Back to the Seventies: I Outwork Everyone at the Institute with My Technical Skills

Mechanical engineer Su Caiwei wakes up to find she has become the notorious, spoiled cannon fodder in a period novel. The original owner, disgusted by her husband Qin Xiaoyang’s injured leg, is throwing a tantrum at the village entrance and demanding to return to the city, making herself a laughingstock in the whole village.

Facing her taciturn, gloomy husband, a penniless household, and scornful stares from every direction, Su Caiwei takes a deep breath.

A ridiculous melodrama? She won’t play along! Stupid domestic scheming? Not interested!

She rolls up her sleeves and focuses on her husband’s injured leg. “This was caused by an infection after the shrapnel wound wasn’t cleaned out properly, wasn’t it?”

The crowd falls silent. Qin Xiaoyang jerks his head up.

From then on, she relies on hard-core expertise instead of helpless rage, improving farm tools, modernizing production, and guiding scientific rehabilitation… With tangible results, she tramples every slight and scheme underfoot.

And when the steely husband who once treated her as if she didn’t exist finally sheds his coldness and becomes her most devoted supporter, his gaze burning with admiration, Su Caiwei merely smiles.

This reckoning is only just getting started.
