An 1980s Stepmom Uses a System to Advance Technology

After transmigrating into the 1980s as a despised stepmother who abuses her stepson, Lin Wan is chased by the neighborhood's old ladies with brooms from the very start?

Lin Wan smashes a “rapid-setting alloy ingot” onto a blue stone brick, splitting it apart. “I came from 2035. You think I'm playing house with you?”

On the first day the System binds itself to her, she burns a denunciation letter in front of the whole village. “Three days. Raise the corn yield by 30%, or I'll leave!”

By the third day, her name is on the front page of the provincial newspaper, and a military commander's jeep pulls right up to her door.

Her husband is a stern, rugged border-defense company commander who hasn't smiled in twenty years of standing guard. Yet the first thing he says when he gets home is, “Wife, come work on research with the army.” Her stepson goes from hiding whenever he sees her to climbing onto her shoulders and calling her “a goddess.” The whole school starts calling him a “little prodigy.”

She thought she'd just be raising a child and working on technology, but then...

When foreign experts take apart a machine on the spot to expose her as a fraud, she throws the data back at them and makes them apologize publicly. When a sky-high job offer comes, she tears it up in front of them. “I put on this uniform to come here, and I never planned to take it off.” When a trained deputy parachutes in and sneers that her “folk methods won't work,” she slaps a defective wafer on the table. “You have a degree. I have the vision of someone from thirty years in the future.”

From crude silicon wafers to domestically made chips, from the family compound to international expos, she uses the simplest methods and works through the longest nights, single-handedly pushing China's technology thirty years ahead.

After transmigrating, she didn't become some domineering CEO's pampered wife. She did just one thing: made sure the people of her country would never have to beg anyone again.
