After Inheriting My Late Husband's Billions

Ji Ling suddenly became fabulously wealthy on his twenty-fourth birthday.

His husband, who had no feelings for him and never came home, only ever gave him money, had died. He left Ji Ling billions in inheritance, with so many zeroes he couldn't even count them.

Ji Ling clutched his phone and started trembling.

Oh my god! The best birthday present in the world!

Thank you, darling! Rest in peace!

Then he threw a lavish funeral, deliberately rubbed onions in his eyes, and dutifully played the part of a helpless, pitiful little widower.

He wept and wailed all day, then laughed in his sleep at night.

Private jet? Buy one!

Luxury yacht? Buy one!

Limited-edition sports car? Buy one!

Beachfront villas, Jiangnan gardens, century-old castles, he bought them all!

After paying, Ji Ling felt refreshed and energized. Even his onion-reddened eyes didn't hurt anymore.

Tan Shiyi was born into a prominent family with tangled relationships. While on a business trip abroad, he was targeted in a carefully planned assassination attempt.

To catch everyone behind it in one fell swoop, he played along, “died” in a foreign land, and sent his trusted assistant home ahead of him to keep things stable and keep an eye on his trophy wife.

Assistant: “Your wife was devastated when she saw your personal effects. She ate two extra bowls of rice that night.”

Tan Shiyi: “...”

Assistant: “Your wife fainted from crying at the memorial hall again. After she woke up, she ordered a plane, two yachts, and ten villas.”

Tan Shiyi: “How many?”

Assistant: “Your wife said the master bedroom was too big and lonely to sleep in alone. Your younger sister sent over six male models in the middle of the night. The note said, ‘One a day, and all together on Sunday. The more, the merrier.’”

Tan Shiyi: “?”

Wait a minute. He has to wear six green hats all at once?!

Unwilling to be cheated on, Tan Shiyi decided to fake his own death in reverse.

He hurried home, expecting Ji Ling to panic. But his beautiful, delicate wife said nothing. He simply picked up a golf club from the corner and walked toward him.

Ji Ling: “I knew the feng shui here was bad. Some evil thing has actually disguised itself as my husband. I'll beat it to death.”

Tan Shiyi: “???”
