The Eighties Compound: That Couple Are Both Such Jerks

(Period setting + research genius + one-on-one romance)

Research genius Luo Shiyi spent 17 years throwing her weight around in the 21st century. After doing too many terrible things, she died suddenly and transmigrated into a book set in the 1980s, where she became a silly girl who had been abandoned by her own mother, had her identity stolen by the heroine's cousin, and was bullied by the entire village...

From the start, everything was a disaster. She lived in a thatched hut and ate cornmeal buns, never knowing whether there would be food for the next meal.

The more Luo Shiyi thought about it, the angrier she got. Putting up with it would give her breast hyperplasia; backing down would have her spitting blood and hanging herself.

So she chose to make money and support her family by going crazy, while improving the village's conditions with a stream of curses.

When the poorest village got electricity thanks to Luo Shiyi's biogas system, when the villagers used the wheat thresher she built from table and chair parts and a junked motorcycle engine she talked someone into giving her, and when she mercilessly tore into her scheming cousin and wicked mother, investigators arrived to look into a dangerous threat to society. The villagers she'd helped and the Academy of Sciences researchers astonished by her ingenious ideas all spoke up: “What dangerous threat? She's a good person, a truly good person. We can all vouch for her!”

The bigwigs at the Academy of Sciences: “No! We have to recruit her directly!”

Luo Shiyi: “Thanks for the offer, but I only have a high school diploma.”

The most outrageous, sharp-tongued, and shameless officer in the army, Tao Siyan, met her for the first time while she was “sending off a bride.” He was forced to go along with it.

The second time he saw his wife, she was modifying all kinds of equipment... and he was forced to accept hush money.

Later, wherever his wife went, chaos followed. She teased people, led cats around, climbed walls, and tore off rooftops. Tao Siyan sighed. “What can I do? Spoil her, of course.”
