Acting Crazy and Playing Cute, the Research Genius Tempts the Girl Who Transmigrated into a Book

[1970s + comedy + face-slapping + sweet romance, one-on-one]

Irreverent heroine ✖️ aloof, devoted husband-protecting hero

Minor pairing: adorable, innocent System ✖️ gloomy, scheming head System

To cure her illness, Ye Jiangli binds herself to a home-wrecker System and travels to the 1970s to save the unfortunate male lead and his family.

She transmigrates into the original novel as the wicked foil character, the male lead’s promiscuous ex-wife: greedy, vicious, and unfaithful!

The male lead’s whole family meets a tragic end!

The eldest brother’s family is torn apart, the third brother is beaten to death, and the fourth brother marries an older man with a child, then works herself to death. Their parents die of depression, too!

The male lead has a woman he secretly loves, and is arrested for leaking classified research.

The original heroine abandons the Jiang family and marries into a wealthy family in the capital.

She lands in the story on her wedding night and forces herself on her husband. When she wakes up, she realizes he isn’t a male model, he’s the male lead!

The aloof male lead has broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and long legs. He hands over all his savings, protects his wife like a man possessed, works hard, and cooks well. She’ll reluctantly keep him!

His younger siblings dislike her. The male lead snaps, “Shut up! She’s my wife!”

Her mother-in-law and sister-in-law may have sharp tongues but kind hearts, and her secret weapon for winning them over is instantly deployed: acting cute!

After struggling out of bed with an aching back, she hears the whole compound spreading rumors that she’s a lazy wife and a vixen!

Who could have guessed that after her corner shop opens, the gossipmongers would turn into a bunch of sweethearts?

As the rumors spread around the compound, the story changes tone:

“Have you heard? That vixen caught a spy!”

“She caught a human trafficker, too, and she’s busy helping them find their family!”

Some time later, the news breaks: “She actually joined the Ministry of State Security!”

With her knack for attracting enemies, Ye Jiangli can only sharpen her blade and take them down one by one!

After finishing the mission, she faces a man with reddened eyes and a baby just as aggrieved as he is. She hesitates…

The original heroine only drives the plot forward; the focus is on the romance and cozy everyday life!
