Blurb:

Ning Ning, an engineering PhD, takes a tumble while doing fieldwork and falls into the fictional Great Liang dynasty.

Winter is coming. Wrapped in a damp, moldy cotton-padded coat, she sits on a pile of straw, while the thatched roof over her head leaks rain...

Two malnourished, sickly children, a middle-aged widow who couldn't hurt a fly, and a husband who's been reduced to a severely injured vegetative state.

Ning Ning: "...Well, would you look at that? I've come to ancient times to provide targeted poverty relief?"

Even in another world, she has to work hard to survive. An engineering geek never gives up easily!

Making tofu and soap, producing face cream, developing lipstick, inventing solid perfume... Ning Ning uses her engineering golden finger to build a fortune in this unfamiliar Great Liang dynasty.

Life keeps getting better, and her goal of becoming the richest woman in the country and living in a mansion seems closer and closer. Who could have guessed that an accident would awaken all her memories?

Only then does she realize she has transmigrated into a Mary Sue novel called "Love That Captivates the World"! And her good-for-nothing husband is actually the devoted second male lead who silently protects the heroine.

Ning Ning: "..."

Why keep a man whose heart belongs to his white moonlight? She'd better run!

When Xiao Yanzhao was young, his father offended Emperor Zhaode, and the whole family was exiled. After a general amnesty was declared, he joined the army and reunited with Cui Wang and Wang Wan, his childhood friends from Yanjing.

Xiao Yanzhao was a brilliant military strategist who fought in campaigns across the land and helped pacify the realm, making enormous contributions to the new emperor Cui Wang's rise to power.

Who could have guessed that, once the hare was dead, the hound would be cooked? Xiao Yanzhao treated others with all his sincerity, yet in the end, all he got was a cup of poisoned wine and a death sentence.

When he opens his eyes again, he discovers he's returned to ten years earlier. His mother is still alive, and his younger brother and sister have yet to freeze to death in the bitter winter. And the wife, the Ning woman his mother hired to bring good luck to the family, who should have eloped with someone else long ago, is still in the Xiao household, keeping it running.

Xiao Yanzhao: "..."

With a second chance at life, he wants to live differently.

A transmigrated woman X a reborn man
