On their journey to the West to obtain scriptures, Tang Sanzang and his disciples arrived at the Kingdom of Women in Xiliang. The queen fell in love with Tang Sanzang at first sight and wanted to marry him. Zhu Bajie, seeing the beautiful woman, was overcome with greed and volunteered to stay, willing to marry the queen.
