    This one meets your requirements! The female lead is a top-tier interstellar researcher who transmigrates into the body of a cannon fodder ex-wife in a historical novel. She uses various technological inventions to propel her country forward, while the male lead protects her. With technology and inventions, the male and female leads lead their nation's elite forces through the rainforest, completing one impossible mission after another! It has blood, tears, family, friendship, and love, and above all, a strong sense of national responsibility. I also really liked the ending! Highly recommend reading it! [Laugh][smirk]
