Summary:
Tens of thousands of years ago, the Shark Demon King invaded Flower Fruit Mountain and was wiped out by Sun Wukong. In this battle, the Spider Demon who had a crush on Sun Wukong died to save Wukong. The Buddha sealed Wukong’s mana and ordered him to practice in the world wearing a mask. Tens of thousands of years later, the Spider Demon reincarnated and met Wukong to continue their relationship, but was blocked by the Mermaid descendant of the Shark Demon who was wiped out by Wukong.
It turns out that the Mermaid has teamed up with the Six-Eared Macaque who was killed by Wukong during the journey to the west, and launched a mad revenge on Wukong. The Mermaid hides her identity and uses her beauty to seduce Sun Wukong. The Six-Eared Macaque pretends to be Wukong and deceives the Spider Demon. In order to make Wukong bear the debt of love, he can’t be relieved of it. But during the day and night with Wukong, the Mermaid gradually develops feelings for Wukong. And all of this climaxed because of the recklessness of the Mermaid, which led to a thousand-year parting. In the end, under the guidance of Tang Seng, Wukong put down the duel with the Six-Eared Macaque. See you at last.
