Wu Yue's life is deeply divided.
On the outside, she's a delicate Tang Dynasty lady who can't take care of herself. On the inside, she's an engineering PhD who can't stop making sarcastic remarks.
As soon as she transmigrates, she switches on "survival mode": analyzing the ingredients in poison, improving drainage systems, calculating the trajectory for throwing stones at birds... Her daily inner monologue: "The infrastructure in this era is so backward!"
Her biggest dream is to find the "Blood-Pupil Stone" and return to the modern world, but first she gets tangled up with Li Yun.
He's a Vice Minister of Works, an assistant director at the Directorate of Construction, and, on the side, the most handsome covert guard commander under Wu Zetian.
When they first meet, he thinks this woman's behavior is strange and highly suspicious, so she needs to be kept under close watch.
So he watches her:
She uses the principle of "investigating things to gain knowledge" to solve mysteries, applies "chemical principles" to test poisons, and even wants to establish a "Tang Dynasty Academy of Sciences"?
Li Yun: "This woman is damn interesting!"
Before long, he's completely smitten. "My lady, could you use your theories to improve this mechanism of mine?"
Wu Yue: "??? Sir, your lovestruck brain is getting in the way of my research!"
With conspirators plotting to bring down the Tang Dynasty on one side and secrets unraveling at every turn on the other, Wu Yue's daily life in the Tang Dynasty consists of inventing things, solving cases, and dating a covert guard commander.
But... does she still need to look for the stone that can take her home? After all, she's already acquired the best project of all.
