Young Madam, Did You Win Back Your Husband Today?

* Female-Centric Worldview

* Drifting Little Boat: Genius AI Architect X Steadfast Lonely Shore: Conglomerate Heiress

* A genius AI architect is reborn in a parallel world where men and women are equal, only to be forcibly claimed by a conglomerate heiress (not really)

*

The first person Qin Du Zhou saw upon opening her eyes after being reborn was a woman in a crisp suit, standing tall and straight. Her clear, cool eyes looked down across the crowd, noble and distant, like a lonely shore that could never be reached.

The System chattered in her ear, saying that the lonely shore was the protagonist and listing all her many virtues. Qin Du Zhou cut it off: "I don't need to do missions. Our paths won't cross."

She listened to the System's earnest instructions, like those of an anxious mother, and passed the lonely shore with an indifferent air.

Who could have guessed that the very next day, the woman would stroll onto the stage with one hand in her pocket, her gaze from behind her glasses fixed on Qin Du Zhou from above?

Two parallel lines twisted and crossed here.

One night, as a storm tossed Qin Du Zhou's little boat to and fro, the distant lonely shore took the initiative to approach. From inside her car, she looked down with a cool, reserved gaze and handed over an agreement granting "temporary permission to dock."

Lu Zhi An could occasionally hear the voice of the "System," and had also encountered several "conquerors" carrying Systems.

After six peaceful months, she once again heard the crackling, noisy voice of a machine by the roadside. She pinpointed this latest conqueror with precision:

A slender, frail woman whose gender was difficult to discern.

The woman slowly approached. Lu Zhi An looked down coldly, waiting for her to make a move, only for her to drift casually past.

Seated in her car, Lu Zhi An watched the woman sit in a noodle shop and wolf down three bowls of noodles, then pass her again without so much as turning her head.

She sneered. She wanted to see just how this woman planned to "conquer" her.

Who could have guessed that after all that waiting, what came was a pair of arms winding around her shoulders and back, and a kiss that drank in the tide.

It was the shore, gradually sinking beneath the waves.

Little Scene:

Lu Zhi An, heiress to the Other Shore Group and a genius senior, returned from abroad. Her first stop was her alma mater, where she gave a talk.

Led by a friendly senior, Qin Du Zhou attended the welcome banquet. The senior pointed to the person surrounded by admirers and whispered, "You still haven't found a job, have you? That's the heiress of the Other Shore Group. Find a chance to get to know her."

She smiled. "We're from different worlds. Why would she deign to let me get to know her?"

She raised her eyes carelessly and, after many years, once again met those reserved, cool eyes across the crowd.

This time, she was the one who had been casually passed by.

"Your conquest succeeded. Are you satisfied?"

"I'd be more satisfied if you didn't cry."

"Only dock at my lonely shore, little boat."

"Then don't let go of my mooring rope again."

Theme: The drifting boat will eventually find its shore.
