The Wayward Married Woman

Yu Yi's world changed completely after her husband, Li Yao, died. At Li Yao's funeral, his former military academy classmates, business partners, and old comrades all came to pay their respects. Perhaps they also wanted to see the civilian beta he had married even at the cost of leaving his family. These Alphas left behind more than flowers and condolences. They also left private addresses, money, and the warmth of their bodies when they touched her shoulder. On one side was their relentless pursuit of her; on the other was the hollow, despairing life Li Yao had left her with. One rainy night, Yu Yi opened the door and smiled at the Alpha standing outside. It didn't matter anymore. She just wanted someone to exhaust her so thoroughly that she wouldn't have nightmares tonight. Anyone could get into her bed, but no one could make her want to go on living. Only after the battle ended did Li Ye learn that his older brother had died several months earlier. He hurried back, but was delayed at a transit spaceport for some reason, where he ran into a few old friends and acquaintances. He heard that a mysterious, wanton beta had appeared in their circle and had recently become close with those old friends. Li Ye couldn't understand what was so captivating about a beta, until he met a drunk female beta at the spaceport. She was beautiful and exhausted, listless yet unguarded. Her heavily made-up face changed the instant she saw Li Ye. When the woman suddenly made advances toward him, Li Ye rejected and humiliated her with an expression of disgust. She seemed to sober up quickly, too, and hurried away. It wasn't until Li Ye returned to the family home that he learned this beta was the wife his brother had entrusted to him on his deathbed, and the childhood friend he had secretly loved before he presented, who had grown up alongside his brother. A stunning, listless widow with a heart turned to ash VS a gloomy man who swallows his pain and only dares to play the part of a happy puppy * A melodramatic story, written to indulge the author's tastes, ultimately 1v1. It may unintentionally hit a lot of people's squicks, so read with caution. Theme: Cherish life
