Home/Drama/The Smiling Fool's Industrial Empire
by john1208·Translated by Novel AI Studio
When modern engineer Jynna awoke in the smog-choked 1970s analogue of the Ghaunt Republic, she wasn't alone. Crouched outside the parlor in her new body, she overheard Velia - the glamorous capital socialite who had stolen her identity at birth - striking a deal with her abusive mother-in-law. The terms were simple: take this massive stack of cash and ensure the depressed, suicidal Mirelle never recovers, burying the truth of her noble bloodline forever. Instead of raging, Jynna skipped into the room with a vacant, cheerful giggle. Let them think her suicide attempt left her brain-damaged. It was the perfect cover. Behind her wide-eyed, airhead persona, she unlocked the Chrono-Vault Lexicon - a time-dilated spatial library holding centuries of future blueprints. While her greedy in-laws scramble to steal the credit for the revolutionary threshers and looms she 'accidentally' tinkers with, Jynna is secretly building an untouchable monopoly, stuffing her malnourished twins with luxury rations, and plotting a flawlessly legal trap. But when her stern military husband, Commander Kord, returns from a classified operation, he immediately notices his tragic wife's bubbly routine is a terrifyingly sharp facade. Will he expose her secret empire, or become the perfect weapon in her smiling revenge?
