The Widowed Snake Husband Is Too Seductive [Matriarchy]

An 80% subscription rate unlocks bonus chapters Blurb One winter day, Jiang Qingxiao found a little green snake frozen stiff outside her home. Taking pity on it, she casually tossed it into a nearby pile of grain. To her surprise, the next morning she found a naked young man lying in the grain. He was stunningly beautiful, but his eyes were innocent and clear. He was also completely unguarded around matters between men and women, and terribly clingy. Jiang Qingxiao tried to send him away several times, but never succeeded. One night after drinking, Jiang Qingxiao found the young man naked once again, fast asleep with his head against her chest. At her wits' end, she had no choice but to marry him and bring him home as her husband. Liu Jingjue had once been a weak little snake demon. When he was transforming into human form, he was attacked by his natural enemy and only survived thanks to a mortal woman who rescued him. That woman was gentle and kind. Before he knew it, Liu Jingjue had fallen for her. After employing a few schemes, he finally got his wish and married her. After they wed, his wife doted on him even more. Even when she discovered he wasn't human, she accepted it without a fuss and loved him just as before. Liu Jingjue thought they could live happily together forever, but in the second year of their marriage, she took a fatal blow from his enemy in his place and died in his arms. At the time, Liu Jingjue had not yet had the chance to tell her he was pregnant. For the three hundred years he raised their daughter alone, every moment without Jiang Qingxiao was agony for Liu Jingjue. He tried countless times to summon her spirit, but never succeeded. After enduring three hundred years like a walking corpse, Liu Jingjue was physically and mentally exhausted. All he wanted was to find release as soon as his daughter came of age. Then one day, Liu Jingjue was astonished to discover that the lofty and untouchable War God Jinglan, high above in the Ninth Heaven, looked exactly like his late wife. Everyone across the Three Realms knew that You Che, the Heavenly Emperor's son, had been infatuated with War God Jinglan for a long time. A hundred years ago, he finally got his wish and became engaged to her. Now their wedding was fast approaching. So how could he win her back? P.S. The story will include: a man seducing a woman, faking his death, a reunion after a long separation, rekindled love, and widower romance, among other things. The blurb has been screenshotted, and I'll continue refining it over time. Note: One-on-one, happy ending, both leads' first times. This is a traditional matriarchal romance, not a gender-swapped take on gender equality. If you like to reverse the roles and put yourself in the other person's shoes, I'm begging you, please don't read or buy this. Let's avoid hurting each other and let everyone be happy! Content warnings: 1. Male pregnancy. The lovestruck male lead wants a child mainly to deepen his bond with the female lead. The child is somewhat of a plot device, so please don't read if that bothers you. 2. The mortal female lead's characterization is as stated, so there will be plenty of scenes where she pampers him and they dote on each other. The male lead is a snake demon, and his original form will appear in the story, so please don't read if that bothers you. 3. The War God female lead will be very different from the mortal female lead early on. Please don't read if that bothers you. 4. The female lead has some flaws and a bit of a universal-admirer quality. The male lead is possessive and vengeful. Neither is a perfect character, so please don't read if that bothers you. 5. This story has many original world-building elements and is set in a fictional dynasty. The plot may be outrageous. If you don't like it, just leave; please don't nitpick the details. No comparison posts, please. 6. If any part of the story makes you uncomfortable, please leave right away to avoid further distress. There are countless great stories on Jinjiang; if this one isn't for you, choose another. Enjoy your reading and live happily. 7. This is a self-indulgent work. Please don't make sweeping judgments based on it; the characters' values do not represent the author's. 8. Please leave comments kindly and help create a pleasant reading environment. False content warnings, troublemaking, fighting, and abuse directed at the author or readers will all be deleted. 9. You don't need to announce that you're dropping the story. Maybe we'll meet again in another one. Theme: Hold on until the clouds part and the moon shines through.
