Being a monster gets you nowhere, and being a big brother ends with your wife and children scattered.
I have to get out. I have to go straight.
That was what Jiang Shan, reborn as the Bull Demon King, thought at first.
But the history of his ancestors repeatedly backing the wrong side, and the reality of the Jade Emperor returning from his tribulation only to be sidelined by Doumu Yuanjun, left him close to tears.
Fortunately, there were still ten thousand years until the Journey to the West began, and his late father had left him a chance to become a disciple of Patriarch Bodhi.
Become Patriarch Bodhi's disciple, cultivate the art of eternal life.
Wait for the right moment, then earn a place among Heaven's immortals.
But the final outcome seemed to diverge somewhat from what Jiang Shan had imagined.
The Jade Emperor actually came to see him in person.
Before long, titles like Heavenly Court's royal son-in-law, its chief minister, the Jade Emperor's greatest supporter in seizing power, and the hope of the Three Realms had inexplicably landed on his shoulders.
PS: A Journey to the West setting mixed with a Classic of Mountains and Seas setting, with no Hongjun or Six Sages. Also known as The Rise of a Powerful Minister in the Heavenly Court, The Son-in-Law of the Three Realms, and Patriarch Bodhi: I Should Never Have Taken That Bull as a Disciple.
