1: Lu Yiman transmigrates into the Water Curtain Cave from the original Journey to the West. Following her professional instincts, she catches the monkey and secretly takes him down the mountain, hoping to make a living by training monkeys!
2: A few months later, the monkey gains great spiritual insight and begs her to let him go. "Please, let me go! I want to find a master and learn the Way. I want to master a method of immortality! Once I've learned it, I'll come back and repay your kindness!" Lu Yiman says, "Why go to all that trouble? I want to go too. Take me with you!"
3: Patriarch Bodhi teaches Lu Yiman how to train monkeys, but refuses to teach her transformation magic. Later, she secretly travels to the Kingdom of Wuxian and learns witchcraft. She then wreaks havoc in the kingdom, turning its Ten Great Sorcerers into monkeys and putting them through their paces. The ten sorcerers fall to their knees and beg for mercy: "Please, stop playing with us!"
After that, she joins Sun Wukong in wreaking havoc in Heaven. Sun Wukong is imprisoned beneath Five Finger Mountain, while she is sealed inside Guanyin's Jade Vase. Who could have guessed that the vase contained a world of its own? She awakens the Invincible Tortoise Immortal sleeping inside, escapes with him, and rescues Sun Wukong. From then on, she rides the tortoise in the Western Heaven, training monkeys and tormenting the gods for fun.
By a strange twist of fate, she falls in love with Yan Yiao, a handsome monk even more dashing than Tang Sanzang. To secure the monk's future, she joins forces with the Invincible Tortoise Immortal and Sun Wukong to storm the Great Hall of the Thunder Monastery and 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...
