After Four Years of Widowhood, My Late Husband Returned in Glory

Zhao Wan has just received a chastity arch when her fiancé, who died four years ago, returns home in glory. Her dream of making a fortune under the pretense of being a widow is dashed. In Zhao Wan's eyes, this man is utterly unreasonable. He's insensitive to romance and turns down her advances, yet he won't let her leave, whispering as they draw close, “Don't leave me.” More than once, he tells her, “Zhao Wan, you have no heart.” Zhao Wan replies, “Which one of us has no heart? I gave you a handkerchief, and you returned it to me yourself.” Giving someone a handkerchief means you care for them. Returning it is the ultimate face-slapping. Li Yuzong is stunned. “I thought... you were just lending it to me.” After all their twists and turns, it turns out to have been a misunderstanding. Even the stern, imposing general gets jealous. Li Yuzong: “You treasure money above all else, yet you spent a fortune to buy that male companion from the Grand Princess. What are you after?” Zhao Wan: “Huh? He was beaten until his skin was torn and he was barely alive. I just couldn't stand to see it.” Li Yuzong: “What about Zhong Yanze? You spend so much time with him. Do you like him?” Zhao Wan: “He said he'd help me open up trade routes between the prefectures.” Li Yuzong: “I can do that too. Turn down his offer, and I'll help you.” He knows exactly what he wants and answers without hesitation. “The only woman I'll ever have as my wife is Zhao Wan.” Neither the dignified, noble princess nor his gentle, gracious cousin by marriage could ever take her place. 1v1, a shrewd, calculating merchant woman × a stern, imposing general.
