I Married a Soldier and Went to the Gobi, Where I Do Research in the Sixties

[Period Romance + Military Marriage + Feel-Good]

Shen Wangshu is the daughter of a martyr, born into a family of workers but secretly a physics prodigy.

Born amid the flames of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, she grows up in the cracks between turbulent times.

Her father's overseas education is both a medal of honor and a time bomb that could go off at any moment.

As the notion that "education is useless" grows louder, her dream of scientific research seems about to be crushed by the tide of the times.

Main Story

Everyone says the best future for a girl like her is to find a decent man and live a quiet, stable life.

But in the craziest era of all, she makes the most astonishing choice.

She marries a taciturn soldier, gives up her chance to stay in the city, and resolutely follows him to the desolate far northwest.

Amid the vast sands of the Gobi, she escapes the turmoil of the outside world and throws herself into the world of physics her father left behind, all while her husband quietly protects her.

From student to researcher at a scientific institute, she solves one physics problem after another with page after page of calculations, ultimately devoting herself to the world-shaking project to build a bomb that would make the nation proud.

- Twist

To repay her country, she vows to seize every opportunity.

While others make revolution, she solves equations.

While others compete for status, she conducts experiments.

She thinks theirs is merely a marriage of convenience, never realizing that the seemingly cold, hard man has long since made her dream his own mission.

With a soldier's strength, he gives her a peaceful haven for scientific research.

"Though your name is unknown, your achievements will live forever."

"This prosperous age is just as you wished. I, too, have helped make our country strong."
