My Husband Is a Retired Spider-Man

[A female lead from a domineering-CEO mashup world × a Spider-Man who has lost everything and is semi-retired]

At twenty-seven, Spider-Man had lost everything: family, love, friends. Knowing nothing and having been through it all, he went on alone as New York’s friendly neighborhood Spider-Man, until he arrived in this world. It had another Spider-Man, and even more superheroes… They were close-knit and had formed the Avengers. He thought he could finally take a break.

Then he spilled a cup of coffee on someone. It wasn’t the kind of mistake he would make. He apologized profusely, and the other person replied gently, “This suit is expensive, and you probably can’t afford to pay for it. But my family is pressuring me to get married, and it’s stressing me out. If you’re willing, you don’t have to pay me. Could you marry me in name only?”

From the heroine’s perspective:

She spoke fluently at one.

She had mastered the entire university curriculum by two.

She won a Nobel Prize at three.

She hacked into the global internet and became a top hacker at five.

She established a multinational business empire at six…

She excelled at medicine, cooking, combat, finance, political strategy, research, hacking, psychology, and planning. There was nothing she couldn’t do.

She’d had enough of X-ray vision, mind-reading, astral projection, body-swapping, being reborn, first loves, substitutes, arranged marriages, exploitation, and scheming.

All she wanted was to find her ordinary little sweetheart and start living happily as soon as possible. Then, one afternoon, when she appeared in another world, a very, very ordinary man spilled a cup of coffee on her. Watching him fumble to apologize with his head bowed, Alicia crooked her mouth. This damn love at first sight: were they about to start the whole cycle of making up, fighting, fighting, making up, misunderstandings, blindness, amnesia, missing each other, leukemia, paralysis, and chasing her back after she’d already left him?
