Gu Mingyue, a genius woman with a doctorate in mechanical engineering, transmigrates into the body of a useless legitimate daughter who is being forced to marry a short-lived prince. He suffers from a heart condition, has a violent temper, and is not expected to live past twenty-five.
On the wedding day, the bridal matron makes trouble, her first love shows up to steal her away, and the scheming prince wants nothing to do with her.
No problem!
Gu Mingyue is a black belt, eighth dan. She beats the matron until she kneels and kowtows, assesses the situation and persuades her obstructive first love to leave, then rigs the bridal chamber with traps to teach the scheming prince a lesson.
She uses modern technology to build mechanisms, make money, and open a shop, all while focusing on getting a divorce.
As part of their deal, she uses modern medical texts to treat the short-lived prince's heart condition. But gradually, she discovers that the scheming prince isn't as detestable as she thought, and his heart condition may not be so simple either...
