    🍋1️⃣: A period drama. The male lead is a top researcher, handsome, responsible, and most importantly, willing to spend money on the female lead [kissing emoji]. It's really good! There are no awful characters, and the female lead understands her place after transmigrating into the book! She lives a good life, staying away from the main characters! She progresses alongside her villainous husband! 🍋2️⃣: The male lead is a top researcher. They get together but are later forced to separate. The female lead shines in the business world, while the male lead shines in the research field. They meet again at the top. This book really deserves full marks. It was excellent from beginning to end!!!
