Boss, You Died So Tragically

I heard the head of the Huzhou clan died young, leaving behind a beautiful, cold widow.

Possessive and cold-hearted, 1v1, both virgins, fake replacement

[Shen Cangshu]

Twenty-seven-year-old Shen Cangshu came from a rough background and was a rowdy rogue. She earned the title of deputy general through her strength and military accomplishments, becoming the talk of the town for a while.

That was, until she strutted through a crowded street and happened to catch sight of the widow the head of the clan had left behind.

...She was truly a beautiful, cold mistress, a delicacy that made one's mouth water.

[Hu Fu]

Hu Fu's beloved, the head of the Huzhou clan, was ambushed, fell off a cliff, and vanished without a trace.

From then on, she was alone, holding up the sky over the Five Provinces from her lofty seat and forever remembering the lover with whom she had shared a deep bond.

Three years after her beloved's death, Hu Fu saw the dead man again. Smiling, the person greeted her and said, "Greetings, Madam."

Her trusted aide explained that this was the person newly selected for her.

Shen Cangshu became Madam's bedmate willingly and with all her heart. She was so pleased with herself that she wanted the whole world to know what a great bargain she'd gotten.

Until she realized that the late head of the clan had the same face as her.

Shen Cangshu went mad, determined to drive that person out of Hu Fu's heart.

Hu Fu: (pulls her back by the leash with a cool expression) (placates her with a few casual words)

A story written to indulge my tastes. The prose isn't period-accurate, and both leads are a little messed up. Expected length: 50,000 words (yay!)

Theme: Love is not a chain.
