Widower (Female-Dominated World)

After Ye Zhao's parents died, his unscrupulous relatives married him off to the hunter Chen Daxiang for a high price. He was the renowned beauty of the surrounding villages, and everyone said Chen Daxiang was lucky to have such a handsome husband. But not long after Ye Zhao moved in, his wife died while hunting in the mountains.

Ye Zhao became a widower coveted by women and despised by men as a fox spirit, an ill-starred man who brought death to his wives.

Chen Mingyu was competitive, violent, greedy, and lustful, a good-for-nothing whom everyone hated and avoided. After Chen Daxiang died, she set her sights on the village's young widower. She meant only to have a taste, but once she got hooked, she couldn't pull herself away.

At first, Ye Zhao truly hated Chen Mingyu. He would rather they both die together. Somehow, though, his hatred slowly turned to love.

She brought him firewood and charcoal in winter. She stood up for him when others bullied him. She cared for him when he was sick. She was so overbearing, yet so tender, that he couldn't help getting in too deep.

At last, a beautiful bird with nowhere to perch had found a sturdy tree to shelter beneath.

Ye Zhao: You're not married yet. You shouldn't keep getting involved with a widower like me.

Chen Mingyu: Isn't that perfect? You're a widower, and I'm unmarried. It only makes sense for us to be together. We won't be getting in anyone's way.

The female lead is a real jerk at first, but later falls in love with the male lead and starts working hard to improve herself.

Reading notes: Male pregnancy. Not both protagonists' first time.

Theme: Everyone deserves to be loved
