So Many Gentlemen at a Widow's Door

Tianshui Alley has a street of widows. As the name suggests, all kinds of widows live there. Yu Caiwei's husband died unexpectedly soon after they married, and she moved to Widow Street, becoming one of its residents.

Widows have always been the subject of gossip, so to keep the peace, Yu Caiwei decided to find someone she could rely on for the time being.

After looking around, she set her sights on the most handsome and wealthiest gentleman.

After Li Xihe's mourning period ended, his marriage prospects still remained unsettled. As the richest man in Yuncheng, he soon found himself the subject of all kinds of rumors. To silence the gossip and spare himself the trouble, he decided to find someone to put on appearances with.

So when the young, beautiful widow offered him an olive branch, he accepted.

Li Xihe knew full well that they were only using one another. So one day, when he saw affection unconsciously show in Yu Caiwei's eyes, he smiled and reminded her coolly and calmly, "You've crossed the line."

The light in Yu Caiwei's eyes dimmed at once. She lowered her gaze and gave a quiet "Oh." When she looked up again, she was smiling brightly. "I understand. Don't worry, it won't happen again."

Li Xihe breathed a sigh of relief. He and Yu Caiwei got along sweetly and effortlessly, and he did not want their relationship to end so soon.

He never imagined that this moment would later become his greatest regret.

Widows have always been the subject of gossip, and there are plenty of eligible young gentlemen, too. After an argument with Li Xihe, Yu Caiwei decided to find someone else, someone more obedient.

Li Xihe's face turned livid, and for once he looked utterly flustered. "I thought our agreement hadn't expired yet."

"Don't put all your eggs in one basket," Yu Caiwei said with a smile. "You taught me that. Have you forgotten?"
