[Mutually unaware of each other’s rebirths + face-slapping the scum + laid-back researcher + devoted military officer + utterly sweet romance]
A spoiled heiress turned research powerhouse VS a cold-faced loyalist turned fiercely protective husband!
In her past life, He Qingyi was beautiful but useless, hopelessly lovesick and blinded by a scumbag. She drove away her loyal childhood friend Lou Minglang for the man, only to die a tragic death and be buried in a ghost marriage. The only person who gave her a dignified end and took her away was the man she had personally abandoned.
She opens her eyes reborn in 1982. The scumbag hasn’t made his move yet, and the cold-faced, loyal Lou Minglang is right there in front of her!
He Qingyi is overjoyed: This time, she’ll stay away from scumbags, cling to her strong ally, act cute and beg him to support her, then lie flat and live like a lazy fish!
But...
“You’re not allowed to sleep until you’ve finished studying.” Lou Minglang drops a stack of review materials in front of her, his gaze icy.
He Qingyi: “???”
She slacks off, he makes her do extra drills. She complains she’s tired, and he pulls out an even thicker workbook!
Crying as she studies, the distraught He Qingyi quietly gets her revenge on the scum. “Lou Minglang! I just want to be a lazy fish...” Lou Minglang: “You’re a lazy fish who can scheme to tear your enemies apart? Study!”
Much later...
She casually solves a national-level problem and becomes a prized researcher at the weapons institute.
Lou Minglang frets: “She’s so innocent and silly. How will she manage without me?”
Everyone looks at the imposing Chief Engineer Lin: “???” Commander, are you sure you know what “silly” means?
Later still... At a state commendation banquet, He Qingyi dangles tipsily from the man’s shoulder. “Lou Minglang, I’m done studying. I’ll never study again...” Lou Minglang expertly wipes the grease from the corner of her mouth, helpless yet indulgent. “All right, whatever you say.”
