The heroine's name will change later on.
In her previous life, Zhou Pan'ni listened to the slander of her family and best friend, divorced her military officer husband, and married an obese, abusive old man. In the end, she was reduced to living on the streets.
The one who ultimately avenged her was the cold-faced military officer husband she had despised.
Reborn in the 1970s, Zhou Pan'ni gains a System. It teaches her to study and defend herself, and helps her beat up scumbags. She pays back every humiliation from her previous life tenfold.
After getting her revenge, Zhou Pan'ni takes the college entrance exam. Nobody believes in her, but she tops the exams and gets into the best university in the country, leaving the onlookers so furious they can only complain.
At university, Zhou Pan'ni makes rapid progress, and accidentally solves a major national problem ahead of schedule, becoming the youngest academician at the Academy of Sciences.
She also reunites with her military officer husband.
Grateful for the kindness he showed her in her previous life, Zhou Pan'ni gladly joins her husband's research team and helps him solve difficult problems.
During this time, Zhou Pan'ni repeatedly asks her husband when he plans to divorce her, not wanting to hold him back. Then one night, he corners her and says with red-rimmed eyes, “Have I done something wrong? Or is there something about me you don't like? I can change into whatever kind of person you want.”
“I taught you to study and defend yourself. Shouldn't you repay me by marrying me?”
Zhou Pan'ni is stunned. Has the System come to life?
