Inheriting My Late Husband's Estate [ABO]

Charlotte is a dirt-poor beta from a junk planet. By a twist of fate, she manages to seduce a handsome, wealthy alpha.

However, not long after they marry, he dies.

Charlotte knows she should be sad, but she can't stop the corners of her mouth from turning up.

Because she's about to inherit all of her dead husband's estate.

The three greatest joys in life: getting promoted, getting rich, and your husband dying.

She's already got the last two. As for getting promoted... What kind of promotion could she get in this godforsaken place?

Of course she's going to the capital planet to buy a mansion, keep a pretty boy, and live a life of luxury and excess!

But before she can enjoy herself for long, she receives devastating news:

Her husband was the heir to a powerful family,

and his three younger alpha brothers are all eyeing his enormous estate.

Looking at the three men at her door, each breathtakingly handsome and dressed in military uniforms, with upside-down-triangle builds and doglike waists, each probably strong enough to crush her with one hand,

and seeing the amused looks in their eyes as they size her up,

Charlotte swallows hard:

Hey, ex-hubby... Could you fake your death and climb out of that coffin?

Your brothers are plotting something against their sister-in-law... No, wait, they're trying to steal the inheritance!!!

*

"Open up, sister-in-law. You can't hide forever."

"Under Article 488 of the Interstellar Property Law, if the eldest son with inheritance rights has no heirs, all his property will be disposed of by the family."

"You don't want to be charged with 'illegally misappropriating property' and end up serving time in a Federation prison, do you?"

The brothers' cold, malicious voices keep ringing out, making Charlotte, who got rich overnight, feel a pang in her heart:

Damn it, her fortune and riches!

As she frets over why she didn't preserve her ex-husband's frozen genetic material so she could have a baby,

she hears a devilish whisper:

"But... if I can get sister-in-law pregnant, then my brother's inheritance will be mine, right?"

Charlotte: ?!!! (eyes wide with shock)

She's a beta without pheromones, an ordinary person with no heat cycle!

Aren't these damn picky alphas supposed to marry only omegas? How can they bring themselves to do that?

Please read before starting:

1. A heavily reworked ABO world with many original settings. The female lead's beta identity has a hidden backstory related to the worldbuilding, which cannot be revealed without spoilers.

2. The female lead has no prior sexual experience, and all male leads are virgins. A Mary Sue melodrama. Read with caution if that's not your thing.

3. The female lead starts out as an ordinary person. She may seem weak, pitiful, innocent, and simple, but she's actually no good. Readers who are moral guardians, beware.

4. There are many possible routes, so don't pick sides too soon. Just enjoy the journey.
