Madness! When the Child Dies, the 1980s Stepmom Rewinds Time

Ye Zhenzhen, a surgeon, transmigrated into a book and became the “wicked stepmother” despised by everyone in a compound in the 1980s.

Her husband was cold, her in-laws disliked her, and the neighbors judged her. She also had a frail, sickly stepson, Xiaobao, who was fated to die young.

Ye Zhenzhen had hoped for a quiet life, but Xiaobao kept dying in a string of bizarre accidents: illness, car crashes, sudden seizures, poisoning...

Every time Xiaobao stopped breathing, time reset to the moment she first arrived at the house.

After enduring the agony of twenty-one deaths, Ye Zhenzhen finally discovered in her despair that the only way to break the cycle was to uncover the real culprit hidden in the shadows of the era and expose the cause of Xiaobao’s death.

Yet Lu Chen, the “black-market profiteer” whose name struck fear into the whole town, waited at the mouth of an alley by the black market every night in each new loop, handing her the life-saving medicine she needed.

“It’s the twenty-second time, Zhenzhen. How are you going to save him this time?”

She had never been the only one trapped in the prison of time.
