Transmigrate to Republican China, and Somehow I Still Like You

[Original female lead + playing dumb to outwit others + does not break up the original male and female leads + espionage later on] A seemingly frail, sweet, and obedient actress x a reserved, upright, and gentle male lead Terminally ill, Shen Nianzhi boards a train, hoping to see the beautiful landscapes of her homeland. But after falling asleep, she wakes up to find she has transmigrated to the Republic of China era, apparently into a TV series she once watched. She stands at the beginning of the story, without knowing how it ends. The moment Shen Nianzhi sees Shen Wentao, she knows he is the one for her. She has dreams and clear goals. She wants to save these talented people and keep the country from losing its pillars. Through one crisis after another, she finds love, meets kindred spirits, and makes friends. In the end, they too set out on that thorn-covered path, giving their lives to break through the darkness and bring about a brighter future. The prosperous world they dreamed of will eventually come to pass. (After watching the show, I really liked the second male lead, Shen Wentao, so I wanted to give him a better ending. The setting can be understood as an alternate or parallel world. There are lots of original details, so please be kind if it’s not to your taste.)
