   Reader note

   ① The male and female protagonists were originally engaged, but this engagement was a secret to the male protagonist. While asking the female protagonist to wait for his return, he secretly went home to try to persuade his family to agree to dissolve the engagement. Even more shockingly, he had his parents send the female protagonist a letter announcing the dissolution of the engagement, completely unaware of the immense blow this would be to her. ② This powerful figure from the apocalypse unexpectedly transmigrated, while the female protagonist, with a relaxed attitude towards retirement, lived her own simple life. However, her actions were full of strength and wisdom. She not only actively combated human trafficking but also enthusiastically invented things, helping villagers escape poverty and even establishing a factory. Despite encountering countless misunderstandings, suspicions, and distrust along the way, none of this could deter her determination to contribute to the construction of her country. ③ The female protagonist experienced two lives, but in both worlds, she remained committed to the prosperity of her motherland. In this work, the romance is relatively limited, which might seem a bit boring at first. However, as the story progresses and the female protagonist becomes involved in various research projects, the story becomes much more interesting. She not only frequently helps the police catch bad guys, but also contributes her wisdom and hard work to the progress of the motherland.
