She Starts with a Kitchen Knife in Journey to the West

Reincarnated as a black bear demon in the legendary Journey to the West, Jin Xiongxiong has one goal: live free and cook great food. But fate has other plans. Cast as the villain who stole Tang Monk's kasaya, she's stuck in a script where Sun Wukong won't stop breaking down her door—no matter how many times she insists she's innocent. When she rejects Guanyin's recruitment offer, the heavens brand her a lost cause. Armed with culinary skills, loyal demon allies, and zero patience for celestial politics, Jin refuses to play the lapdog. Too bad the universe won't take no for an answer.
