Xia Baoqing had barely married into a wealthy family when her husband died.
Her in-laws had no shortage of tricks up their sleeves. She knew she was no match for them, and feared the enormous inheritance would slip through her fingers.
Xia Baoqing cried until her eyes were swollen, until her best friend sent her some explosive gossip: a certain European nobleman of mixed heritage was about to return home.
Thinking of his sculpted, flawless face and inherited title, Xia Baoqing silently wiped away her tears and brought out a brazier to burn paper money for her dead husband.
"Hubby, it's not that I want to, but you did just up and die on me. I know you're the most understanding person in the world. We have to look ahead, right?"
A few days later, Xia Baoqing attended the welcome banquet for the nobleman, radiant and stunning everyone in the room.
Just as she was about to bring her new husband home, she suddenly realized she had far more choices than she'd imagined:
The elegant tech upstart, the refined and steady energy tycoon, the distinguished liquor magnate, the eloquent media mogul, the romantic and passionate luxury-brand founder...
And then there was the handsome tycoon from Hong Kong Island. His parents were both dead, and he had no siblings, so surely no one would fight her for the inheritance.
Xia Baoqing chatted happily with several excellent candidates, but went home full of indecision.
That night, she lit the brazier again. She'd meant to comfort her late husband's spirit, but as she went on talking, she somehow got sidetracked:
"The nobleman is so handsome he looks like a character model, and the tech upstart is 188 centimeters tall with abs... Oh, they're all great. Hubby, which one should I pick?"
As soon as she finished speaking, a cold gust of wind swept through the room. Xia Baoqing suddenly felt someone poke her forehead several times, hard.
Then her dead husband's voice rang in her ear, cursing her furiously: "Xia Baoqing! I've only been dead for two months, and you're already thinking of remarrying?!"
