## History

Madman Chu comes from the Chu family. The Chu family had been imperial officials for five generations but by the time of the generation from Madman Chu's grandfather, they had fallen to a fiancial crisis. Lord Chu had failed the exams to become an imperial official leading him to be depressed. Madman Chu was smart and could do caligraphy and reading at a glance and his father had high hopes for him to become an imperial official that will get the family out of their fiancial state. However, Madman Chu never had any interests in becoming one, even when his father sent him to school, he would skip the exams and continue to write stories as well as tell them to scare kids. Eventually his father got sick of him skipping the exams so he burned all his manuscripts. In the end Madman Chu ran away from home.

When Madman Chu arrived at the capital, he stayed at Yunlai Inn since the owner, Yun Zhi agreed to let him stay in exchange for him working as a storyteller. After telling another story, the owner of the Taipu bookstore-Chen Kang comes up to him and offers him to have his stories be published by Taipu bookstore. Madman Chu agrees and informs him he will notify him once he's done writing his book "Eccentric Tales". After several days pass, Madman Chu soon finishes his book after working tirelessly on it. When he hands the manuscript to Chen Kang, the owner asks him what name he'll sign the book off and suggests he uses his real name. He decides to use Madman Chu as he is a madman of Chu and the wind sings and laughs at Confucious.

After publishing his book, it becomes a best seller and Madman Chu becomes a new best selling novelist. After moving out from Yunlai Inn and getting his own house, his editor Wei Ran suggested they publish the sequel to mantain the popularity of the book but Madman Chu refuses as he wants to write good stories and not rushed or retold tales. Madman Chu went through several editors until he finally settled with a man named Fu Ren who became his editor because he actually liked "Eccentric Tales" and didn't treat it as a best-selling commodity.

## Fu Ren

He is Madman Chu's editor. The two often argue due to Madman Chu's late drafts but they get along quite well. On Madman Chu's birthday, Fu Ren prepared dishes from a Jiangzhou restuarant for him. Madman Chu was only interested in the dish of white sugar cakes but complained that they didn't taste sweet at all. In the end, Madman Chu ended up drunk and began to talk about Jiangzhou and his family especially regarding his father on how he was disgrace to the family. Fu Ren sent "Eccentric Tales" to Jiangzhou making Madman Chu angry that he did that. Fu Ren explained to him that he sent it to send a message that even if Madman Chu doesn't get any fame, he is not a disgrace to his family. Fu Ren told Madman Chu that his father didn't say anything but his mother took the book and sent a bag of white sugar cakes. Madman Chu eats the cake and tells Fu Ren he should try it since it's the most authenitic Jiangzhou white sugar cake.
