My Husband Keeps Coming Back from the Dead

[A Wall Street Wolf of a Genius Entrepreneur and His Pampered Trophy Wife]

[Zhong Huai x Zhang Chengyu]

Zhong Huai's marriage was a business alliance. His spouse was a brilliant, ambitious young entrepreneur, handsome but cold in temperament. If they hadn't had sex on the very rare occasions, Zhong Huai might even have thought there was something wrong with him.

They say young prodigies don't live long. When Zhong Huai was twenty-eight, his husband passed away, leaving behind an absolutely enormous fortune and his beautiful wife.

Zhong Huai, now a gorgeous widow and overnight the richest person in the world: Such a thing is possible?!

However, her husband had left behind too much wealth, including a vast business empire. Zhong Huai, who could only paint and knew nothing about management, was forced to shoulder the burden and become the company's new president.

Staring at stacks of reports without understanding a thing, Zhong Huai wondered: Is it still in time to find a Taoist priest to summon my husband's spirit? QAQ.

The beautiful widow was a trophy wife with absolutely no business sense. After enduring a series of commercial attacks, including a sharp drop in the stock price, projects being snatched by competitors, and employees being poached, someone's coffin lid finally couldn't stay shut any longer.

Late at night, the president's office was the only lit room in the pitch-black office building. Zhong Huai wept as he gnawed on a stylus and analyzed reports. A gust of eerie wind blew past behind him.

"You can't even understand this? Are you stupid?"

A cold, stern male voice tinged with helplessness drifted against Zhong Huai's ear.

Zhong Huai whipped around, crying even more sincerely than he had at his husband's funeral.

Zhong Huai: "Honey! If you don't come back to life, our family is going bankrupt! I don't want to pawn my art gallery, sports cars, yacht, private island, and Hermes stuff! Sob!"

The husband, newly awakened from the dead: ...

As expected of his heartless wife from their business marriage. She only cared about whether their assets lived or died.

From that day on, the dead husband began appearing frequently.

When Zhong Huai was trading blows with a competitor at the negotiating table and freaking out because he couldn't win an argument, the paper knife on the table suddenly floated into the air.

Competitor: ???

Zhong Huai: O.O!

When Zhong Huai couldn't understand the technical report for a new product from his secretary and was banging his head against the floor, the comments section on the big screen began typing by itself.

The secretary waiting nearby for a response: ???

Zhong Huai: (catlike smile)

When Zhong Huai was confessed to by the rich second-generation son of the group next door:

Zhong Huai: "But I..."

Before he could finish, a phone rang. The rich young man answered it, turning pale with shock. "What?! My family's company was acquired?! Who did it?"

Zhong Huai: (A sudden, ominous feeling wells up inside him.)

Rich young man: "Xingteng?!"

The rich young man looked at the beautiful widow before him, who was in charge of Xingteng Group: ...!

Rich young man: "Wait, I only wanted to hit on you. Was there really any need to get so angry that you acquired my family's company?!"

Zhong Huai: ...Wait, let me explain. If I say I didn't do it, will you believe me? QAQ

On Zhong Huai's birthday, he received a mysterious package. When he opened it and found a cat-tail maid outfit inside, his husband's presence reached its peak.

Zhong Huai: (A little embarrassed.)

Strange. Ever since her dead husband came back to life, it seemed like she'd unlocked some incredible new trait.

The employees of Xingteng found that the former president's wife, newly appointed as president, had changed her timid little-rabbit ways one day. She was now tough and decisive, as if she had become a completely different person.

The employees, grateful to have kept their jobs and avoided bankruptcy, were moved to tears: Whoever you are, just don't get off the new president!!

Before long, however, a ghost story began circulating among the employees.

People kept seeing the new president talking to thin air in his office, acting coy in front of the mirror, and offering cake to someone invisible, smiling with dazzling elegance.

The horrified, despairing employees: ...?

No, we were only joking when we said that. You're actually doing it?

[A beautiful widow who looks like an icy beauty but spends every day asking her husband for help, acting coquettish, and being sharp-tongued, like a ragdoll cat (the version that goes bankrupt without her husband)]

[A workaholic while alive who develops a teasing-cats side after death, because he's too bored and always looking for something to do]

*Married first, love later + death first, love later (?), the gong will come back to life

*Kindergarten-level corporate warfare, mainly romance. The shou is highly capable in his own field but truly an idiot when it comes to business.

*Before the gong died, the two entered a business marriage and had no love for each other. They were partners sharing a bed and getting what they needed. They only fell in love after his death, because the gong had free time and started dating.
