Marrying Her Ex's Uncle in the 1980s, She Drives a Top Scientist Wild

[Capital-Circle Research Big Shot x Little Mischief-Maker with Mastery of Chinese Medicine]

Her fiancé disappeared on a mission. Shen Ziling waited a whole year, only for him to return with a fashionable young woman and ask to break off their engagement.

But the woman wasn't what made Shen Ziling feel most threatened. It was the little text that appeared above her head.

[No wonder Shen Ziling is the villainess. She's so dramatic. She's about to be furious to death, isn't she?]

[Uncle Qin Wencong is another one who dies young. He'd just been elected an academician when he died. What a shame...]

Shen Ziling realized with a shock that she was an unlucky supporting female character, there to make the heroine look good!

She wasn't about to stick around and watch the leads' fairy-tale romance unfold. She promptly latched onto her doomed uncle's coattails instead.

Her uncle is great. Her uncle is a big shot. Her uncle is so considerate, dying young. And once he's gone, she can find someone else!

A year later, the cold big shot everyone talks about holds her close, whispering sweet nothings against her ear.

Two years later, Qin Wencong is still going strong, softly coaxing her every night.

What happened to dying young?

How did we end up with three kids? QAQ
