Transmigrate into a Book: The Feisty Little Wife Marries the Male Lead's Uncle

[Transmigrate into a book + Period novel + Sweet romance + System + Age gap + Both leads’ first love]

[Sweet-talking, sharp-witted little actress × uptight, abstinent romantic]

Jiang Zhiyue, a beautiful, wealthy woman, was at a pool party at home when a lunatic caused her to fall in and drown.

When she opened her eyes again, she was forced to bind herself to a System and had become a pretty but foolish, spoiled female side character in a period novel.

To stay alive, she had to complete the System’s missions. With no other skills to speak of, Jiang Zhiyue rolled up her sleeves and got to work!

She kept slapping down enemies and completing missions to extend her life.

What she didn’t expect was that the original story’s doomed big shot, whom she had casually flirted with, would end up clinging to her.

Jiang Zhiyue sighed helplessly. “Big shot, what happened to your abstinent persona?”

Xie Xijing was uptight, abstinent, cool, and aloof. He had never been interested in romance.

But then he met a certain sweet-talking, sharp-witted little rascal who recklessly provoked him.

He had originally been so restrained and self-possessed, but this woman had the nerve to have her fun and run, then deny everything.

Xie Xijing pressed her relentlessly. “Darling, who taught you to seduce someone and then abandon them?”

Later, someone interviewed the distinguished researcher Xie Xijing. “Everyone knows you and your wife are very much in love. Would you tell us how you fell for each other?”

After a moment’s thought, the big shot answered with a perfectly straight face, “It was love at first sight, and we fell deeper the second time.”

The interviewer exclaimed, “Wow, that must be such a romantic story.”

He smiled without answering and nodded with dignified restraint.

That evening, after Xie Xijing got home from the interview, he found his wife looking at him with an amused smile.

“Love at first sight?”

That was when she had accidentally stripped him.

“Fell deeper the second time?”

That was when she touched... Ahem! Best not to mention it.

Years later, Big Shot Xie’s ears turned red all over again.

[Not a traditional period novel. The System is just background; the focus is on gossip, spectating, and romance.]
