I Asked You to Drive Long Haul, and You Robbed Every Road Bandit?

[Period drama + road-trip novel + feel-good female lead + getting rich through reselling + two strong leads who dote on each other] In the late 1970s, transportation is backward and highway bandits run rampant. Long-distance freight is a battlefield where men risk their lives for money. Jiang Tiehong, a master of extreme off-roading, transmigrates into the past and becomes a female driver in a state-run transport fleet where everyone excludes her. In this era, where gold lies everywhere but life is still wild and rough, she has no interest in domestic squabbles. She believes only in the accelerator and the iron gearshift. No power steering? She uses muscle memory to drift across the ice and snow. Bandits set up a roadblock and demand money? One swing of her wrench, and she hauls off both them and their stolen cash. Her partner, He Zhan, is a tough, recently discharged soldier who doesn’t waste words. She swings the wrench, he hands her the knife. Together, they speed across the country and make a fortune exploiting information gaps. “Boss, that female driver’s beat-up truck has no brakes! It’s coming right at us!” a member of the smuggling gang screams. Before the gang leader can even run, a fully loaded Jiefang heavy truck executes a god-tier drift and forces their armored truck over the cliff. The door flies open, and petite Jiang Tiehong steps out with a bloodstained pipe wrench in hand, followed by He Zhan carrying a hunting rifle. She blows the dust off her wrench and sneers. “Robbery? You’d better find out who runs this road now! Hand over the ledger and gold bars, and I might leave you with your bodies intact.”
