Stuart Wilkes has always been best at two things: maintaining the facade of a “perfect gentleman,” and expressing his contempt for the world.
A social order revolving around extravagance and gentlemanly manners is so meaningless it makes him want to laugh. But to make his life easier, he has no choice but to pretend to be a perfect gentleman.
All he has to do is act like a loving brother and spend the rest of his life as an upper-class gentleman.
As for Scarlett, the woman he will fall in love with at first sight, he dismisses her as shallow and utterly infatuated with his brother.
Until the damn war kicks him out of his emptiness and into the world of the living.
The greedy, selfish woman is as full of life as a weed.
So dazzling he can't look away.
“You like my brother? That's easy.”
“Here's the plan: I'll be your devoted partner. You can use me as an excuse to get close to him. How's that?”
“What do you mean, before this I said you could just be my lover?”
“...I was wrong. Can I change my mind?”
Please note:
This is a Scarlett dream-guy story. The author is a Scarlett enthusiast who agrees with everything she does.
The author does not consider herself a feminist, so please don't set your expectations too high.
The author is mainly a consequentialist and utilitarian, so the writing may be rather strange.
The male lead fully supports the female lead's career. He isn't just a tool for her to use.
The male lead is a native, chaotic good, nihilistic, fiercely determined to survive, and extremely rebellious.
The author's values may be a little skewed. I genuinely don't think Scarlett did anything wrong, and the male lead feels the same way.
I have no ill will toward any of the three original partners. I acknowledge Rhett Butler's charisma, but dislike the way they handle their relationships.
I don't think Rhett Butler is a good match for the female lead, but Scarlett likes him, so I support her giving him a try.
The younger brother has complicated feelings about Ashley. Their brotherly bond is genuine, so Ashley's tragic fate in the original story will change.

It reminds me of the second male protagonist of The Notebook, who was attracted by seeing a healthy and vital beauty... From a certain point of view, this is also unfair. I can only say that the devastation of war on people is too complicated.
