A sweet-looking, pretty woman with a tough-as-nails core VS a coolheaded, brilliant officer with a cold exterior and a reckless, debonair streak in him
Qiao Zi is betrayed by an ambiguously flirtatious male teammate and dies. When she wakes up, she’s on a ceremonial platform. Science or superstition, who cares? A life without zombies is the life for her.
What? Her father has been reported as the leader of a superstition cult and is going to be sent down to the countryside? No way. She’ll go in his place. Her father needs to make money!
“Dad, you have to go to Hong Kong!”
…
“Bro, what’s going on? Why have all Dad’s followers come to our cowshed?”
“Ahem… Miaomiao, Dad gave you the sect leader’s token before he left. You’re the leader now! They came to join you.”
Qiao Zi is dumbfounded. The thing is, she has no idea how to do this.
Wait… why is this cult nothing like the one she imagined?
“You’re a successor to Jingdezhen ceramic painting?”
“You’re an heir to a Peking opera master?”
“You’re a successor to Huizhou inkstick making?”
“You’re an inheritor of suona music?”
…
Qiao Zi stares speechlessly at the sky. “Dad, what kind of feudal remnants are we? This is a whole gathering of intangible cultural heritage masters!”
No way! She has to set up a national association to bring them all together.
At the military base:
“Commander! The field manual your wife sent is incredible!”
“Commander! The experts say the design your wife sent is absolutely feasible!”
“Commander!…”
When Shen Jin sees Qiao Zi, he says, “Honey, I’m here to take you to join me at the base.”
Qiao Zi rolls her eyes. “Are you out of your mind? I remember refusing to get married back then.”
“You did refuse, but your father was worried about you, so he married you off to me!”
It's quite nice, but it's too short and leaves much to be desired.
