Blueprints of a Sarcastic Bride
By @john1208
Tashya Brask was supposed to be dead. Left to freeze by her greedy relatives, the notoriously sickly woman only survived because a cynical modern inventor took over her body. Waking up shivering at her own ghost-wedding designed to claim a 'dead' soldier’s pension, Tashya is ready to burn the town down - until Major Gavril Dorn kicks open the chapel doors, very much alive and incredibly stern. Exhausted by life, Tashya just wants to sleep. But with two starving orphaned toddlers and a dilapidated cabin, she sighs, opens her newly awakened time-dilated library of future blueprints, and gets to work. Soon, her lucrative retro-tech heaters and greenhouse crops are the envy of the frontier. When the abusive Brask family tries to claim they invented her booming technology to steal the factory, they are ruthlessly crushed by Gavril's unyielding military might. As the grumpy inventor and the stoic major awkwardly fall in love, Gavril hunts a stolen military artifact while Tashya tries to power her library's locked master core. But what happens when they realize they've been hunting the exact same missing puzzle piece?
