   Book 1 ①✨ Su Lingyu, a pampered modern woman, lived a carefree life until a system transported her to the impoverished 1980s, making her the vicious ex-wife of Huo Yan, the male lead in a military romance novel. Anyone would be bewildered by this start, right? But Su Lingyu wasn't afraid. Adhering to the philosophy that "playing dumb is an art," she easily completed her daily tasks by throwing tantrums and putting on a show, living a rather enjoyable life. But slowly, she realized something was amiss. Everyone in her family doted on her. Her father-in-law gave her pocket money, her mother-in-law gave her a jade pendant, her sister-in-law and brother-in-law were considerate and understanding, and even the sickly villain in the novel who wanted to throw her into the sea to feed the fish was now fixated on her with a crazed and obsessive gaze. Had they all collectively "gone mad"? Book 2 ②✨ Besides the sweet romance, this book's patriotism is also exhilarating! Gu Nanji, with his scientific research capabilities, developed vaccines and gene-based drugs, each achievement astonishing the world and allowing the nation to stand tall on the international stage. Xie Zhenting, after waking up, returned to the battlefield, joining forces with Gu Nanji—one on the front lines of scientific research, the other on the military battlefield—to fight with all their might for the nation's rise. Meanwhile, the reborn female protagonist from the original novel tries to cause trouble, wanting to reclaim "everything that belongs to her," but she is ultimately defeated by the combined strength of Gu Nanji and Xie Zhenting. Watching Gu Nanji tear apart the scheming woman, his sweet moments with Xie Zhenting, and their joint efforts in building their careers is truly exhilarating!

The novel's sweet and doting moments are particularly prominent; although Bo Yixun is not good with words, he always protects Yu Suihuan at crucial moments, expressing his care and love for her through actions. Yu Suihuan, in turn, uses her intelligence and wit to resolve crises time and time again, winning Bo Yixun's heart. Their relationship gradually warms up with each interaction, ultimately leading to a sweet ending. Most importantly, the male lead can identify manipulative women and completely avoids their tricks, which is incredibly satisfying.
