A Female Lead in Scientific Research Who Is Brilliant, Accomplished, and Makes Enormous Contributions

Looking for something like *Shocking! The Top Gaokao Scorer Wins a Nobel Prize*, where the female lead makes major contributions, helps her friends improve their grades and earns the gratitude of family and friends, advances the country through science and technology, and earns recognition. No male lead, or very little focus on him, is fine.

Do Period Novels Really Have to Send the Characters to the Countryside? Looking for Ones That Don’t
