My Old-Fashioned Wife Kept Her Widowhood for Years

[Blurb] Tsundere x scheming

Lu Zaiyi, who married young, has decided to get a divorce.

This marriage was all about mutual benefit, with no talk of love. Her wife worked long hours and put her job before her life. Though an omega, she was ascetic and desired no physical intimacy.

After five years of marriage, they each lived their own lives, and the number of times they had been physically intimate could be counted on one hand.

On the night she handed over the divorce papers, Lu Zaiyi completed her mission and returned to the modern world without ABO. But she never expected her heat to come along with her.

While everyone thought she was acting strangely because she had used too much perfume, her adult daughter shoved a suppressant into her arms, her face full of worry. "Mommy, hurry and take your shot!"

The girl in front of her was taller than she was, yet looked exactly like the three-year-old daughter from the book.

Lu Zaiyi stared, stunned. "?"

Fan Shunian was brought back into the Fan family at five, betrothed to the Lu family at seven, graduated from high school at fourteen, and married into the Lu family at twenty.

After marriage, Fan Shunian endured brutal power struggles among the wealthy and became the family's undisputed leader. Though she was at the top and people were eager to curry favor with her, Lu Zaiyi grew more and more distant.

As usual, after finishing work, she returned home to find their daughter already asleep. Fan Shunian finally had a rare moment of intimacy with Lu Zaiyi.

The next day, she found the divorce papers Lu Zaiyi had left on the bedside table. At the same time, word arrived that Lu Zaiyi was dead.

After years of raising their child alone, Fan Shunian unexpectedly returned to the world where Lu Zaiyi lived. Not long afterward, their daughter also transmigrated into the book after reaching adulthood.

This time, Fan Shunian only wants to cherish Lu Zaiyi and their daughter.

But Lu Zaiyi is in a hurry to cut ties with her and throw herself into another woman's arms.

Lu Zaiyi accidentally learns that their daughter can't stay long in the modern world. She also discovers the bad news that if she doesn't get together with Fan Shunian, they won't have a daughter.

After thinking it over, Lu Zaiyi goes to the Fan Group office and says in a matter-of-fact tone, "There's a deal I'd like to discuss with you."

Later, Lu Zaiyi repeatedly visits the private villa of the Fan Group's CEO, and everyone assumes the two are blissfully in love.

But in private, Lu Zaiyi stares at Fan Shunian in confusion. "This is the thirtieth time. You still haven't presented as an omega?"

Fan Shunian leans over her, her eyes glistening, her pale nape covered in bite marks. "Let's try again."

Reading guide:

1. No love rivals, and both leads have only ever been with each other, body and soul. Lu Zaiyi and Fan Shunian have both transmigrated into a book. Their daughter will not disappear.

2. In the ABO world, Lu Zaiyi is five years older than Fan Shunian. When Lu Zaiyi returns to the modern world after completing her mission, she is 25, and Fan Shunian is 35.
