After the Chaste Widower Kicked Me Out (Matriarchal Society)

Meng Landong was born into a distinguished family, blessed with a face as flawless as jade and a graceful, alluring figure. He was also gentle and sensible, dutiful to his elders, and had been raised from childhood to wait for a good match. On his wedding day, a lavish bridal procession stretched for miles, its splendor unmatched. But halfway along the route, news came that his wife-to-be had died. In an instant, a wedding became a funeral. The noble family's new groom was branded a jinxed widower and abandoned in the wilderness. His wife's family wouldn't keep him, and his own family wouldn't take him back, so he had no choice but to live in seclusion on a mountain. Meng Landong accepted his fate, his heart as still as dead water. That is, until one day, after years of widowhood, he found an injured woman by the roadside and took her home. Di Xiao was young, handsome, and full of life. Her skin was hot to the touch as he bandaged her wounds. He hurried to the river with her dirty clothes to wash them, his face flushed and his heart racing. He couldn't wait to soak and scrub the clothes. But as he washed them, watching his fingers press into the damp fabric, how had the clear, cool water suddenly turned murky? Why did the soft, wet clothes seem to curl around his fingers? It was as if he were sinking into them. When he came to his senses, he couldn't pull himself free. He couldn't wash these clothes anymore. They were going to burn his fingers. Yet that very night, while bathing, he knew she was just beyond the trees, but still shamelessly strolled into the river, showing off his hardness as he touched himself beneath the moon. After their desperate tryst, he panicked. Grasping for an excuse to regain his composure, he sent her away, wanting them both to have some time alone. But she was his first woman. How could she really turn and leave him there alone, stuck on the mountain to endure one long night after another? * Wounded while seeking revenge, she was saved by a gentle widower. Seeing Meng Landong struggling with his loneliness, Di Xiao decided to repay his kindness by loosening the seal on his chastity monument. But before dawn, the widower drove her out of his home. She fell off a cliff, only to be lucky enough to be rescued by another handsome young man... The world below the mountain was a dazzling place, full of temptations. Every glance brought another entanglement, and every step led deeper into a battleground of love. Once she entered the official world, she thrived and rose swiftly through the ranks. Years later, when she happened to meet Meng Landong again, why was he looking at her and the people around her with such a resentful gaze? Note: 1. The heroine is irresistible to all, with a battle of suitors and a darkly twisted romance. 2. The heroine and most of the male supporting characters have lower-than-average moral standards and love crawling through the shadows. 3. The heroine is sexually inexperienced, while all the men are experienced. This is not a strong female lead or female-empowerment story. 4. In this setting, women with typical female physical traits hold higher status. The heroine is not tall or muscular, and this is not a typical Jinjiang-style story. 5. The story has many original worldbuilding details that may differ from traditional matriarchal settings. Please don't nitpick the forms of address, official titles, customs, or other details.
