The Fake Heiress Is Still Acting, While I Focus on Scientific Research

Alternate History · Regression · Period Setting · Genius Student · True and Fake Heiress · Scientific Research to Strengthen the Nation

Reborn back in the 1980s, Lin Zhiyao looked at the face in the mirror, so very similar to the wife of a top military district leader, and smiled.

In her previous life, she believed in "blood ties." After acknowledging her birth family, she became a stepping stone for the fake heiress, Lin Weiwei, and after being drained of all value, she died miserably. In this life, watching that family be endlessly reluctant to part with the girl they raised, she took the initiative and said, "Weiwei, you stay. I really don't mind."

And she truly didn't.

Competing for favor? Too low-level.

What she has in her head is the technology tree of the next several decades.

Stealing a fiance? No interest.

Which senior in the lab isn't destined to become an academic giant in the future?

While the fake heiress was still scheming over a new dress, she relied on advanced algorithmic ideas to become the "little mentor" honored by her father.

While the fake heiress was still spreading rumors that she was a country bumpkin, she was gently placing certificates from academic competitions, won with the top score in the entire city, onto the family banquet table.

When the fake heiress finally panicked and wanted to ruin her reputation, she couldn't even find Lin Zhiyao's shadow.

Sorry, she's tackling a national key project. Classified level. Unrelated persons keep out.

At last, Lin Weiwei broke down in tears. "I'll give everything back to you. Please, just don't destroy me!"

Lin Zhiyao took off her glasses, her gaze calm. "You've got it wrong. I was never targeting you."

"I'm only walking the road that belongs to me."

And that road is destined to blaze with starlight, bright enough to leave every lurking monster with nowhere to hide.

This is an alternate-history setting, entirely fictional. There is a male lead.
