Unsteady Heartbeat

[The first version has many flaws, and I haven't checked it for typos. I'll revise the whole story without changing the plot.]

Blurb:

There are three great joys in life: getting promoted, getting rich, and your husband dying.

Rong Qinyao has managed all three.

Everyone in their circle says he's incredibly lucky.

When they were together, that man laid the whole world at his feet.

After his death, he left Rong Qinyao an inheritance he couldn't spend in several lifetimes.

Only Rong Qinyao knows that their relationship had long since rotted and festered.

Grand declarations of love were entangled with lies that cut to the bone,

becoming the heaviest shackles he wore.

Then, after a mix-up brought him together with Chu Ningyue,

the shackles that had seemed unbreakable began to loosen.

One chance encounter led to another, and after more run-ins than he could count,

Rong Qinyao sighed that it must be fate's cruel joke.

Little did he know that someone had spun countless webs of love, waiting for him to walk right in.

There was nowhere for him to run.

So many novels have heirs to powerful families in the capital.

Why are there no heirs to powerful families in Chongqing?

The famously mute groom, Ningyue, has this to say:

Family, background, looks: every single one of his qualities is a killer.

But when he opens his mouth, he loses the whole game. Everything else is reduced to zero, and even a god-tier face can't save him.

His own abilities have scared off all the admirers around him, making him an outstanding student of the Heartless Path.

Everyone knows the Heartless Path has a shocking graduation rate of zero percent.

So, as expected, Chu Ningyue got his just desserts too (wait, no, his love story).

A top-tier incubus who flirts without realizing it: Rong Qinyao.

But it seems the man still has a dead beloved in his heart.

They say the living can't compete with the dead. Chu Ningyue refuses to believe it.

He's going to pluck the bright moon from the sky and make it shine on him alone.

Note:

1. A story about a cool, beautiful man taming a wolf cub.

2. This is not a redemption story.

3. The "husband" in the blurb is actually an ex-boyfriend, confirmed dead. He has a role in driving the plot.

Theme: Love conquers every hardship.
