The Heartthrob Is Determined to Stay a Widower

Xie Yunyi was sickly from childhood, so to keep him safe, his elders arranged a special marriage for him. When he grew up, he devoted himself to his career, but found himself surrounded by countless admirers. To escape the commotion, Xie Yunyi simply claimed to be widowed. Xie Yunyi: Don't ask. I just can't forget him. A top idol actor is madly in love with him and gives him globally limited-edition jewelry. Xie Yunyi smiles and politely declines. "I'm sorry, but the person at home doesn't like me wearing things other people give me." ...As soon as the gift is opened, the gemstone silently cracks and disintegrates into dust at a touch. A domineering CEO has rare roses flown in and arranges them in a heart beneath Xie Yunyi's apartment at dawn. Xie Yunyi stays inside and politely tells him over the phone, "I'm sorry, but the only roses I like are the ones he gives me." ...That night, an invisible hand kneads his ankle in the bath, while red petals cover the water. A top singer writes him a song and performs it in person to declare his love publicly. Xie Yunyi puts on his headphones. "I'm really sorry, but I'd rather hear him tell me he loves me." ...Hours later, torrential rain pours down. The whole city seems to weep, and every raindrop that hits Xie Yunyi leaves a red mark. As time goes on, Xie Yunyi's reputation as a devoted lover becomes more and more firmly established. Until one day, the legendary big shot knocks on his door. He's impossibly handsome, dangerous yet captivating. Smiling, he introduces himself: "Hello, I'm Fu Siyi, your betrothed." Xie Yunyi is stunned. "Who did you say you were???" Fu Siyi's smile doesn't waver as he repeats gently, "Your husband." He once endured the fires of hell in the deepest abyss of the sea, on the verge of perishing. But a voice kept echoing in his ears, repeating its love for him and strengthening his bond with the world. That was how he managed to return to the mortal realm. Now, naturally, he has come for him. He will take his beloved away, and from then on, they will never be apart. Coming soon from next door: The Stingy Extra Shu You is transmigrated into a book as a greedy, hypocritical, selfish cannon-fodder love interest. In the original story, he gets together with the male lead for money, then abandons him when he falls on hard times. In the end, Shu You dies horribly in a foreign land. The moment he transmigrates, Shu You drags a suitcase and loudly curses the male lead, who is trying to make him stay. "You think you're still the young master of the Lin family? No! You're just a broke loser now!" Behind him, the male lead's gaze darkens, his fists clenched. "...So we have to watch our spending! I'm going to sell everything we don't need!" Lin Mingxu: ??? In his previous life, Shu You was known as the stingy dragon. Faced with the original owner's lavish designer bags, high-end clothes, and carat-sized diamond rings, he gives them a deeply pained, reproving look. "These, these, and these... Sell them all!" Only money can give me a true sense of security! Money is all I need! Once the male lead meets the female lead and takes the initiative to break up, Shu You can take his money and happily go back to being a single miser! What Shu You doesn't know is that Lin Mingxu has been reborn. When the weather turns cold, Lin Mingxu admits he can't afford the heating bill, patiently waiting for Shu You to leave of his own accord. Shu You is delighted. "The heating bill is so expensive! Why pay it? We can lie together and share two extra blankets!" When the weather gets hot, a villain comes by to make snide remarks. Lin Mingxu pretends to be helpless, hoping Shu You will leave without a word. Shu You flips the table. "Have you ever heard of the consumerism trap? This is vulgar! How could someone brainwashed by capitalism like you understand?" Lin Mingxu, using an electric blanket for the first time: ... What is this thing? It's way too hot! It's definitely not because he was watching Shu You get a nosebleed! Later, Lin Mingxu finally can't keep up the act. He takes Shu You to the company, hinting that he's no longer broke and Shu You doesn't need to be so frugal. Shu You turns and sees the original female lead, then suddenly understands. "Don't worry, I'll leave right away without making a fuss!" Lin Mingxu: "...Wait. After the meeting, let's go get our marriage certificate." Shu You: "Why? What's wrong with the female lead?" Lin Mingxu: "...She orders four dishes every meal and uses too many tissues." Shu You: ??? ...Wait, didn't you say she was dazzling, generous, and not stingy?! Theme: What matters more in life is the present and the future. How you face them is entirely up to you.
