Wei Ru is a top aerospace scientist from the 26th century who transmigrates into a period novel as Wei Erya.
Wei Erya has a biological mother who believes in the doctrine of female devotion, and her life has been one long tragedy of being exploited.
She expects Wei Ru to do the cooking, cleaning, and laundry for her stepsiblings? And give up her college admission letter, too?
Wei Ru looks at her mother coldly. "You can sacrifice as much as you want, but don't use my things to curry favor."
She turns and takes her homemade Jian-5 model plane to knock on the door of the local military compound.
What Wei Ru doesn't know is that every major change she makes will cause someone to remember a past life.
Wei Daya: It doesn't matter that I lost my admission letter. I can start a company like Wei Erya.
Her former educated-youth husband: I was wrong. If I go back to her, she'll surely still love me.
The Wei family's younger brother: Why didn't Wei Erya start a company? Why did she go to college? Damn it! Is Big Sis stupid? She didn't even snatch Erya's admission letter. Now the family just keeps getting poorer!
Her mother: What kind of sin did I commit, giving up my own daughter for a bunch of ungrateful ingrates?
Blurb Two:
Xie Chen is the odd one out in the Xie family.
Everyone in the Xie family works in high-tech academic research, but he gave up his studies to join the army.
One day, he comes home to pick up an assignment and finds his plain bedroom decorated in pink, with a vanity mirror and a wardrobe full of long dresses. Even the stainless-steel basin has been replaced with one in a fancy floral pattern.
He keenly notices a noise in the next room. When he goes in to look, he finds a young woman holding a power drill and smiling dreamily at a sheet of steel.
Just then, his mother comes out of the kitchen, wiping her hands in surprise. "Why are you back? Are you the guard assigned to Wei Ru? With your big, burly build, you need to be careful not to scare the girl."
Xie Chen recalls the look on the young woman's face as she held a knife: "..."
Reader's guide:
1. I've done research, but for the sake of fun and because of my limited knowledge, there are bound to be mistakes. As long as it's entertaining, that's what matters.
2. The main focus is the heroine advancing up the technology tree, a career story about driving the development of the aerospace industry.
3. There is a male lead and a romance, with sweet moments sprinkled into the career-focused story.
