Summary:

Based on the classic novel *Journey to the West*, the work incorporates modern fantasy elements, telling the story of Tang Sizang, the daughter of the Tang Corporation, and her friend Xiangxiang, who embark on a journey to resolve family conflicts, find their childhood friend Sun Wukong, and rebuild the westward journey team to save the demonized heavenly realm. Five hundred years ago! By accident, Sizang finds herself transported to five hundred years ago, where he encounters Sun Wukong, who is imprisoned under the Five Elements Mountain…

The story revolves around Tang Sizang, Xiangxiang, and Sun Wukong (reincarnated as a fruit stall owner), Zhu Bajie (a playboy), and Sha Wujing (a devoted fiancé), revealing emotional bonds across past and present lives through time-traveling adventures. The work reconstructs the classic story from a female perspective, combining modern settings such as the workplace and school with the mythological system, creating a pink-haired, cute protagonist and several distinctive divine and demonic characters. Currently, 7 volumes have been published, and the story is still being serialized up to chapter 89.
