One day while playing with her monkey friends, one of them found a waterfall and announced that whoever goes and see what's behind the waterfall will be crowned ruler of Flower Fruit Mountain. When all of the other monkeys refused to do it, one of them decided to go and see what's behind the waterfall and found that there is a cave that was abandoned years ago. she told the other monkeys that there is a cave and they went into the cave and when they started messing around, she told them that she found the cave and that makes her queen.

Many years later, the monkey queen decided that she wants the perfect life to last forever after one of the older monkeys die so she decided to on a journey for inmortality and met Master Bodhi, who took her as his student and named her Natsumi. After she has been training for 20 years, Natsumi showed Bodhi's other students what she had learned from him, which caused Bodhi to kick her out.

When she is returning to Flower Fruit Mountain, one of the monkeys named Takashi told her that while she was gone, the monster of chaos has been kidnapping monkeys to use as slaves. Natsumi asked Takashi where they are and he told her that they were taken to the north so Natsumi float to the cave and she fought the monster and his guards and rescued all of the kidnapped monkeys.

One morning, Natsumi decided to train the monkey population so they can defend themselves but since she can't use any of the weapons she gave them, Natsumi decided to go to the Dragon king to get a weapon. After she dismissed every single weapon they had, Natsumi came across an iron pillar and asked is she could have it. The Dragon king refused but his wife told him to let her have it just so Natsumi could leave.

The other monkeys were so amazed by her weapon that they held a feast until midnight but when Natsumi was sleeping one night, two spirits grabbed her and took her to the Land of Darkness. Natsumi did not like this as she is meant to live forever so she beats up the spirits and went to the Palace of Darkness and met Yama to lodge a complaint, after he showed Natsumi the book of death with a page that has her name on it, Natsumi removed her name along with every monkeys she could find.

Meanwhile in the Kingdom in Heaven, the Jade Emperor was getting so many complaints about Natsumi that he considered having her arrested but the Spirit of Venus suggested that they should give her a position to better control her. After agreeing, the Jade Emperor sent the Gold Star of Venus to tell Natsumi that she is going to have a position as a Pimawen.

Natsumi was happy about her position until she was told that Pimawen is the lowest rank in the Kingdom of Heaven which cause her to leave back to Flower Fruit Mountain and call herself the Great Sage Equal to Heaven. The Jade Emperor was told about Natsumi's tantrum and sent celestial soldiers to capture her, including Princess Nata. When they couldn't capture her, the Jade Emperor wanted her to be executed but the Gold Star of Venus asked him to give her en empty title and allow her to live in Heaven and not cause trouble.

Meanwhile, one of the residents told the Jade Emperor that Natsumi would eventually get bored and start wrecking Heaven for entertainment so the Jade Emperor signed Natsumi to guard the peaches of immortality. Natsumi was happy for that but eventually started eating all of the peaches of immortality when no one was looking.

The Grand Peach Festival has started but when the maidens went to collect the peaches, they were all gone. Natsumi, who woke up after hearing about the festival, cast a sleeping spell on the maidens, impersonated an immortal who was invited and went to the banquet hall where she found the wine of immortality and proceeds to drink all of it. After finishing it, Natsumi went to Lazuno's place to sleep it of where she found Lazuno's pills of immortality and eats them all.

Natsumi, after eating all of the pills, realized her mistake and flees back to Flower Fruit Mountain. Meanwhile, everyone in Heaven complained about Natsumi to the Jade Emperor so he decided to sent an entire army to arrest Natsumi but when they try to capture her. Natsumi proceeds to defeat them all. Meanwhile, Kuantan and her disciple Moksa went to Heaven for the peach festival only to see everybody in complete disarry. When the Jade Emperor told Kuantan what happened. Kuantan sends Moksa to Natsumi (who already finished off the entire Heaven army) and when they started fighting, Moksa has to return to Heaven in defeat since she couldn't keep up with her.

The Jade Emperor, out of options, decided to send his nephew Erlang to go and capture Natsumi so Erlang and Natsumi start becoming bigger but when Natsumi accidentally scared her own army, she turns into a bird and flies away from Erlang, who responds by turning into an eagle to chase her. Their shapeshifting chase went of for 85 minutes until Lazuno throws an iron ring onto Natsumi, knocking her out.

Natsumi, captured at last, was to an execution block in Heaven but since she is immortal, nothing harmed her in any way so Lazuno requested that they should put Natsuni into his magic braiser of eight trigrams for 49 days to get the elixir of immortality from her body (and leave her dead). 49 days later, Lazuno opened the pot only for Natsumi to jump out of it (as well as getting red eyes from being in the magic braiser of eight trigrams for 49 days) and start thrashing her way through Heaven. The Jade Emperor, completely scared, decided to call Buddha and his disciples Ananda and Kasyapa to get Natsumi.

Buddha told Natsumi to go back to Flower Fruit Mountain and behave herself but Natsumi said that she won't stop until she gets to rule heaven sh Buddha beted that if Natsumi could escape the palm of his hand, the Jade Emperor will live with him in the Western Paradise and she can rule Heaven. Natsumi, agreeing with that bet, jumped out of his hand and found 5 pillars supporting the sky. Natsumi, thinking she won the bet, decided to go back to Buddha but not before leaving a message to prove she was here.

Natsumi went back to Buddha to rule Heaven but he revealed that Natsumi never left his hand. Natsumi refused to believe that until she found out that the 5 pillars were Buddha's fingers. Natsumi tried to get away form Buddha but before she could, he slammed his palm on her into the ground and trapped her by turning his hand into a mountain, sealed her with a note to make sure she doesn't try to escape and Natsumi was left sealed in the mountain for 500 years.
