   As a top-tier academic achiever in the 21st century, Jiang Leqi suffered a devaluation of her education but miraculously traveled back to the 1990s to marry into a wealthy family.

She'll definitely divorce later on. If you're reading this book by Paopao, you can read it without hesitation. If you don't believe me, check out her main account; you've definitely read one or two of her books, such as: Road Survival (by Invincible Black Whirlwind, the one by Qi Xu), Apocalypse (by Bai Yaoyao), and Back to 16 (by Lu Xiaoxing).
