Everyone among Jiangcheng's elite knew that Gu Lin kept a canary.
On the day of Gu Lin's funeral, she attended alone in the pouring rain, two streams of tears slowly running down her cheeks.
- Your wife is fine, and the next second, mine
The canary was gentle, timid, and knew how to please. All it took was a hint, and she received their text: “Want to marry me?”
They hurried to meet her, only to run into their sworn enemy/best friend, who had also come for the date. That's when they discovered she'd sent the same text to everyone.
This banquet was the canary's husband-selection party.
They should have turned and left, but when Jiang Li appeared, everyone stopped in their tracks at the same time.

Jiang Li opened The Devoted Wife Simulator.
The game had exquisite character models and dazzling effects, and it even assigned you a husband for free from the start. Players hopeless at romance could finally relax.
Her husband in the game was gentle and considerate, and her married life was blissful.
Until-
[Your husband died in a car accident.]
[You inherited his estate and his nephew.]
Jiang Li was too heartbroken to eat. After barely managing to attend the funeral, she fainted on the ground.
When she woke up, she counted the zeroes in her bank account and rubbed her eyes in disbelief.
Uncontrollable tears trickled from the corners of her mouth.
How sad. Her cold husband had turned into warm yuan.
The dead were gone, and Jiang Li had to live well. There was no helping it. She was a pampered wife who couldn't live independently without her husband's care, so she tearfully picked out her next husband.
There was no time to grieve her ex-husband. Now entering the romance was...
[Your husband has died again.]
[You inherited his company and his underlings.]
[Your husband has died again and again.]
[You inherited his wealth and his influence.]
Without a husband, all Jiang Li could do each day was enjoy expensive spa treatments by herself, casually pick out ordinary jewelry at auctions, and listen to pretty ladies shower her with praise.
Then one day, on a sudden whim, Jiang Li visited a male model club. In the mirror, she saw her husband's ghost climb onto her back, and heard his cloying voice call out, “Baby, baby, baby...”
Jiang Li gratefully took his cold fingers and interlaced them with her own.
Wonderful, one of her previous husbands was back for a rerun. The form might be a little unusual, but nonhumans were delicious too.
She called out in a lingering, tender voice, “Hubby.”
Her husband leaned down and pressed his face to hers. “Baby, call me by my name.”
Jiang Li fell silent.
Sorry, which husband are you again?
[Your husband has turned dark and locked you up. He has tormented you over and over in bed.]
[You keep crying.]
Jiang Li lay in her husband's arms, smiling happily.
Wow, she had both money and a husband. Double the happiness.
But her husband didn't see it that way. He only wanted to know who Jiang Li meant when she called out “Hubby” last night.
#Why are so many people asking whether she can date first, build a relationship, and then get married
#She's playing The Devoted Wife Simulator, not The Dating Simulator. When would she have time to build a relationship
#Besides, even without building affection, the relationship meter is already maxed out

Gu Lin found Jiang Li outside the marriage registry. Barefoot in the cold wind, she pointed at him like she was doing him a favor. “You. You're the one. Marry me right now.”
He thought she was mentally ill.
When he was forced to take her home, he watched her coldly as she proposed to three men in a single day. Back then, he never imagined that one day he would beg for her fickle love like a dog.
He knew perfectly well she was only saying it offhandedly, yet he couldn't stop himself from falling for her.
He hated the cheap love she offered, and hated her even more for not understanding love.
[Reader Advisory]
The main story is told in third person.
The player is impulsive, willful, self-important, and shamelessly willing to live off others. Her motto is that her own enjoyment comes first. Her daily routine is getting promoted, getting rich, and burying her husbands.
There are three husbands, and every one of them loves the player. Her admirers aren't limited to her husbands: there are countless unrequited loves, all destined to be heartbreaking. Being her husband is a high-risk occupation: they all die, then return together as ghosts.
Not a strong female lead, but a pure Mary Sue reverse harem.
Theme: Love yourself
