After the Funeral, My Late Husband’s Friends Tried to Claim Me by Force

[Multiple male leads+universally disliked but secretly beloved+food+different personalities in public and private+long-planned schemes+brothers fighting over her+male leads with no romantic history]

By chance, Yu Yousheng met Shen Zhuo.

Shen Zhuo was captivated by everything wonderful about her. She even won over his demanding palate with her cooking.

With his heart completely tied to her, he found ways to flirt with her and bring her home.

Composed and gentle/arrogant and conceited: “Whatever you want, I can give you, including everything I have.”

Their tender days lasted less than three years before her fiancé died in an accident.

Yu Yousheng planned to leave after arranging her beloved’s funeral.

With Shen Zhuo gone, she had no reason to stay with the Shen family.

She had never belonged in this circle and planned to return to the life she’d had before.

She knew the people here didn’t care for her, especially her fiancé’s friends.

Yu Yousheng’s gracious and considerate nature hadn’t brought her a moment’s peace. Instead, it only led to more open and underhanded competition.

At last, with a place by her side now empty, those men frantically tried to get her attention:

Quiet and taciturn/creepy and talkative: “If you miss your big brother, look at me! I’m his twin! Whatever he can do, I can do too!”

Cool and self-possessed/dominating and forceful: “I never disliked you. I only hated having to call you my younger brother’s wife.”

Bold and straightforward/timid and sensitive: “It’s not that I don’t want to be alone with you. I’m just afraid my heartbeat will give me away...”

Brilliant and gifted/quietly restrained: “I don’t care about all that nonsense. I just want you to be happy.”

Impulsive and reckless/longing for approval: “I’m trying to seduce you. Am I doing it right?”

Conceited and arrogant/clingy and devoted: “You think there’s something going on between us? Then keep thinking that. I want there to be something between us.”
