Lin Shifei, a renowned architect from the 21st century, transmigrates into a period novel about a woman devoted to her husband, becoming the heroine: a model wife who puts her husband first and dreams of having a son.
In the story, the original heroine devotes herself to being a stepmother, even going so far as to give her own daughter’s kidney to her husband’s illegitimate son when his kidneys develop problems.
In the end, she moves her husband’s illegitimate son so deeply that he calls her “Mom.”
Lin Shifei: For fuck’s sake, I just want to help build my country and realize my own dreams!
Break off the matchmaking, join a construction crew, and solve the problem of putting food on the table. Done.
Pick up her textbooks after work, take the college entrance exam, and get into the country’s top university. Done.
Join a design institute and become the last disciple of the retired Father of Bridges. Done.
Take part in building Huaguo’s first bridge across a natural chasm. Done.

At first, when the townspeople heard Lin Shifei had joined a construction crew, they scoffed.
That girl had never been able to take hardship since she was little. How could she possibly handle a construction site with such harsh conditions and grueling work?
Then the TV aired an interview with the chief architect of the bridge across the natural chasm.
Everyone was left with stinging cheeks.
A few years later.
Lin Shifei returned to town with a handsome man to update her household registration. The man pushed up his glasses and said bashfully, “Hello, I’m Shifei’s partner, and the man behind her.”
The neighbors collectively gaped in shock. “Y-you’re not President Ye Pei of the National Construction Design Institute?”
*
Ye Pei was a renowned Chinese structural engineer. After overcoming countless obstacles, he had finally returned to his motherland.
He was ready to devote the rest of his life to the mountains and rivers of his country.
One day, Ye Pei saw a young woman on the construction site, wearing a hard hat and covered in dust, arguing with a foreign engineer.
Her bright, hopeful eyes stood out like the rising sun.
What left the deepest impression on Ye Pei was the determination in her eyes.
Later, when they faced the withdrawal of technical support, interruptions in the supply of building materials, and hostile foreign powers watching them closely, that determination never dimmed.
“Huaguo’s first great bridge built using our own research and technology will open to traffic on schedule.”
“That is Huaguo’s promise to all its people, and its promise to the world.”
1. The heroine is an architect, and the hero is a structural engineer who specializes in structural design. Their relationship is one of mutual teasing and cooperation. A power couple working together to build their country!
Their work dynamic is like that poem going around online: “Hoeing grain beneath the midday sun, structural design is the hardest one. The architect draws a few lines, while the structural engineer works all afternoon.”
I hear structural engineers most want to kill architects...
2. A story driven by the heroine’s career. The romance will be woven into her professional life.
3. Construction projects involving bridges, buildings, and more, with a focus on bridges.
Theme: There is no escape from the divine arrows aimed at my soul; the storm rages over my darkened homeland. I entrust my hopes to cold stars, though the fragrant plants do not understand. I offer my blood to Xuanyuan. By Lu Xun
