In Liao Village, there was a legendary figure ninety years ago. There was a girl in the village who was the first to be admitted to university and was even sponsored to study abroad. After returning to China, she directly participated in the development of fighter jets.... more>>

Liao Shan grew up listening to stories about this legendary grandaunt, setting her as a role model and working hard toward that goal — though somewhere along the way, things went a little off track… ending up building cars instead.

When she woke up, she found herself in a dilapidated thatched hut, inhabiting a frail and starving fifteen-year-old body, facing the disasters of dropping out of school and being forced into a marriage swap.

What’s worse, it seemed she had transmigrated into the life of that very legendary grandaunt...

One late night in 1963, inside the airplane factory, Liao Shan was busy redrawing the fighter jet blueprints.

Beside her, a tall, lean man with clear features said calmly, "The newly modified wing has a quarter-chord sweepback angle of 55 degrees, with an aspect ratio of 3.24.”

On the other side, a man whose short-sleeved combat uniform outlined his toned muscles was unwilling to be outdone, “Engineer Liao, can the engine be improved even further?”

Liao Shan held back her frustration. One was her superior, the other the project sponsor.

At that moment, the factory director, who was obsessed with matchmaking, rushed over and said, “Engineer Liao, I found you the perfect husband! A good man who can cook and do housework, just like you asked!”

In an instant, two pairs of burning eyes turned toward Liao Shan.

Liao Shan’s head ached. This is what she got for gossiping about her grandaunt’s love life for fun! <<less
