I'm the Mad King in a Brain-Dead Short Drama

Lin Xingmian, a die-hard fan of brainless short dramas, gets transported into her favorite guilty-pleasure entertainment.

The System makes her a judge, picking fights with everyone and helping these NPCs grow a brain.

The fake heiress frames the real one in the most shameless ways, constantly dropping to her knees and stripping. Hearts, livers, and lungs can be swapped out like spare parts, and there are masochists who punish their families with their own deaths, along with all kinds of ridiculous stories about musical geniuses and plagiarists.

These plots are absurd, brainless, and make no sense.

But...

They're all Lin Xingmian's favorites!

She really can't bring herself to mock these short dramas, so:

The girl of his dreams needs a heart and liver transplant? Replace them! Every single one of the 1.3 billion people must donate theirs to our darling, until we find the very best.

The fake heiress fakes a fall to frame someone? Save her! We'll try everything, from CPR to shocks with an AED. It's not our fault if two ribs break during compressions. Anyone who stops me clearly doesn't want to save her.

They demand an apology on your knees? Fine! Buy every LED screen in the city and livestream it across the whole internet. The young lady won't be satisfied until you stab yourself three times and beg forgiveness with thorny branches on your back.

The System blares an ear-piercing alarm: Warning! Plot collapse level: 100%! Character logic values are skyrocketing!

Lin Xingmian: Isn't this great? They finally have brains.

The System: But you forced them to become normal people!

Coming soon: When Myths and Legends Become Rule-Based Horror

The world of strange tales descends, and myths and legends from across the land are seized by "It" and turned into rule-based horror scenarios.

Lu Jiu is forced to enter as a player trying to clear them, where he discovers secrets hidden within the legends.

Rule-Based Horror: Splitting the Mountain to Save the Mother

1. Your mother is the Third Holy Mother, and can only be the Third Holy Mother. Remember this.

2. Mount Hua cannot be split by any mortal, but that will not weaken your resolve to split the mountain and save your mother.

3. If you see someone who looks just like you, it's only a hallucination brought on by hard training. Close your eyes and rest.

4. The screams from Mount Hua come from the wicked people who want to harm the Third Holy Mother. You only think the voices sound familiar because people's voices are often alike.

5. Only the purest soul, the most sincere love, and the hottest blood can open the road to Heaven for you.

6. The Third Holy Mother is the kindest and most innocent immortal in the world. She will always love her children dearly.

Why is there an "s" on "children"? Sorry, the rules don't come with explanations.

Other rule-based horror scenarios include Splitting the Mountain to Save the Mother, Chang'e Flying to the Moon, Jingwei Filling the Sea, and the White Snake Repaying a Kindness.

Familiar characters, but legends that unfold in entirely different ways.
