by john1208·Translated by Novel AI Studio
In her first life, Teia Rostova was a relentless prodigy, the architect of a revolutionary bio-tech firm, until her own family betrayed her for profit. Dying, she used her final creation - a forbidden temporal device - to ensure her consciousness would awaken in a new body, at the perfect moment to reclaim her legacy. Now, she is Katya Sidorova, a listless, unremarkable heiress married off to Alek Volkov, the cold new CEO of her old company and the very man who once battled her for control of the industry. Alek resents this politically-forced marriage, seeing Katya as nothing more than a vapid distraction. But inside Katya's mind, Teia is stirring, armed with the knowledge of every corporate maneuver, every hidden weakness, and every secret betrayal. She plans to do the bare minimum to win back her life's work, but her scheming mother-in-law and the ghosts of her past won't make it easy. Can a lazy genius outplay an entire dynasty, or will reclaiming her past cost her the unexpected future she's building with her husband?
