[Complete] A spin-off featuring a villainous character from the original Journey to the West. Male lead, told from his perspective.
Hot-blooded, youthful male lead vs. a feisty, adorable female lead (two clueless kids squabbling as equals)
Abandoned by his band of monkeys, the six-eared monkey spent thousands of years taking human form and cultivating tremendous abilities.
He happily returned to Flower-Fruit Mountain, ready to live the good life with the old monkey who had raised him.
But the old monkey said, "Tang Sanzang and Sun Wukong had a fight, and the group split up. You... go take Sun Wukong's place!"
"Me? Take Sun Wukong's place?!" The six-eared monkey pointed at himself and tried to calm the old monkey down. "Take it easy, sir. Isn't life here on Flower-Fruit Mountain just fine? Why go looking for trouble with him..."
The old monkey smacked him with a tree branch. "Nobody ever thought much of you when you were young, but you turned out to be the most promising of them all. You've cultivated such great abilities. Go do something great!"
My name's Hou Liuliu, but everyone calls me the six-eared monkey.
In the year of purest love,
the girl I loved said to me, "I wish you were Sun Wukong."
A red-eyed, hands-on-hips kind of story: "Look carefully! Who do you think I am?!"
If I become Sun Wukong, then who will become me?
The six-eared monkey found sweet love with the little flower fairy Zimian,
won the approval of his two fathers, one from the monkey world and one from the human world, both of whom are pretty great,
and became drinking buddies with Sun Wukong, the Victorious Fighting Buddha.
Theme: Even the runt gets his day in the sun
Has the heroine lost her memory? Who changed that little bee? The heroine?
