Synopsis

[Island family compound + hardcore repairs + devoted romance + love at first sight + husband and wife working together]

Lin Qingzhi takes her sister's place in an arranged marriage to an island posting, hoping only to make money and build a career. Unfortunately for her, she runs into a shameless rogue with broad shoulders and a narrow waist.

Drawing on the solid repair skills she learned in her previous life, she goes from fixing watches to repairing hulking iron machines, making a name for herself on the island.

Until one day, Lin Qingzhi is secretly summoned to a massive research center. A leader points at the steel behemoth before them, eyes full of hope:

“Engineer Lin, do you think you can fix this hunk of junk?”

Lin Qingzhi stares at the rusty, battered machine and takes a deep breath:

“I can fix it, I can fix it, I can fix all of them. But, Leader, I also have a bold idea...”

When the design plans for the colossal machine cause an uproar at headquarters, investigators come knocking.

A devastatingly handsome man shields her, his face grave. “I personally supervised and reported all of my wife's research. If there's a problem, I'll take responsibility.”

Later, at the launch watched by countless people, he is now a leader in the special operations district. His deep voice comes through the walkie-talkie:

“Engineer Lin, I'll always be right behind you.”

Lin Qingzhi watches the data on the screen, the corners of her lips lifting.

“Leader Ji, it's time to witness a miracle.”
