Did I Successfully Become a Widow for My Sickly Husband Today?

Slow-burn | Outwardly cool, inwardly possessive, jealous prince x carefree playboy who's actually an avoidant-type heartthrob

Chi Du is a laid-back college student whose goal is to lie flat as soon as possible.

Who could have guessed that after opening and closing his eyes, he'd transmigrate into a book and become a cannon-fodder character in a BL novel? On the very day he transmigrated into the book, he was forced to marry a sickly prince who was also a cannon-fodder character and whom he'd never even met.

Believing that things get better after the hard times, Chi Du set about starting a new business on the second day after transmigrating into the book.

No connections? No funding?

Neither was a problem.

He made friends in every circle, navigated all sides, and overcame one obstacle after another.

While his career was flourishing, Chi Du fell for a refined gentleman, and ended up turning himself gay in the process.

His only problem was his sickly husband...

Seeing as the man didn't have long to live and was even helping him plan how to pursue his crush, Chi Du treated him with brotherly loyalty and mutual respect.

But much later, he suddenly realized...

What sickly man?! It had all been an act!

What crush?! It was all fake!!!

Chi Du turned and ran.

Reborn x transmigrated | 1v1, happy ending

[Bonus scene]

One dark and windy night, just as Chi Du was about to climb over the wall, someone grabbed him by the ankle without warning, and he tumbled headfirst into the man's arms. The man's scorching breath spread by his ear. "Darling, which lover are you sneaking off to meet this time?"

Chi Du's hair stood on end. "He's a brother!"

"Oh. Then which brother are you sneaking off to meet?"

P.S. My brains aren't up to it, so the political intrigue is kindergarten-level at best.

Upcoming book, I Heard I Had a Brain Tumor, So the Enemy Nation's Leader Went All In: Please add it to your collection!

A thousand years ago, an unprecedented disaster struck the Yanxia Empire. News of an alien invasion spread among the people, and they truly did see the alien invader's leader, an utterly terrifying being known as "E":

From then on, endless fear shrouded the empire.

As the empire's youngest crown prince, Ji Zhubai was regarded as the only hope for the continuation of its civilization. He was forced to take an elixir and fell into a deep sleep.

A thousand years later, Ji Zhubai awoke.

He woke in a cryogenic pod in a cold laboratory.

His heart had been replaced with a cold model, while his appearance remained young and handsome.

On the second day after he woke, the entire empire celebrated his coronation. That evening, mountains of documents were delivered to his room

The enemy nation is about to attack us again. What should we do?

The enemy's brats actually peed in our direction across the border. This is intolerable!

We still owe the Ji Nation a hundred years' worth of interest, and they've sent someone to collect again. Do we pay them?

After reading the third one, Ji Zhubai made an immediate decision. "A debt must be repaid. Pay the interest!"

His subordinate said, "It's not a question of whether we should pay... We can't afford to."

When Ji Zhubai learned that the so-called enemy nation was the alien race that had invaded Yanxia a thousand years ago, his head throbbed and he fainted on the spot. After he woke, he was told he had a brain tumor.

When the news reached the enemy nation, its leader came to visit.

It was the legendary "E," a... monster who had lived for over a thousand years.

Ji Zhubai sat up straight, already prepared to sacrifice his life for his country.

Who would have thought a young man would appear before him?

"Your Highness Beijun, since you have a brain tumor, you should get some rest. Why don't I handle your paperwork for you?"

"Oh, the interest is no big deal. I'll send word right now and have them waive it!"

"An attack? No such thing! Your Highness Beijun, just focus on resting..."

Ji Zhubai: ...

The people of Yanxia watched as the enemy nation's leader moved into the outer palace of their emperor that very night. Every day, he helped him review piles of official documents and even brought him tea and meals...

Then one day, someone from the enemy nation accidentally let slip that Ji Zhubai's brain tumor was actually an energy chip hidden by their leader. If they could remove it successfully, their race would be able to rule the world.

The entire empire fell into panic.

But that very night, people watched as the enemy nation's leader carried their emperor out of his bedchamber, set him on the throne, knelt on one knee, and kissed him.

"My territory is Yanxia's territory, and my people are Yanxia's people. May your nation flourish for generations and enjoy everlasting blessings."

"But Zhubai, I only want you."
