The Daily Life of a Hapless Fool Who Transmigrated

Question on Zhihu: If you accidentally drown, how can you save yourself using your professional expertise?

Yin Liangyue, after staying up for several nights, glanced at the test tube bubbling away nearby, her eyes ringed with dark circles.

"Thanks for the invite. I'd react all the water away."

Then she closed her eyes, opened them again, and really did end up in the water.

As she neared death, choking, someone suddenly grabbed her around the waist and hauled her ashore.

She had transmigrated.

She'd become the eldest daughter of the Yin family in the Hua Dynasty, who had just been jilted by the Yang family and was threatening to kill herself.

Looking at the betrothal gifts that had been carried all the way around the capital before finally being brought into the residence,

Yin Liangyue, a newly independent woman from the 21st century, said, "I'm not getting married."

Her mother wailed, "You and Young Master Yi were pressed together, soaking wet... Your innocence is ruined!"

Her father roared, "If you won't marry, then become a nun!"

Yin Liangyue was tied up and shoved into the bridal sedan chair. "..."

But... her husband seemed to be no good at this sort of thing (?)

Yin Liangyue: So she's got a chance after all.

Until one day, the Divine Mechanism Battalion exploded, and she was surrounded as they brought her back to her confused, barely conscious husband.

He was mumbling incoherently, "Save the mainframe... my science... I haven't published..."

Yin Liangyue: "..."

Her eyes suddenly filled with tears.

With nowhere left to turn, a cornered beast fights back.

Yin Liangyue was tied to a rack, blood from a gash welling at her neck.

"Young Madam, I advise you to hand over the secret formula willingly, and spare yourself the pain of the lash, "

The enemy's sneer was cut short by a flying knife piercing his throat.

The sound of galloping hooves drew nearer.

Yin Liangyue's limbs were suddenly freed, and someone lifted her onto a horse.

Yi Shaohuan pressed his tongue against his cheek. With one hand around her slender waist, he raised an improved firearm, while his other hand swept his sword through the crowd, unstoppable.

"Is your husband handsome?"

"...Didn't you say your taekwondo black belt would be all show and no substance here...?"

His wrist turned, and one shot killed two men. He chuckled. "Oh, taekwondo is taekwondo."

"..."

A chuuni weapons genius, an engineering man, versus a lazy, good-for-nothing chemistry student, an engineering woman.
