He Weeps for His Late Husband, and He's Dedicated to His Role

In her first year after transmigrating into a book, Tao Qing married Xie Mian, the book's top tycoon and head of the Xie family.

But in the second year, Xie Mian died of illness.

Suddenly widowed, Tao Qing was frail and sickly, with a face so lovely that every glance seemed to invite affection. Alone beside the coffin, surrounded by a vast inheritance, he was heartbroken and helpless.

Late at night, whenever he saw the countless zeros in his Alipay balance, tears rolled down his cheeks, leaving the tip of his nose damp and flushed.

At last, the male lead, who had secretly coveted him and treated him as his idealized first love, revealed his true colors. Every day, he schemed to steal his rival's spouse.

Tao Qing had never had to deal with a cheating spouse before. As he burned incense for his husband, his hand trembled slightly.

Then one day...

The new gardener in the garden handed him a thornless rose. When Tao Qing was bored, he built him a new swing. When Tao Qing couldn't sleep during his nap, he quietly fanned him...

When Tao Qing turned around, the gardener picked up the handkerchief he'd thrown away and hid it against his chest.

His gaze was as deep as the ocean, restrained yet burning with passion.

The original male lead inexplicably broke his leg and stopped coming around. Tao Qing sighed in relief. After burning incense for Xie Mian again, he turned and caught sight of the gardener, who had his head bowed in deference but looked so handsome he seemed almost otherworldly. Tao Qing immediately turned away.

You don't know what you don't know. But once you find out, it can be a shock. How could this gardener's face, speech, and every gesture be so much like her husband?

Tao Qing: Good thing I didn't cheat on him back then. QAQ

Marriage first, love later. Not a horror story.
