A Beautiful Widower's Guide to Self-Rescue (Women Rule)

Xin Mian was the illegitimate child of a fallen marquis's household, with no place in polite society. He was beautiful and ill-tempered. To get his hands on money, the head of the household secretly promised him in marriage as a second spouse to a sickly man, to bring him good fortune.

On the very day of the wedding, the sickly man died. The one brought in to bring good fortune became a husband who brought death to his wife, and he nearly got buried alive alongside him.

Xin Mian had just married into the household and was now a widower, with a frail seven-year-old boy to care for. His situation was dire, he had no money to live on, and anyone in the household could bully him.

Boldly, Xin Mian set out to seduce the young, promising, and healthy head of the household: his nominal wife's younger sister.

Everything went smoothly. When Xin Mian was pinned against a window, half his body hanging out, and kissed until he was weak all over, he caught sight of his stepson hiding in a cabinet out of the corner of his eye.

Xin Mian trembled from head to toe, unable to move under her hold, and immediately began to regret getting involved.

Later, he discovered that the head of the household, who seemed gentle and refined on the surface, was no good at all. She was one way to his face and another behind his back, suspicious by nature, and always asking whether he really loved her.

That night.

He was reclining on a cushioned couch. When he saw her enter, he went pale with alarm, afraid someone would find out that a woman had come into his room.

She wrapped an arm around his waist and pinned him to the couch. The woman's sinister voice came from beside his ear. “I heard you went out today?”

Xin Mian stiffened, too frightened to move. His collar hung slightly open, and his chest rose and fell violently.

He placated her with a kiss at the corner of her lips, the corners of his eyes red. “Next time, I'll come to your room, okay?”

Xin Mian regretted seducing the woman on top of him.
