[Transmigration + romance + mind games + devoted to each other alone] Ning Jinghe, a 28-year-old PhD in chemistry, transmigrates to the war-torn Warring States era after a laboratory accident. She wakes to find herself rescued by the iron-fisted general Xie Dongwei.
In this chaotic age, she draws on her astounding chemical knowledge, improving gunpowder, making signal flares, and setting up a logistics system, gradually becoming an indispensable strategist in the army.
She uses flame tests to identify ores, improves firearms with black powder, makes simple bombs from quicklime and grease, and even uses aspirin and penicillin to stop the general’s bleeding in a moment of crisis.
Xie Dongwei goes from doubting her at first to trusting her completely. “Her orders are my military orders.”
As they fight side by side again and again, feelings blossom between them. But court intrigues soon follow. Some covet her “mysterious arts,” while others seek to kill Xie Dongwei.
Facing threats from within and without, Ning Jinghe uses her intelligence and courage to help him put down the rebellion, and they ultimately return victorious.
On a snowy night, Xie Dongwei offers her the land itself as a bride price. Ning Jinghe puts on her wedding dress and becomes the general’s wife.
From test tubes to war drums, she uses chemistry to change the course of war, and wins the general’s love with her sincerity.
This is a transmigration tale where knowledge is power, combining exhilarating triumphs with sweet romance.
