    The story revolves around a female protagonist transmigrating into a male character. The main plot focuses on high intelligence. The protagonist has a slight advantage, but their development primarily relies on their own efforts, emotional intelligence, and intellectual abilities. They have clear goals and a strong set of values. Everyone is intelligent and acts in their own self-interest; the story reveals the complexities of human nature, and one cannot judge a person's character solely based on one aspect.

    Looking for a unique period drama? Then you can't miss this one. The female lead suddenly develops appendicitis, her stomach churning with pain, and the male lead takes her to the hospital. But halfway there, a neighbor stops them, saying that their comrade's widow is about to give birth. Without a second thought, the male lead leaves the female lead behind, telling her to wait, he'll be right back. Then, he dashes towards the family quarters like a whirlwind. A moment later, there's a flurry of activity inside, and then the male lead emerges carrying a heavily pregnant woman. Throughout this entire ordeal, the male lead doesn't even glance at his fiancée sitting on the bench; the female lead's face is as white as paper, completely devoid of color. Then, the hurried footsteps fade away, and the male lead's figure disappears completely from the female lead's sight. The female lead can't even remember how many times the male lead has abandoned her for Du Wanqiu. She's drenched in sweat from the pain, barely managing to stand up, only to collapse after a few steps into a cleared snowdrift, cold and in excruciating pain. This time, the female lead has truly given up on the male lead.
