Reborn as a Handsome Widower

When Yu Tang transmigrates into a book, her husband has been murdered, her parents-in-law are gravely ill, and her flirtatious predecessor has just beaten up her young brother-in-law, stolen all of her husband's family's property, and prepared to remarry someone else.

But the brother-in-law is the protagonist of the book: a poor farm boy who will grow into a ruthless, power-hungry minister. Yu Tang's fate is to be run through with his sword.

Yu Tang acts at once, returning to her husband's family with even more money and setting about making amends for her predecessor's wrongs.

"I hit you, but it hurt your sister-in-law. It was all a misunderstanding!"

"Your elder sister-in-law is as good as your father. I'll sell everything I own to send you to the finest school!"

Yu Tang has it all worked out. She needs to cling to the protagonist, treat him as well as she possibly can, and then, once he makes it big, ride his coattails to success. She'll move to the capital, live in luxury, find herself a handsome young man, and enjoy a carefree life.

To give Xu Zhiwei the best possible environment for his studies, Yu Tang sets up a stall, sells delicious food, and earns a living for the family.

Mala tang, oden, chicken wings stuffed with rice... One popular snack shop after another opens, spreading from the countryside all the way to the capital. Yu Tang becomes a widely adored widowed ger.

Later, Xu Zhiwei makes a name for himself and becomes the youngest chief councilor. Yu Tang lays down his burdens and begins the carefree life he has long awaited.

Yu Tang only wants to find love, but handsome young men keep coming to propose. And the little brat he's already trained suddenly picks up his sword again?

"Sister-in-law, they can't even beat me. What makes them think they can marry you?"

Yu Tang: "They have to beat you to marry me? At this rate, I'll be a widow my whole life!"

Later still, Xu Zhiwei issues an order, sending every influential young man who has proposed to Yu Tang to the Temple for the Protection of the Nation to chant sutras and pray for blessings.

Yu Tang: "What are you going crazy about now?"

Xu Zhiwei pins him against the doorway, his face dark and his eyes full of restraint. "Once you enter the Xu family, you'll belong to the Xu family for the rest of your life!"
