Reborn Three Years Later, I'm Doted on by My Best Friend's Mute Uncle

[Reborn + older man/younger woman + secret crush + devoted to each other + mute male lead who earns, fights for her, and always takes her side]

The moment Qiao Shuning opened her eyes, she realized she had been reborn three years after her death.

As she lay dying, she learned that this world was a novel, and that she was the Qiao family's fake heiress, a catalyst in the romance between the male and female leads.

Reborn, she threw herself into dance and acting, determined to forge her own path.

But after someone framed her, she accidentally got involved with her best friend's mute uncle. The man pointed to a red mark on his collarbone, tears welling in his eyes, and insisted she take responsibility.

They agreed to a whirlwind marriage. Qiao Shuning thought they would treat each other with polite respect after the wedding.

But her best friend's mute uncle knew how to play the victim. He wanted a goodnight kiss before bed, cuddles while they slept, and refused to let go of her afterward.

After marrying, Qiao Yanzhou still couldn't put his mind at ease. Afraid his beloved secret crush would leave him, he was jealous every moment of the day.

When they first married, he couldn't speak, so he played the poor, helpless mute. His wife had the softest heart. Later, once he could talk, he wouldn't stop talking.

“Your former fiancé came looking for you again. You won't pay him any attention, will you?”

“Baby, your best friend is away on a business trip. Could you stay with me a little longer?”

Qiao Shuning: …

Bestie, your uncle, who's now my husband, seems a little different from what you said!

Bonus scene:

Much later, during a game of truth or dare, Qiao Shuning admitted she'd felt a male model's abs.

But her jealous husband didn't get mad at all.

“Wife, you might not know this, but I was the male model whose abs you touched!”

(The male lead really is mute at first, but he gets better later.)
