Journey to the West: My Brother Is the Great Sage Equal to Heaven

The upcoming fluffy rom-com Nezha, Prince of Heaven, Has Done Nothing Wrong is now available for pre-release bookmarking! Blurb Qi Zhi is an emotionally unstable college student. She’d just posted a rant online about turning into a monkey when a flash of white light suddenly appeared before her eyes. And she really did turn into a monkey. The little monkey was round-headed and round-bodied, like a peanut. A pair of pointed ears hid beneath her pale fur, and her bright eyes against her creamy white face made her look exceptionally polite. What’s the first thing you want to do after landing in Journey to the West? Of course, go pick bananas with the Handsome Monkey King, Sun Wukong! Qi Zhi and Wukong become brother and sister, study under a master at Three Star Cave, make waves in Heaven, and slay demons on their journey to fetch the scriptures, conquering the Three Realms with their fluffiness. Guanyin Bodhisattva laughs and scolds them: “Those two monkeys are incorrigible!” * A short scene The four pilgrims are asked: If you had a younger sister, who would you introduce her to? After giving it a long thought, Bajie and the others all say they’d introduce her to the Little White Dragon. He’s handsome and comes from a good family. Only Wukong hesitates, unable to speak. Because he really does have a younger sister! * The complete story costs 2.85 yuan. Thanks for supporting the official edition! Please leave a rating! Reader’s guide: 1. The heroine is born into the story as Wuzhiqi. Wuzhiqi is a water monster from Chinese mythology, sometimes described as a water god. In Yuan dynasty zaju plays, Wuzhiqi is female and the sworn younger sister of Sun Wukong. The pairing is a mischievous little monkey x a kind, devoted Little White Dragon. 2. The story adapts figures from mythology and history. Besides Journey to the West, it also draws on Investiture of the Gods, Dream of the Red Chamber, and Legend of the White Snake. This is just my superficial understanding of the original works, and there isn’t much dark content. It’s a cute story, and the heroine is an inept college student who’s a monkey, so she can’t change much of the plot. 3. Be careful about ranting. You might really turn into a monkey. (Blurb saved on 2023.8.18, revised on 2024.5.15) Upcoming story: Nezha, Prince of Heaven, Has Done Nothing Wrong Gu Tu is a jade rabbit formed from the human world’s obsessions, gathered by the Moon Palace. While on a mission in the mortal realm, she’s mistaken for a wild rabbit by Nezha, who takes her home and raises her. He can raise her if he wants, but why abandon her halfway through? By then, the Investiture of the Gods war is nearing its end. The Interception Sect has set up the Myriad Immortals Formation, and the young general Nezha releases her back into the wild. They meet again at the Peach Banquet in Heaven. Gu Tu gazes gloomily at Nezha, the Great Deity of the Three Altars and Seas. Nezha glances back and asks, “Did I do something to offend you?” Without hesitation, Gu Tu replies, “You’re the worst person in the world!” Nezha is silent for a moment, then actually smiles. Furious, Gu Tu finally finds a chance to tie Nezha’s hands together and lock him up in Guanghan Palace, so he can experience what it feels like to be abandoned halfway through being raised. Nezha is pretty well-behaved and doesn’t resist, but he is a bit demanding. Today he wants lotus-root starch dumplings; tomorrow he wants a bath in lotus petals. Gu Tu is kept busy running around for him, but she’s fine with it. After all, he used to take care of her the same way. She carries on with her plan, intending to leave Nezha for good. But just as she turns away, he suddenly winds her sash around his fingers. Nezha wraps an arm around her waist and holds her shoulder, his breath brushing the tufted ears standing stiffly atop her head. “I have six more arms. Why not tie those up too?” Theme: Science education.
