How to Get a Happy Ending After Marrying a Black Widower

I used to think the unspoken rule of the web-novel world was to only follow completed stories. Back then, I was an open-minded and forgiving reader, often leaving my elegant backside in the comments under stories that were still in their embryonic stages.

One day, I saw a blurb that caught my eye:

A scheming, black-hearted male lead gets involved with the wrong woman,

Kills his useless ex-wife, inherits her salt business, and becomes a wealthy widower,

Then has a meeting of souls with a noblewoman of the imperial clan who has been biding her time,

From then on, he helps the heroine rebel and level up, securing her rule over the realm.

Career-focused, strong female lead, equally matched couple, love and hate, devoted husband.

It sounded pretty delicious.

I happily added it to my favorites.

And then... I transmigrated.

For a while, I thought I was an NPC in some obscure alternate world, until my mother told me I was about to become a salt merchant.

At that moment, the pieces of the world clicked perfectly into place. Time, which had been frozen, began to move again. The black widower was about to arrive, and the countdown to my death had begun.

From that moment on, my romantic luck became suspiciously good.

Why are all these men so eager to get married?

What do you mean, if I won't accept your proposal, you'll threaten me with your life?

Most importantly!

There was supposed to be only one male lead, so why do I have four husbands?

Who's the mole?

Who's trying to kill me?
