The good news: He was bound to a System, and its generous rewards could help him reach the peak of life in no time. The bad news: It was a danmei romance System, and he had to win men's affection to earn rewards. Ran Si, who considered himself absolutely straight: "..." The good news: His only target was the original owner's husband. They had been married for five years and had some emotional foundation, so completing the mission should be a piece of cake. The bad news: That husband had been dead for five years, stone-cold. Ran Si, already successfully bound to his target: "???" So the five years of marriage were just for show? He was widowed right after the wedding? Wait, no. The point is: How is he supposed to win over a dead man? Damn it, at least give him a summoning-the-dead System first! (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻ With no husband and no way to summon the dead, and a vicious creditor breathing down his neck, Ran Si was desperate. He could only imitate the lovesick little widow in a TV drama, clutch his husband's black-and-white portrait, and sob his heart out with such sincerity that even heaven and earth were moved: "You wretched dead man, how could you just leave me like this? Waaaah! You left me all alone in this world. How am I supposed to go on? Waaaah! I don't want to live without you! Waaaah!" [Ding! Affection +1. Reward: 10,000 Blue Star coins!] Ran Si: "!"

She said to stop deluding myself and trying to tempt her into cheating. What should I do?] ***Next up: The Little Monster with a Wife Is Something Else*** Preorder blurb: Jian Tang is a little monster in a world of the uncanny. His greatest dream in life is to raise a cute human wife. He heard that cute human wives were the world's greatest treasures, and having one meant a lifetime of happiness! As a weak little monster, he can't enter dungeons to earn coins, so he can only work as a low-level package sorter. Every day, Jian Tang works himself to the bone for a pitiful wage. After working hard for 999 years, Jian Tang finally saved enough money to buy a human wife from a shady broker, along with a cozy little apartment for raising her. Yay! I'm a little monster with a cute wife now! But the adorable human wife he'd imagined never appeared. Instead, the person living in the apartment was a tall, broad-shouldered man with a cold, fierce stare. Jian Tang burst into tears: That shady broker ruined everything! I want a refund! QAQ With no way to return him, Jian Tang tearfully accepted his fate and nervously began raising his counterfeit "cute wife." After looking after him for a while, Jian Tang realized: This wife might not be cute, but he seems pretty nice? He's a little scary-looking and a little quiet, but he's easy to cheer up, not clingy, and even gives me pretty little gifts. It's just that Jian Tang can't understand why, whenever he goes out carrying a gift from his wife, the powerful monsters who used to order him around turn pale and tremble all over. Even his exploitative boss stops making him work overtime and gives him three raises in a row. Jian Tang: ? Could they have found out that I have a cute wife? Wow, having a wife really does make me something else! [Proudly hands on hips.jpg] Top's POV. Feng Xun is the most feared assassin in the world of the uncanny. The monsters there are so terrified that they wet themselves just from catching his scent. One day, Feng Xun grew tired of living that way. He could no longer tell what made him any different from those bloodthirsty, hideous monsters when he himself was so lost in killing. He was even beginning to forget what an ordinary human life was supposed to be like. Feng Xun announced his retirement and spent a huge number of points to order a safe house from the System. He had only one requirement for this expensive safe house: Let me experience the ordinary human life, full of everyday warmth. His wish came true. He got a cozy human apartment and an adorable wife who sweetly called him "wife." ...Wait, shouldn't they have the names the other way around? Well, that didn't matter. What mattered was that Feng Xun really did get to experience the ordinary human life, full of everyday warmth He got to eat half-raw, nutritious meals his wife prepared with his terrible cooking skills; He got to hear his wife angrily complain that his exploitative boss had once again withheld overtime pay; Before his wife left for work, he got a sweet kiss and heard, "Be a good boy and watch the house, darling!" Good. This was the ordinary, unremarkable human life he wanted. He loved this life. He loved his ordinary, unremarkable, adorable wife.
