I Married a Little Widow Whose Husbands Die Young

Blurb

The eldest son born to a concubine, Jiang Huaiyuan, was seen as a thorn in his stepmother's side from childhood. While his father was away and unable to return home, she had him adopted by the eldest branch of the family as their stepson, despite rumors that its head had died far away.

But before long, his adoptive father not only turned out to be alive, but also returned with imperial honors for his military achievements and a title to inherit. This pushed Jiang Huaiyuan into the spotlight once more.

His stepmother, after hearing some rumor or other, found him a marriage he could not refuse: a distant descendant of the imperial family, a young widow said to bring death to her husbands.

She wanted him to die in a way that looked natural.

On the first day of their marriage, Jiang Huaiyuan shoved his bride aside, saying she was in the way of his sleep.

On the second day, someone nearly took advantage of the bride, and Jiang Huaiyuan wanted to watch the show.

When it was time to consummate the marriage, Jiang Huaiyuan said, "My dear, I don't know the rites of the bedchamber."

The bride replied, "I'll teach you."

Jiang Huaiyuan said, "I... I'm still young..."

A month after the wedding, the bride's family showed up with vicious dogs to punish Jiang Huaiyuan for flirting around outside.

The bride asked, "I hear my husband wants to take a concubine and give the Jiang family an heir?"

Jiang Huaiyuan: "..."

.

Years later, in the grand hall of the State of Quzhao, Jiang Huaiyuan saw Huo Qing, the wife he had lost and yearned for day and night.

The Quzhao empress asked Huo Qing, "Is this your lover from the State of Beijin?"

Huo Qing did not even glance at Jiang Huaiyuan. She bowed and replied, "Yes."
