Pu Lin is young and has never been in a relationship. Her marital status should obviously be listed as [Unmarried].
But she hesitated when updating her information recently...
If you've been widowed several times, what should you put down?
Maybe [Single] really is best.
Thanks to my husbands for being by my side all this time and witnessing the whole process of me becoming a high-level ability user, a rarity in twenty years.
You could say that everything I've achieved today
is all thanks to myself!

The serious version? Synopsis
Twenty years have passed since the "Imaginary Connection Points" descended upon Blue Star, yet ordinary humans still make up the vast majority of the world's population.
Even now, anyone born before the day of the descent has next to no chance of becoming an ability user.
Pu Lin is twenty-two, a non-ability user, or in other words, an ordinary person.
As everyone knows, when a "non-ability user" gets mixed up with an "Imaginary Connection Point," there's a ninety percent chance of death.
Pu Lin doesn't think she'll be an exception.
So on the day she reports to the Peripheral Operations Management Office of the Interconnection Bureau, she comes prepared to arrange her death benefits in advance.
What she doesn't expect is that on her first day as an official employee, she inherits her "late husband's" estate and becomes an ability user.

Interconnection Object B0725, [The Widow's Self-Reliance], was discovered by ability user Pu Meiyun (status: missing) and sealed in Warehouse 404 of the Interconnection Bureau.
Latest record: Interconnection Object 00725 has gone missing!!!
Note:
My own near-future setting. It should feel as though not much time has passed between its era and ours.
Although the heroine is pretty, she isn't stunningly beautiful or universally adored.
There is more than one "late husband," and they aren't all human.
Although there are many "late husbands," only one becomes the main love interest (this isn't a love-interest contest).
Theme: Stay true to yourself and work hard.
