I Won't Be My Widowed Sister-in-Law Anymore

Mystery and crime solving | Male rivals fighting over the heroine | Dramatic love triangle | Stage-by-stage 1v1

A suspense romance of the same type, The Rich Wife's Afternoon Tea Mystery Hour, is currently being serialized!

At a young age, Ji Yao experienced the three great joys of life: promotion, fortune, and her husband's death.

Her husband died suddenly, leaving her a male courtesan house. The top courtesan, Du Zhong, led the staff in opposing her. On her very first day as manager, he saw through her disguise as a man and threatened her in a corner.

"Sister-in-law, this isn't a place you should be."

Then she discovered that her late husband had left her not only a huge inheritance, but also four handsome younger brothers.

What was she to do? She could either take good care of them or let them take good care of her.

Who knew that, as time went on, the way they looked at her would grow increasingly strange?

Sometimes Ji Yao thought that, since she was a widow, there was no harm in enjoying herself a little. Other than their differing preferences for where to do it, they got along quite harmoniously.

Until the man who looked exactly like her late husband appeared.

He Lianchen got into trouble and faked his death, abandoning his beautiful new wife to escape disaster. Once the danger had passed, he secretly climbed onto the roof of the male courtesan house on the anniversary of his death, hoping to see his darling wife.

But when he climbed up to the second floor under cover of night, a man's voice came from a room, sounding as if he were praying: "Master, may you rest in peace. Your disciple will take good care of your wife."

He Lianchen: "?"

He climbed up to the third floor, where someone in a room swore: "Don't worry, big brother. Your sister-in-law is with me now. You can rest easy."

He Lianchen: "!?"

#Hello, I've come to have an affair with you

Reader's Guide:

1. The male lead is the top courtesan. Everyone is pure; the male courtesans sell their talents, not their bodies. The heroine has a series of 1v1 relationships and won't only date one person.

2. Episodic mysteries and strange ghost stories. Romance and plot are evenly balanced.

3. I drew the cover myself. The heroine isn't an ordinary mortal. Her memories and abilities gradually return, and she is the strongest character in the whole novel.

| All-female detective team | Each has a love interest | The husbands are all just side characters

#Silk-and-gold velvet qipaos, tailored to fit, filled the wardrobe. The butter scones at the Dong Shuiwei Road Grand Hotel had become tiresome from overindulgence.

Song Fangsheng was the beloved daughter of a diplomat. Her father's friends praised her as "the most beautiful pearl in the Far East." To preserve her lavish, indulgent high-society lifestyle, she followed her father's arrangements and married Gu Junsheng, the police chief, whom she had never met. Her husband, with whom she had no love, was rarely home, so Fangsheng often invited people over for afternoon tea in their enormous mansion.

Ye Qiurong was a gold-digger in every sense of the word. She fought tooth and nail, beating countless actresses and socialites in Shanghai's elite circles, to marry into the Duan family, headed by the chairman of China's number-one chamber of commerce. Her husband, Duan Chengen, was thirty-two, thirteen years older than her, and doted on the young beauty without limit. She didn't have to do anything but sleep.

Shen Liman had just lost her husband. Her three-year-old son was left in her mother-in-law's care, while she spent her days riding in cars to Shanghai's theaters to listen to "Evening Primrose" and drink coffee at Maxim's, wandering among the dancing and music beneath the neon lights.

But even when the sunlight poured over Shanghai and lit every corner, it couldn't illuminate the vengeful ghosts who had died in the shadows.

One day, the three rich wives gathered after finding a greeting letter written by someone who had been dead for ten years. The vivid crimson wax seal on the envelope, stamped with a flower of late-blooming camellias, glimmered faintly silver.

"Since we have nothing better to do, why don't we open it and take a look?"

Reader's Guide:

1. The three heroines get equal page time, though the story is told more often from Song Fangsheng's perspective.

2. The husbands don't appear often, and each couple has a different romance. Some fall in love after marriage, some have been plotting for a long time, and some involve various styles of dog training.

Theme: Let love fill your heart and light shine in your eyes.
