Blurb:

In the year 3080, agricultural PhD Jiang Yingchun, a national treasure, accidentally transmigrates into a book.

She becomes the identically named cannon-fodder female character in a story set in the 1970s.

In the book, her parents die young. To raise her younger siblings, she is tricked by her wicked second uncle into signing a contract, and her whole family ends up meeting an early end.

Jiang Yingchun takes a look at the laboratory that came with her, tears up the contract of indenture, and promptly sends her second uncle to the police station.

Her uncle fails to get what he wants and ends up losing everything. Furious, he waits to watch Jiang Yingchun and her siblings starve.

You want to laugh at me? I’ll make you the laughingstock first.

Plant a super seed, and one acre can yield as much as ten.

Clothes are plain and uninspired? She designs them into the latest fashion.

Nothing to snack on? A food factory goes up in no time.

A comprehensive industrial park rises from the ground, and business partners compete to shower Jiang Yingchun with money.

The only problem is that there are too many jobs and not enough people.

The whole village: We’ll help!

Second uncle: So I was the clown all along?

Later, Jiang Yingchun earns titles like “Agricultural Expert,” “Food Industry Tycoon,” and “Technology Pioneer.” She boosts the village economy, leads everyone out of poverty and toward prosperity, and accidentally becomes the richest person in the country.

When reporters compete for interviews, Jiang Yingchun says, “I’ve decided to give all my technology to the country for free.”

!!!!! She’s earned the title of National Treasure once again! √

When Tian Suisui’s consciousness faded, she felt unwilling to let go. She had never been happy in this life.

She had worked like a beast of burden for her family since childhood. At nineteen, she registered her marriage to the man she was promised to as a child. She saw how handsome he was and silently gave him her heart, looking forward to their future.

But in the two years they were married, she could count on her fingers how many times he had spoken to her. She didn’t understand what he said, and he had no interest in what she said.

She knew she was useless. She was illiterate and couldn’t express herself, much less help him with his career. If she got another life, she hoped her father would end the childhood betrothal. She didn’t want to hold him back or feel heartbroken anymore.

When she opens her eyes again, he’s holding their two marriage certificates. His voice is calm. “Come with me to the army base tomorrow.”

Fine, then. If she can’t end the betrothal, she’ll guard her heart and change herself. She’ll make friends, take the college entrance exams, and live a life of her own.

But can someone explain what’s gotten into this man? Every day, he fusses over her and treats her like a daughter.

She coughs, and he immediately takes out a thermometer. “Come here and take your temperature. Then we’re going to the medical clinic.”

She takes a sip of cold water, and he takes her cup away. “Cold water is bad for your stomach. I’ll get you some warm water.”

She wants to eat some leftovers, and he rolls up his sleeves. “Leftovers can be harmful. Tell me what you want, and I’ll make it for you.”

She wants to study a little longer, and he leans against the headboard. “Aren’t you coming? The bed’s all warmed up.”

When Lu Hansong first arrived at the army base, he had a dream. In it, his wife fell ill and died in the second year of their marriage. He had thought they would love each other until old age. Afterward, his days were filled with unbearable pain.

When he wakes, he looks at his gentle, quiet young wife and decides to take precautions starting now.

He’s going to spend his whole life with her.
