The Wicked Widower Everyone Covets

The year her husband died, Guan Xuwu was only twenty-one, and the biggest laughingstock in the entire capital.

Born into the Guan family but switched at birth, she was a fake young master who had enjoyed every advantage, only to differentiate as the lowest-ranked E-level Guide. Vain and ambitious, she abandoned her poor childhood sweetheart, went fishing for a rich man in high society, climbed into his bed, and married him. Less than two months later, however, her husband died in the war.

"Wicked people always get what they deserve."

At the funeral, the people of the capital laughed at Guan Xuwu to her face. "Now that General Yan is dead, those three are going to tear him apart."

Someone who didn't know the story asked who the three were.

"You have to ask?" Everyone pointed to the three top-tier S-class Sentinels standing behind Guan Xuwu.

There stood the highest-ranking commander of the Clock Tower, the poor childhood sweetheart Guan Xuwu had abandoned;

the head of the Noble Council, the powerful young master whose feelings Guan Xuwu had toyed with;

and the strongest Sentinel on the battlefield, the true young master of the Guan family, who had been stranded in the border's raging waters for ten years because of Guan Xuwu.

The three stood silently in the rain, watching Guan Xuwu prostrate himself before the tombstone.

Their hungry gazes moved

from his long legs and slender waist, outlined by his mourning clothes,

to his snow-white neck

and his vivid red lips.

1. This isn't a story where readers pick a love interest. It's about a pack of mad dogs battling for the crown of top pursuer. Each man has his own phase of involvement with the recipient, but in the end, the recipient ends up with no one. Every one of his relationships puts personal gain first.

2. The recipient deceives every love interest terribly, and they willingly let him do it.

3. A wish-fulfillment story about a love con artist who rises from a low-ranking Guide to the pinnacle of power. The recipient appears to be an E-level Guide, but is actually S-level.

4. I'll add more if I think of anything...

Theme: Love makes people throw caution to the wind.
