You Can Have the Return-to-the-City Quota. I’ll Marry a Top Scientist Instead

Lin Wanwan, a PhD in engineering, transmigrates into the body of a sent-down youth.

Her pretty face becomes a target for others’ spite.

Desperate, Lin Wanwan turns to the taciturn man, Shen Ke.

Everyone in the village avoids him, but Lin Wanwan knows he will become a physicist who shocks the world.

With her bedding in hand, she knocks on the cowshed door on a stormy night. “Shen Ke, let’s get married. I’ll protect you, and you’ll help me with scientific research.”

Looking at the delicate young woman before him, Shen Ke thinks she’s mocking him.

After they marry, everyone laughs at her. “A perfectly good sent-down youth marries a peasant? Her life is over!”

But then…

Lin Wanwan produces a blueprint, and Shen Ke repairs every tractor in the county.

Lin Wanwan proposes a formula, and Shen Ke solves a problem that has stumped everyone for ages.

A few years later, a line of jeeps drives into the village to bring the couple back to the capital.

When her ex-boyfriend sees the woman being welcomed on the news, he regrets it so much his guts turn green.
