The Devoted Widower's Downfall [Ancient-Era ABO]

Ancient ABO / Stress-Relieving Sweet Treat

-

Omega Shen Yanting transmigrates into the body of a widowed princess consort in some dynasty, and life is pretty carefree.

What a sweet deal. In the book, her husband is a prince who kicks the bucket before even lifting the bridal veil, leaving behind a pile of inheritances.

But the System thinks marrying a husband and settling down is the proper path for a Kun Jun, and is determined to find Shen Yanting a new spouse.

Shen Yanting: Heh.

System: The Crown Prince is destined to be emperor and will live a long life. Marrying him will surely clear your name as a husband-killer. Mission: Win the Crown Prince's sympathy.

Shen Yanting: Oh.

He kneels outside the Eastern Palace: I'm so pitiful. There's barely enough food in my household, boo-hoo.

The Crown Prince is startled. It wouldn't look good to mistreat his late brother's widow, so he hurriedly sends over gold and silver. Shen Yanting is delighted, wipes away a tear, thanks him, and leaves.

System: .

As for the Crown Prince, he thinks back on the tearful beauty beneath the steps and ponders.

System: The unmarried fiancee of the Marquis of Zhen Ding died ten years ago, and he has never taken a wife. Such devotion makes him a fine match. Mission: Go chat with the Marquis of Zhen Ding.

Shen Yanting: Oh.

He sits down at the marquis's manor: Let's chat. What was your late wife like?

The Marquis of Zhen Ding pauses: She was beautiful...

Shen Yanting: Oh. My husband was so ugly. Well, that's enough chatting. Goodbye.

System: .

As for the marquis, suddenly he really does want to talk about the past.

Shen Yanting's attitude: If a Qian Jun is rich and good-looking, I'll flirt for fun, but marriage is off the table.

A few months later, Li Rong returns after faking his death. Hearing that his princess consort has been waiting faithfully at the manor, he feels both guilty and moved:

"Yanting, you've been so devoted to me. I promise I'll treat you well."

"Uh..."

Shen Yanting is horrified. Weren't they supposed to be a widow and a widower?

The Crown Prince's token is still by his pillow, and the Marquis of Zhen Ding's love letters are still in his treasure cabinet... He hasn't even had time to put them away!

#Li Rong (gritting his teeth) (wants to punish him but can't bear to): I hear you've been telling everyone I'm poor and ugly?

#Yanting: Um, let me explain...

Flirtatious, easygoing, and a little scummy bottom vs. a brooding, tsundere, jealous top who talks himself into everything
