she'll just have to make one for herself.

In the end, the Jade Emperor couldn't take it anymore and secretly sought out his nephew. "Yang Jian, I command you to eliminate the evil spirits at once!"

Yang Jian immediately led troops to capture the God of Calamity.

The immortals of the Celestial Court cheered: "Thank goodness, it's True Lord Erlang! We're saved!"

Little did they know that Yang Jian went down to the mortal realm with his blade and started... chopping vegetables.

Pairing: The Celestial Court's God of Calamity, version of pure hatred VS the cool, gentle God of War

Reading guide:

My take on mythology: Heaven is supreme, followed by the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors system, with Nuwa, Fuxi, and Shennong held in the highest regard among them. Only after the decline of the old gods led by Nuwa did Buddhism and Taoism rise.

Since the story draws on mythology, the place names in it do not correspond exactly to real-world locations.

The main references are Lotus Lantern, Journey to the West, Classic of Mountains and Seas, and Buddhist and Taoist mythology.

Theme: Protecting rare animals is everyone's responsibility
