Smash All Pots and Pans To Go to School Novel

Wei San, a former top engineering student, transmigrates into an interstellar world as an impoverished child denied access to education. Through scavenging and recycling, she saves enough money to enroll in school, intending to become a wealthy Mecha Engineer. However, lured by cheaper tuition, she mistakenly registers for the mecha individual fighter program instead—a path for combat-obsessed warriors, completely opposite to her gentle, scholarly nature. Undeterred, Wei San resolves to self-study engineering during her spare time. When media broadcasts live footage of students training intensely for an upcoming competition, cameras capture Wei San calmly reading in the training hall. As the lens focuses on her book, viewers across the star network see the title: "Qing Fei teaches you to become a mecha master in 21 days"—an obviously questionable self-help manual. The internet erupts with speculation, and headlines soon declare that a military academy student has suffered a mental breakdown during training and is attempting to switch careers.
