The 1970s: The Male Side Character's Wronged Widow Has Had Enough

When she woke up, Su Ying had become the male supporting character's hapless deceased wife from a two-part period novel.

The male supporting character devotedly protected the heroine of the first life for 20 years. When she became pregnant before marriage, he abandoned his pregnant wife, the original owner, and busied himself taking care of the heroine during her confinement.

To keep up appearances, he even gave the heroine's daughter, the beloved heroine of the second life, the title of the daughter of his savior, then brought her home and adopted her.

He treated the original owner's daughter like she didn't exist and spoiled the beloved heroine rotten.

Don't ask. He was just repaying a debt of gratitude. Her birth mother died saving me, so our whole family owes her.

Don't make a fuss. If you do, you're selfish, rotten to the core, and don't know how to repay kindness.

The original owner was emotionally manipulated and guilt-tripped into being a hapless victim, and died young.

Just then, the original owner's birth parents came looking for her. The male supporting character walked over her corpse and inherited all the assets of his in-laws, who came from a prominent military compound family.

He became the richest man thanks to that inheritance, yet he continued to put down the original owner's daughter while showering affection on the beloved heroine. He drove the original owner's daughter into becoming a vicious female supporting character, and in the end, she met a miserable fate too.

Su Ying laughed in anger. She tore up the script, exposed the beloved heroine's origins, unmasked the male supporting character, and left with the child after divorcing him.

After the divorce, her birth parents were still in the cowshed and had yet to be politically rehabilitated. The heroine's lackeys also resented her for damaging the heroine's reputation and wanted revenge in secret.

At this crucial moment, Lu Zheng, a powerful figure who died young in the book and the heroine's human golden finger, came looking for her of his own accord. He wanted to marry her on a five-year contract.

He promised to hand over his savings and salary, have no children, and not interfere with her freedom. After five years, Su Ying could leave if she wanted to. If she didn't, he would support her for the rest of her life.

Su Ying agreed without hesitation. But... wasn't this supposed to be a contract marriage, where she could leave whenever she wanted? Lu Zheng, why did you go back on your word?

Lu Zheng had sailed through the first half of his life, a true winner. Then he met Xu Yue, and it was like he had been bewitched.

Xu Yue had only casually helped him once, but he acted as if she had saved his life. Whenever she ran into trouble, he couldn't stop himself from stepping in to help.

Even after he died unexpectedly on a mission, he left all his inheritance to Xu Yue.

He lived again, hoping to change everything, but was powerless to do so. Then he met Su Ying, the unexpected variable, and saw a glimmer of hope.

At first, he thought he cared only about his career and had no interest in love, so he proposed a contract marriage.

But later, all Lu Zheng could say was that he had been thoroughly face-slapped, and that he loved it.
