   In the 1970s, amidst scientific research and military marriage, Jiang Hui completed a quick transmigration mission and prepared to return to her original world. However, a system malfunction caused her to be transported back to the 1970s… Perhaps Jiang Hui truly is God's favorite; the treasure those spies had been searching for so long was actually found by her. "Comrade Jiang, what kind of luck is this? Those people searched for so long and couldn't find it, but you found it with just one flight of this thing?" Zhou Li glanced at the treasure in the cave, then at Jiang Hui. The people who came with her also felt it was quite surreal. "I just stumbled upon it by sheer luck. I was even thinking of making a few more drones, but now I don't need them anymore," Jiang Hui chuckled. This time, Jiang Hui had made a great contribution, not only finding the phosphate mine but also uncovering the treasure that the Japanese had been longing for.

Wearing clothes from the 1970s! Fighting enemy spies! Conducting scientific research! Earning military merit! Her space was created by the King of Hell's magic, the spiritual spring was given to her by the judge, and she empties the underworld before reincarnation. She even steals the Book of Life and Death. Wearing a tiger-head hat, she doesn't care about anyone! 2. It's exhilarating, hilarious, and thrilling. The female lead is incredibly powerful. She tears apart scoundrels in the early stages, and later joins the army to serve her country. After enlisting, she becomes incredibly attractive, exhilarating, and thrilling. The female lead is terrifyingly strong, incredibly skilled in combat, and takes revenge immediately. Her space was created through her fists. A specially recruited military doctor, she possesses abundant martial virtue… In the first chapter, she whips the lecherous man three times, first shoving the scoundrel's family into a latrine, then sending them to the desert to plant trees, killing enemy spies, and even using her space to empty the national treasury—a super satisfying story. After beating up the best, he also robbed the property and gained merit points that could be exchanged for magic weapons. I particularly like the heroine beating up Xiaozhi and kicking Nanhou.
