A Starfleet Tycoon Spoils Her Husband with Machines in the Seventies

Ling Lie, a double-threat big shot from the interstellar era, opens her eyes and finds herself transmigrated into an era novel as the villainess who pines for the male lead and forcibly takes his keepsake.

When she comes across Shen Qinghe, a pampered young master from the capital, she finds him blocking her path in the fields, eyes red-rimmed and threatening to report her for “hooliganism.” Ling Lie gives him a sly smile and pulls him into her arms. “Why are you crying? So I have to marry you. I’ll protect you.”

On their wedding night, they have nothing but the four walls around them, and his frail mother is coughing up blood and needs help. Ling Lie repairs every broken tractor in the village with her bare hands, and her blueprints astonish the county. From then on, she uses interstellar technology to leave her husband spoiled and her era in the dust.

She invents labor-saving farm tools so he won’t have to work so hard, and makes fans to keep him cool in the summer heat. With one technological breakthrough after another, she silences the people who mocked him for “living off his wife,” turning their gossip into envy of the “lucky star” couple.

Until people from the capital arrive to take him back and arrange a marriage for him. Eyes red, Shen Qinghe grips the hem of her clothes. “I’m not going.”

Ling Lie lifts him into her arms in front of everyone and sneers at the visitors. “Who gave you the right to tell my man what to do?”

Later, when Ling Lie stands on the national awards platform, the host asks what the secret to her success is. She looks at the man below, gazing up at her with warmth, and declares to the whole world:

“My stars and seas are all for giving him a better era.”

She used machinery to reshape an era, and he is the one future she can count on across time and space.
