Description
Lin Yuanshu, a seasoned slacker in the workplace, adhered to the principle that as long as the pharmaceutical factory didn't go bankrupt, she could slack off until the end of time, refusing to fall for her boss's grand promises.
However, before the factory went under, she transmigrated to the 1970s, a time of scarcity, finding herself a newly wed bride.
Her mother-in-law was unreasonable and difficult, her father-in-law was a dominating patriarch, and her husband was socially anxious and lacked assertiveness.
She would rather suffer in her career than in her marriage. This time, she vowed to live differently, to become a 'Go-Getter Queen' and be the one to 'draw big cakes' for her superiors.
From a chemical factory worker to the director of a Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine Institute, from generics to innovative drugs, she enabled more people to use affordable medicines, rewriting the history of medicine in China.
Yet, what others didn't know was that she initially just wanted to be a 'Go-Getter Queen'. Lin Yuanshu declared, "My slacking doesn't mean I lack ability!"
Reading Guide: The female protagonist never experiences internal conflict and is self-centered. The male protagonist is socially anxious, seemingly taciturn, but has a lot to say internally.
