A Handsome Widower Who Just Lost His Husband

(Check out my other works, "Apocalypse Survival: The Little Mushroom Who Picks Up Trash" and "Rococo's Magical Tailor Shop")

[The poor widowed husband has just lost his spouse and is forced to take over his late husband's countless shops and businesses, endless acres of fertile farmland, and mountains of gold, silver, and precious treasures. From then on, he lives out the rest of his days in a lavish manor, waited on by handsome servants...]

[, The End!]

Hua Xianxue transmigrated into a book, becoming a timid, soft-hearted husband whom his father didn't love and his mother didn't care for, and who was sent off to marry a dead man in a ghost wedding.

The isolated little village believes that "losing your husband means losing your whole world," and teaches that a husband should be pampered and cherished. The original Hua Xianxue would rather throw himself down a well than become a widower.

Hua Xianxue: I have just one question. Being widowed pays well, right?

When he marries a dead man, the villagers laugh that Hua Xianxue is so desperate to marry that he's doomed to a cold bed and no more intimate pleasures.

Only Hua Xianxue knows that as a widowed husband, he wears fine woolens and sleeps on silk; someone peels his grapes and removes the seeds from his melons; he counts so much money his hands ache, while a whole crowd of handsome young servants of every sort vie to massage his back and shoulders. The feeling can be summed up in one word...

Hua Xianxue: Bliss!

He enjoys himself until one day, his supposedly dead husband comes back alive...

Hua Xianxue: ???

Hua Xianxue: I can still be a widower! Let me stay a widower!

Jiang Suizhou is the tragic male lead of the book, a lifelong soldier who withdraws from court at the height of his power, just as he is about to be made a marquis and appointed chancellor. He returns to his hometown, but still cannot escape the emperor's suspicions, and ultimately dies an untimely death.

Reborn, Jiang Suizhou uses the memories of his previous life to evade the court's assassins and retire to his hometown.

White mourning banners hang from the tall gate, and a coffin holding Jiang Suizhou's clothes stands in the middle of the mourning hall. The Jiang family, which should have been in chaos, is running in orderly fashion: some mourn, while others keep the accounts.

There's one reason for this: the Jiang family's old master arranged for Jiang Suizhou to marry a widowed husband.

The widowed husband manages the Jiang family's shops so well that he has even opened several new dessert shops. Their signature drinks and treats include pearl milk tea, osmanthus rice wine, taro mochi, and grape drinks. Every day, the line stretches from the shop to the town entrance. Each customer may buy no more than two cups a day, and a personal identity card is required to prevent scalpers.

Even Jiang Suizhou's loyal confidants, disguised as servants, treat the new widowed husband with utmost respect. If he says east, they won't dare go west; if he asks for a shoulder massage, they won't dare massage his legs.

Hua Xianxue's beautiful phoenix eyes light up as he sizes up the travel-worn Jiang Suizhou. "Are you a new servant? You're so handsome and tall. How come I've never seen you before?"

Confidant: "Master, this is your husband, who only recently died."

Hua Xianxue: ???

Ding!
