[Period setting + devoted to each other + a little science and research + sweet romance + five-year age gap]
A stern, respectable, fussy peacock on the outside, and a “perfectly ordinary,” earnest researcher
Wen Zhiyao worked herself to death after staying up for a month straight on a research project. She transmigrates from the 35th century into the body of another Wen Zhiyao in a parallel world. Oh well, since she’s here, she might as well make the best of it.
But why is this family so poor?!
Oh, everyone’s this poor? Never mind, then!
Wen Zhiyao just wants to keep doing research. She doesn’t want to work at all!
It’s not like she’s doing anything strenuous, but she can’t even do the laundry!
And then, of all things, she accidentally falls into the river while going to wash clothes!
Wen Zhiyao: Help! I can’t swim!
Lu Jianguo went home to visit his family and ended up with a wife. He never expected her to be so exactly his type. They’re a match made in heaven!
Waaah X﹏X Heaven, I knew I was your favorite son!
Wen Zhiyao is at a loss. She went to wash some clothes and somehow ended up married. But never mind, she has to live somewhere, and following the army is no different.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Wen Zhiyao arrives, she finds a job. Her first month’s pay is even higher than Lu Jianguo’s.
Lu Jianguo: Admiring her.
In her second month, Wen Zhiyao is specially recruited.
Lu Jianguo: Kisses for my wife.
Wen Zhiyao is invited to work at a research institute.
Lu Jianguo: Proud of her.
Wen Zhiyao is nominated as an academician!
Lu Jianguo: Honey, you love me, right? X﹏X
