What's Wrong with Brainwashing the Whole World into Loving Sappy Husbands?

[No romance + strong female lead + ensemble cast focus + wish fulfillment]

[Female-centered language: characters are female by default unless specified otherwise; no derogatory terms for women]

Jiang Zhi dies suddenly and binds herself to the “Troublemaker Who Lives a Thousand Years” System, which lets her use skills to deceive and sway the masses.

System: Please choose your identity.

A shameless woman, a concubine who brings ruin to the nation, a ruthless empress, a dowager who sells out her country for personal gain...

Jiang Zhi: What are these terrible roles? I want to be a writer.

She’ll use cutesy-husband fiction to brainwash everyone. Men have enjoyed the good life for long enough. Now it’s their turn to let women have a good life.

System: Understood, mastermind.

And so, men began to embrace the ideals of being fair, delicate, and slender, and of becoming sweet, devoted husbands.

The male villagers fear getting a tan and learn to weave and keep house.

The male constables think muscles look ugly and stop working out.

The male shopkeepers decide it’s improper to show their faces in public.

The male scholars all preach that a man’s lack of talent is a virtue.

The young male nobles fear getting out of shape, eat only light porridge and vegetables, and dream of meeting their destined partner.

The male generals lay down their armor and return home after conquering territory, washing their hands to cook for their beloved women.

The male chancellors share their schemes with the people they love, happy to be the man behind a woman.

The royal princes give up competing for the throne, content to marry into other families and help their sisters quell rebellions.

The emperor even elopes with a wandering swordswoman, seeking the freedom of no longer being emperor.

Watching the men brainwashed by cutesy-husband fiction, Jiang Zhi smiles.

Feeling the gratitude and energy pouring in from countless people, the System finally understands: this isn’t troublemaking at all. It’s a blessing!
