Can I Inherit My Husband's Estate Today?

[Ongoing novel: Has My Medicine-Jar Husband Died Yet Today?]

Jiang Qingbo transmigrated as a short-lived cannon-fodder character.

The original character was the male lead's betrothed, promised to him by their parents before they were born. Later, when the male and female leads fell in love, he broke off the engagement. The original character was so devastated that she shut herself away.

Then the Retired Emperor suddenly decreed a marriage. The groom was the male lead's uncle, Lu Mingzhou, the powerful Left Commander of the Imperial Guard. A workaholic who loved pulling all-nighters and hated going home, he was a short-lived villain in the novel.

The original character was neglected for years and eventually died of grief after Lu Mingzhou worked himself to death.

Jiang Qingbo, a salty fish: ???

Shut herself away? Died of grief?

Wouldn't it be better to lie flat and inherit his fortune?

After getting married, Jiang Qingbo lay flat and enjoyed the blissful life of a husband who never came home. She only had to wait for him to meet the King of Hell, then inherit his enormous fortune. But before long, Lu Mingzhou, who used to come home once a month, began showing up every few days. Eventually, he came home every day to eat with her.

Jiang Qingbo was forced to get up early every day and grew tired of dealing with him. But then she remembered that Lu Mingzhou was short-lived, and that she'd inherit a huge fortune one day. She put up with it.

Day after day, year after year,

Lu Mingzhou could fight a tiger with his bare hands and draw his sword to take down criminals.

Jiang Qingbo: ??? Can I inherit the fortune yet?

A little extra:

Before his wedding, Lu Mingzhou was the greatest workaholic in the Great Wei Dynasty. He not only made other officials work overtime with him, but often forced the Emperor to work late into the night, too.

Emperor: "My dear subject, the affairs of state are important, but so is your health."

Lu Mingzhou: "Your Majesty, the affairs of state concern the lives of millions. They cannot wait."

Emperor: ...

After getting married, Lu Mingzhou started leaving work on time and refused to work overtime unless absolutely necessary.

The Emperor teased him: "My dear subject, the affairs of state concern the lives of millions. They can't wait!"

Lu Mingzhou: "The affairs of state are important, but only good health will let us bring more blessings to the people of the realm."

Emperor: ...

You never used to say that!

#The Great Wei Dynasty's champion overworker became its champion anti-overworker#

#Working overtime is out of the question. I won't be doing it for the rest of my life#

P.S.:

1. The heroine is the most beautiful woman in the novel, but temporarily becomes ugly for a reason of her own choosing. Her beauty returns in Chapter 22.

2. This is a fictional setting, very fictional.

3. Half plot, half romance.

Ongoing novel: Has My Medicine-Jar Husband Died Yet Today?

Xiao Yi transmigrates as a general's wife.

But she transmigrates at the wrong time. She has become a condemned criminal's family member and is being exiled to the City of the Condemned to serve a hard-labor sentence. Her husband is a medicine jar, weakened by poison he suffered on the battlefield.

Xiao Yi, after transmigrating: She's still alive? What a bargain!

-

Xie Changzhou became famous at a young age and earned countless military merits. He was the youngest general in the Xia Dynasty and a God of War feared by enemy nations.

A letter from an enemy country exposed the truth, and the celebrated God of War fell from grace and became a condemned criminal.

To fool his enemies and clear his name, Xie Changzhou concealed his strength. From then on, he kept medicine close at hand and pretended to be a sickly weakling.

But he needed someone to act as cover.

Just then, his wife Xiao Yi hit her head and lost her memory.

He had been forced to marry Xiao Yi. In three years of marriage, they'd only met twice, and their relationship had been cold as ice.

After Xiao Yi fell and lost her memories, her attitude changed completely. She fussed over him, stayed by his side, and remained devoted to him.

Xie Changzhou: She's the perfect person to play the part.

At first, Xie Changzhou was half-hearted in his performance as a loving husband.

But after Xiao Yi risked her life to save him again and again, he became more and more invested, until he finally fell for her.

Being a genuinely loving couple wasn't so bad, after all.

One day, Xiao Yi knelt on the ground and demanded answers from the Bodhisattva.

"You said my husband's life would last only a year. Why hasn't he died yet?"

Xie Changzhou, about to come in and hand her a cloak: ???

That night, Xie Changzhou heard Xiao Yi mumbling in her sleep. She was imagining the happy life she'd have after he died, and planned to use his money to keep eighteen handsome young men.

Xie Changzhou: ...???

#This life, I have to live to a hundred. Not a day less#

#I'm not even dead yet, and my wife has already planned to keep eighteen men and put horns on my head#

#Who are those eighteen young men? I'll kill them in advance#

Theme: Live positively and refuse to bow to fate.
