Lin Jiejie fell asleep during class while reading Journey to the West. When she woke up, she found that she had transmigrated into the novel as Zhu Bajie!
A disastrous start!
But this turned out to be a heavily romanticized version of Journey to the West, very different from the original.
Her Monkey Brother was a sickly, enchanting young man in a yellow robe, with long, curly golden hair. He claimed to hate how clingy she was, but whenever she ran into trouble and didn't ask him for help first, the young man in yellow flew into a rage.
Tang Seng was a cool, aloof Buddhist monk in white robes. He cared for her like a loving father, but always had a hidden agenda behind his smiles, and frequently clashed with her eldest senior brother.
Sha Wujing was a refined, smiling young man in green, with a string of skulls and an eerie air about him. He often fussed over her and asked if she was keeping warm, but for some reason, Lin Jiejie was still very afraid of him.
There was also the White Dragon Horse, who rarely spoke in human form, wore a gloomy expression, and seemed to have eight hundred schemes up his sleeve... Lin Jiejie noticed the White Dragon Horse occasionally sneaking glances at her.
Then Lin Jiejie looked at herself...
Uh... she was just an ordinary person... who occasionally sprouted a pig's snout and ears when startled!
Lin Jie: How depressing... But before she could dwell on it, the plot hit her with a shock.
Not only had the beautiful Miss Gao she was supposed to flirt with become a handsome young man, but the White Bone Spirit from the Three Battles with the White Bone Spirit was also a handsome white-boned man. The Jade-Faced Fox Spirit who loved the Bull Demon King, the seven Spider Demons, the Queen of the Women's Country... They had all become men...
But what gave Lin Jiejie an even bigger headache was that the people who were supposed to capture Tang Seng kept grabbing her by mistake!
As the handsome White Bone Spirit's ghostly gaze swept over her, Lin Jie felt very uncomfortable. In a trembling voice, she said, "Um... Great White Bone King... Did you grab the wrong person? I'm not Master, I'm Bajie."
Unexpectedly, the White Bone Spirit affectionately kissed the pig ears she had grown from fright and said with an entranced look, "No mistake, Ajie. You're the only one I want..."
Lin Jiejie: Wait, why is this romanticized Journey to the West so weird!
But she wasn't afraid. Whenever she got into trouble, she'd shout at the top of her lungs, "Senior Brother! Save me!"
The next second, a golden headband came crashing down from the sky, and a clear voice tinged with a chilling edge rang out: "Hmph, you silly fool. I've been looking everywhere for you."
Note: 1. Gender-swapped Journey to the West. Male lead: Wukong. 2. Male supporting characters include Tang Sheng, Wu Jing, Ao Yin, and others... Bajie becomes everyone's darling, leading to a battle for her affection, and so on.
