The 1970s Crazy-Novel Craze: I'm Going Crazy in a Period Novel

[Madness System + Feel-Good Period Drama + Taming the Husband + Getting Rid of the Worst of the Worst] No guilt, no overthinking, just have fun!

Lin Wan transmigrates into a period novel and becomes the whole family’s punching bag. Her eldest brother is getting married, so she has to give up her job; her second sister is being sent to the countryside, so Lin Wan has to take her place; and when the family eats steamed egg custard, she doesn’t even get to lick the bowl.

As she watches her younger brother snatch the last half of a steamed bun from the table while the whole family enjoys themselves, a “ding” rings in Lin Wan’s mind:

[Host’s resentment levels are off the charts. Binding conditions met. The ‘Madness Literature System’ is now active!]

[The System’s motto: Give up on manners, enjoy being shameless, refuse to take it out on yourself, and take it out on others instead. Madness points can be exchanged for supplies, skills, and even the power to rewrite the plot!]

“Listen up, all of you! Starting today, I’m not here to fit into this family. I’m here to set it straight! You want to suck me dry? Well, I’m done serving you! When I lose it, I’ll even hit myself. Who do you think you are?!”

At the village denunciation meeting, the original heroine is pouring out her grievances with heartfelt emotion. Lin Wan charges onto the stage and snatches the microphone. “Think you’ve got it tough? Think of the 25,000-li Long March! Think you’re tired? Think of the revolutionary pioneers! But pick on me? Not a chance!!”

When faced with the male lead, she lays into him without hesitation: “What are you staring at? Never seen a fairy land face-first before? If you like me, just say so. I’m not responsible if you bottle it up until you hurt yourself.”
