She only wanted to go back and save someone. She never expected even her biological parents to have changed! Her name had changed too. In this life, she was no longer called Wu Yu, but Jiang Qiao.
Jiang Qiao was born at the tail end of a difficult era. Her father did not care for her, and her mother did not love her. After her adoptive parents had a daughter of their own, all they wanted was for Jiang Qiao to become a sister-obsessed enabler and a free babysitter. That was Jiang Qiao's previous life. Now that she had a chance to start over, what would this life be like?
Jiang Qiao thought her life could be summed up like this: I avoid parents as if they were poisonous snakes and beasts, yet unexpectedly have a loving pair of my own. I only wanted to go back and save my lifesaver, but ended up sacrificing myself in the process. I originally only wanted to lie flat and coast through life, yet I work diligently for the country.

At that time, Xu Peixi, from a small-town family, stood gasping for breath at the campus gate, lugging a large pile of luggage and wearing clothes washed until they had faded white.

I followed this book from beginning to end, and the more I read to the end, the worse I felt. Judging from the scientific and technological progress promoted by the female protagonist, and the male protagonist winning the Nobel Prize, it should be very exciting. However, the progress in the article is all achieved under the incredible golden finger of the heroine. Compared with reality, it makes people more and more frustrated. It is even more unbelievable that the male protagonist won the Nobel Prize. I wonder how he could do research after working hard all his life, raising his children alone, being both a father and a mother? What is his award-winning economic theory? And the overall behavior of the heroine can be said to be black and red, which is very popular nowadays. Her behavior made it difficult for me to feel respect or admiration after seeing it. I just felt ridiculous. One person changed the world? People at Institute 123 have been doing the latest research. Are they out of touch with the rest of the world and do not understand the world's research progress and industry trends? There is no such thing as intelligence in the world of science and technology. Do we still need the heroine to go over and get angry? Without a heroine, we must be falling behind? Are there no other knowledgeable people? A high-tech research institute, the government allows it to be responsible for its own profits and losses? Don't invest anymore? Moreover, the lithography machine is originally a huge and complex industrial chain involving multiple industries. It cannot be produced by research institutes, but also requires all the supporting industries. What about supporting companies? What about the corresponding hardware production and software development capabilities? Thinking about it this way, where is the foundation? In addition, how capable is Han Yi, a child, that he can reach an understanding with the heroine so easily? Is he still a child? Even for novels, he needs a solid foundation in order to have wonderful stories and vivid characters. If the author didn't set up a rebirth and just let his imagination run wild, the foundation might be a little more solid. But using the concept of rebirth, it is basically empty.
To be honest, this is the first time I bought the whole book. I really enjoyed reading it at first, but the more I read, the more angry I became. The heroine really got worse and worse as she wrote. I was really drunk. There are so many talented people in the country, but the second half only highlights the feeling of one heroine being the most powerful, and everything depends on the heroine. At the national level, everything is slow and useless. I was really drunk, and I just want to be good to my family. But in the end, it is the family that I let down. So what is the heroine doing here in this life? For the grievances in the previous life and the villains she met in this life, she also gave them various solutions to make them live a good life, or she could scare away the best with just one sentence, and she could just smile and laugh at the things the Wu family did to her in the previous life and this life. I am so convinced. Why is the heroine so true, kind and beautiful? I really got angrier the more I talked, the more I talked, the more I felt that the heroine was a robot with all kinds of sexy operations. I was really speechless when I saw it. She was obviously portraying a cold heroine. I feel that in the end, it is a state machine. It is all for the country, especially the many hours spent for the country. Except for top secrets, I don't believe that you can't report safe, call, or even take a leave. And the heroine doesn't want to take a leave, so she just wants to finish it and go home quickly. However, she is moving on to the next project, so why bother? You can't stay with me for a long time, and you can't just come back once in a while when you have a vacation. It's better than you never come back. I'm so serious. The more I talk about it, the more I'm getting angrier!
After I finish writing, I will evaluate it objectively. The heroine is very noble, and I know that the author wants to create a perfect ideal character, which may even incorporate the author's personal ideals. But the problem is that it is too noble, causing the characters to float and the plot to be confusing, leaving readers in awe and wanting to complain at the same time. We don't deny that there are such characters in reality. I don't even need ridiculous things like a sense of substitution. Let's throw away some logic. There are only two results for a character like the heroine, either the results are replaced or she dies young. There are only two outcomes for their marriage, either the male protagonist will fall in love with someone else, or the female protagonist will die alone. As for the children, there is a high probability that they will hate them for the rest of their lives and will accomplish nothing.
What is the second half of it? Are you working hard for a long time just to feel sorry for all your relatives?
I'm a little sad that it ended like this. I hope there will be a sequel. The heroine seems to have never been truly "splendid" in her life.
It felt like Han Xiu was a tool and needed a child, so he came back to spend the night. It's time to give birth and come back for confinement. Done, continue to lose contact. As the plot continues to advance, the characters' faces become increasingly blurred. They have no joy or sorrow, no tossing and turning, and no emotional conflicts. They are more like robots, completing task instructions according to designated procedures. So everyone can understand it and it's OK. The most intense emotion was the two sentences of reproach from the heroine's mother on the phone. I don't quite understand this kind of characterization
The first time I spent dozens of dollars, the more I watched, the more speechless I became. Where is the coldness? Where is Leng Yan?
I saw the speechless +1 at the end. I was really shocked. I advise everyone not to watch it.
I have finished reading them all. I spent dozens of yuan on a book. It is full of anecdotes. It starts high and ends low. I even suspect that it was written by someone else, or that the original author stopped writing and found someone to fill in the book later. Very speechless.
Is this the end? Anticlimactic...
