Li Yan transmigrated into the world of Journey to the West, only to discover that he possessed peerless fortune.
To play it safe, he volunteered to work as a menial in the Imperial Stables, keeping three words firmly in mind: lie low, stay cautious, and act carefully.
What he didn't expect was that Sun Wukong could hear his thoughts. Under each other's influence, the monkey learned just how treacherous the world could be.
Taibai Jinxing: Your Majesty, no matter how much I try to persuade him, Sun Wukong refuses to become the Great Sage Equal to Heaven. He says he'd rather be a humble keeper of the imperial horses.
Dragon King of the Eastern Sea: Sun Wukong showed up with a whole group of demon kings to apologize, insisting on returning the Golden Cudgel. He said that if I didn't accept his apology, he'd have the Bull Demon King turn the Dragon Palace upside down.
Jade Emperor: I even clung to the monkey's leg and begged him. I told him I'd give him my throne if he would just wreak havoc in Heaven.
Monkey: No way, no way. I'm going to keep lying low. I won't leave seclusion until I comprehend the Great Dao!
