[Goddess of scientific research + marriage first, love later + play the pig to eat the tiger + mutual healing + one-on-one romance]
[A science-minded woman devoted to research VS an artistic young man who loves literature | A radiant, stunning heroine VS a restrained, scheming, frail hero reminiscent of Lin Daiyu]
Reborn in the 1970s, military-industry prodigy Lin Chaoyang becomes the “oddball” of a construction corps in the Northwest.
While everyone else keeps their heads down and works hard, she openly holds a “martial arts tournament to choose a husband” and brings home Gu Zhixing, a frail beauty who can barely lift a thing.
The whole corps is in an uproar: “Engineer Lin has lost her mind! What good is a burden like him?”
Lin Chaoyang smiles. What good is he?
She conducts research, while he hands her the blueprints and predicts exactly what she needs.
When she faces obstacles, he coughs lightly, and her opponents lose their nerve.
When she shows her brilliance, he quietly paves the way and clears every obstacle.
When Lin Chaoyang’s project astonishes the nation and she is showered with honors, everyone waits to see how she will dump her “pretty ornament.”
At the celebratory banquet, however, she pins her medal on Gu Zhixing in front of everyone and says, her eyes shining:
“Let me introduce my husband, the ultimate secret weapon behind every one of my achievements.”
Only then do they realize that the sickly man they once knew has somehow risen to his feet, his gaze sharp as a blade, with not a trace of weakness left.
He really kept his cards close to his chest.
