My next book, I Heard Good Researchers Get Assigned Partners, is open for preorders. Please add it to your reading list! Blurb: After being reborn, Cen Yingchun can't stop thinking about what marriage has brought women. A husband who's never home, rebellious children, a family back home that's always causing trouble, in-laws who look down on her and criticize everything she does, and herself as a full-time maid who works year-round with no pay and no praise? No. She can't go on living like this. She'll get divorced and build a career! But how does she build a career? Cen Yingchun has a flash of inspiration: If you're not clever, you have to read more. Books hold a golden house. Roll up your sleeves and get to work! She takes the college entrance exam, dives into business, starts a company, and joins the women's federation. She surges ahead and makes a name for herself! A reporter once asked her: "At forty, a woman is already halfway through life. You have elderly parents and young children to care for, and your youth is long gone. How did you find the courage to divorce? Do you regret it?" Cen Yingchun smiles confidently and replies: "This is the best age to be. When you bloom, the breeze will come." Years later, countless people look back on the interview and admire the remarkable second half of this legendary woman's life. A girl with a microscope notices something astonishing: At the end of the interview, a man's hand enters the frame, considerately draping a coat over Madam Cen's shoulders. Judging by the shape of the hand, the proportions of the five fingers, and the red mole in the web between the thumb and forefinger, the man who follows Madam Cen everywhere is none other than Minister Gu, who often appears on the evening news! My goddess got together with my idol? What kind of winner-takes-all life is this? That's amazing! (shouting) An insider, speaking anonymously, reveals: "That's nothing! Madam Cen's ex-husband is just as gorgeous. He's been chaste for decades, focused on work and never involved with anyone else! Think about that. Think it over carefully." The whole internet erupts. The topic explodes in popularity! Even more insiders can't keep quiet: "Check out @Wen Zhong on retreat, do not disturb, @Actor Wen Ling, @Wen Yu Loves Painting, @Study Hard Gu Tianyi, @New Era Cuckoo, @New Era Jiang Xue, and @Hongfei Treading Snow. You'll find some surprises." The gossip-hungry netizens are full to bursting. They return to say thanks: "You're a good person! This nobody has seen the world now. I've confirmed I'm just here to make up the numbers. I've given up and am lying flat." How can the world be so unfair? Why are other people so ridiculously outstanding, with successful careers, happy marriages, capable children, and such gorgeous looks? Yes, we're talking about you, Madam Cen Yingchun! Did you bribe Nuwa? Please write a book and share your secrets for getting born lucky! A publisher quietly posts an update: "Several books by @Cen Yingchun, including Postpartum Care for Sows, Three-Season Rice Cultivation and Management, Dwarfing and High-Density Planting Techniques for Fruit Trees, and Greenhouse Vegetable Cultivation and Management, have been reprinted. Available at major bookstores. Order now." The internet: ? Is this the same Madam Cen Yingchun I know? Take my knees, please, don't be shy! My next book, I Heard Good Researchers Get Assigned Partners, is open for preorders. Please add it to your reading list! Blurb: In her previous life, Hua Nong studied all the way to a PhD. After graduating, she became obsessed with research, working so hard she forgot to eat or sleep and practically lived in the lab. She was still single when she died from overwork. After an accident transmigrates her into the body of a village girl in the 1970s, Hua Nong makes good use of her free time between classes and resolves to sort out her love life as soon as possible. Being single your whole life is failure enough. She won't give up! But where is she supposed to find a partner? Hua Nong sends away yet another schemer trying to tempt her with a sugar-coated bomb, undermine her determination to study, and waste her youth. She plants her hands on her hips and sneers inwardly: What haven't I seen before? You think a boiled egg, half a steamed corn bun, and two roasted sweet potatoes will tempt me? I have no worldly desires! Everyone, get out of the way! Don't distract her from studying. She has to graduate quickly, do research, and help build the country! When she has free time, she'll look for someone and fall in love. She's busy enough already. Who has the patience to deal with these shady, ill-intentioned people? In her previous life, foreign powers tried every possible way to win Hua Nong over and lure her abroad. She stays on her guard, keeping her heart true to the country and drawing close to the organization. At the same time, she keeps her eyes peeled, trying to find her future partner among the endless crowds. He should have two eyes, a nose, and a mouth. Most importantly, he must have a full head of hair! She searches and searches, but even after waiting until her eyes ache, she finds no one. Hua Nong is discouraged. Everyone has their own specialty, and she has to admit she lacks talent in this area. Her previous life's failure is proof enough. When there's a problem, go to the organization. She heard through the grapevine that good researchers get assigned partners. She must not have reached that level in her previous life because her contributions weren't enough, so she'll work hard this time! A few years later, missiles and satellites have made it into space one after another. Hua Nong, barely making her way out of the lab while leaning against the wall, sees the handsome new guard assigned by the organization. Her eyes light up, and she rushes over, wraps her arms around him, and bites him to leave her mark. "You're the partner they assigned me, right? Waaa, the benefits are so good! Great quality, I'm very satisfied. You're the one! Come home with me." Yun Ting is caught completely off guard. With a bite mark on his cheek, he goes to report to his supervisor. The person he's protecting seems to have lost her mind. Is the work pressure too much for her? The supervisor is delighted: "Count it as a workplace injury. When you two get married, I'll give you double the wedding gift money!" Yun Ting: ...He didn't come here to ask for money. Never mind. Today isn't a good day to discuss work. The supervisor seems to have gone crazy with joy, too. Is the work pressure really that bad? He needs to go back and comfort and counsel Dr. Hua. She's a national treasure. Decades later, after Hua Nong passes away, her personal diaries are made public. On the title page, a line of bold, flowing handwriting reads: All the romantic thoughts of my life were for you. I have been true to my country, and true to you. Below it, a line of powerful handwriting answers: Loyal to my country and loyal to you. Through wind and rain, we'll walk hand in hand. I'll always be your strongest support. Theme: Love life and love yourself. When you bloom, butterflies will come. Live a brilliant life.
