The Widowed Male Lead's Short-Lived Ex-Wife (Female-Dominated World)

If you read pirated copies, don't come here. Piracy is not welcome.

My new novel, Phoenix Girl's Guide to Getting Ahead, is complete. Click on the author's page to read it.

Chen Lan worked diligently, only to die from overwork and transmigrate into a restricted matriarchal novel she had read.

After confirming who she was:

Her mother was the prime minister, The Outcast, second only to the emperor and above all others.

Her father was the elder brother of the current Northwest Commander-in-Chief.

Her older sister was a fourth-rank prefect at the age of only twenty-three.

Her older brother was the powerful consort who ruled the imperial harem alongside the empress consort.

Wouldn't you say this family was powerful enough to dominate the court?

As for their inevitable downfall, wasn't that the fate of every powerful minister?

When the sky fell, her mother, father, sister, and brother wouldn't be able to help. What could a little wastrel like Chen Lan possibly do to change things?

She'd be better off taking advantage of her wealth and power now and choosing to lie flat!

But just two days later, after the beautiful, charming widower male lead married into her family, Chen Lan failed to hold on to her single-dog status and broke her vow of chastity. What was she supposed to do? Her adorable secondary husband was so beautiful that she couldn't bear to let him remain a widower and marry someone else! So Chen Lan chose the solution every small-town exam ace would choose: she sheepishly slung on her schoolbag and went back to school.

Only after starting school did she discover she was studying engineering.

Only after studying for a long time did she realize that getting a minor official's post was comparable to taking the civil service exam in her previous life.

Why is every step on the path to success such an obstacle!!!!

Chen Lan could only study while clinging to her adorable secondary husband and breathing in his immortal aura, just barely managing to keep striving.

Chen Lan, lost in a sea of books, had no idea that two souls lived inside her beautiful husband.

One was sharp-tongued, gloomy, and caustic: "You read all those books, but does your wife discuss poetry and prose with you, or lecture you on the classics and histories?"

The other put love above everything and would die without his wife: "So what? You know the Four Books and Five Classics by heart, but you still can't take care of yourself, can you?"

A former humanities ace who now studies engineering to become a minor official VS a stunning male lead who is a true love-struck fool, in public and in private

Warnings:

Male pregnancy, male pregnancy, male pregnancy!!!!

The male lead will give birth in the main story!!!

The male lead will be put through hardship from time to time. The author can't write without making him suffer.

Major warnings:

1. Half of the male lead's soul comes from his previous life, in which he was not sexually inexperienced. The female lead is a materialist with a higher education and does not look down on him for not being sexually inexperienced in his previous life.

2. In the bonus chapter "Doting on the Boys Without Limit," the female lead promises to split the family fortune equally, though she doesn't actually do so in a later bonus chapter.

Theme: Stand on your own and strive to improve.
