Marrying the Male Lead's Uncle

When Jian Yunning woke up, she had transmigrated into a novel about a concubine-born daughter.

The male lead was the heir to a marquis's estate, and the female lead was a daughter born to a concubine in a prominent family. The two were in love with each other.

Unfortunately, she was not the heroine. She was the vicious supporting female character who, relying on the friendship between her older brother and the male lead, schemed to make him marry her.

Later, she was cast aside after poisoning the male lead's concubine, and the male and female leads ended up together.

Yunning thought, she was well-born, beautiful, and clever. Why chase after a man who did not love her? She would stay away from the leads and enjoy a wonderful life!

But she had better get back the purse she had given him yesterday as soon as possible. Fortunately, the male lead was currently staying at her family's residence, so there was still time.

That day, just as she was about to sneak into the male lead's room and retrieve the purse she had given him, she turned around and suddenly found herself gazing into a pair of eyes as deep and cold as a frozen lake.

The man's presence was so imposing that no one dared meet his gaze. Suppressing her fear, she took the initiative and challenged him: "Who are you, and how dare you trespass in my family's outer courtyard?"

A trace of amusement flickered in the man's eyes.

The guard beside him rebuked her: "How dare you! This is Lord Meng, the current prime minister."

Yunning was utterly shocked.

This was Meng Yuzhi, the male lead's maternal uncle, the Marquis of Pingnan and the current prime minister, The Outcast. In eight words, he could be described as: powerful and influential, indifferent to women.

Only later did Yunning discover that Meng Yuzhi's power and influence were real, but his indifference to women was not.

Upcoming Novel: Falling in Love with My Ex-Husband After Losing My Memory

Synopsis One

At a flower-viewing banquet, Su Wanqing, a concubine-born daughter of the Grand Tutor's household, did not even have a seat. She could only stand beside her stepmother and attend to her. Meanwhile, her stepmother was discussing marrying her off to the dissolute Fourth Young Master of the Minister of Revenue's household.

Expressionless, she looked toward the front of the banquet and happened to spot a cool, aloof man. The two of them were worlds apart. She could never marry someone of his standing in this lifetime, and she was not even qualified to be his concubine.

Her stepmother then ordered her to fetch something from the pavilion in the middle of the lake. The lakeshore was muddy, and someone pushed her into the water. When she woke up, she found herself lying on a bed, with the man beside her being the very same lofty figure from the banquet: the Marquis of Pingxi.

Synopsis Two

Cheng Yu was of noble birth and had repeatedly distinguished himself in battle. He was one of the finest of the younger generation. Everyone wondered which young lady the Marquis of Pingxi's elderly mother would choose as his wife, but no one expected her choice to fall on the Grand Tutor's household.

Everyone knew that the Marquis of Pingxi and his wife were on bad terms. In three years of marriage, they had never attended a banquet together. It was because the marquis had a beloved woman in his heart, and he had married his current wife only because she looked like her.

Now that beloved woman was finally returning, the couple decided to divorce. Yet, only a few days later, they unexpectedly reconciled and fell passionately in love like newlyweds. It was truly unbelievable.
