Huo Qiao transmigrated into a book, becoming a cannon-fodder supporting female character who didn’t even survive the opening of the novel. When she opened her eyes, she was facing the plot point where she had to choose a husband.
Choose the rich heir, and she would be disgraced and die miserably. Choose the sickly man, and she would live a quiet life as a wealthy widow.
Huo Qiao: It’s not that I have no choice. I just happen to like being a widow.
…
They said the man who was about to become her husband was the Fifth Young Master of the Xie family, one of Kyoto’s most notorious playboys, and a sickly invalid to boot.
Who in Kyoto’s wealthy circles didn’t know that the Fifth Young Master Xie had, at most, a year to live?
So the gossips gleefully waited for the day Huo Qiao would become a widow.
But one year, two years… many years passed!
Everyone asked, “What happened to dying young? Why is the Fifth Young Master still alive?! And how did Huo Qiao become the darling of all Kyoto’s most prestigious families?”
[Extra Scene]
She had assumed her wealthy husband didn’t have long to live, and that she would soon become a rich widow with billions in inheritance.
At first, Huo Qiao thought, “This marriage is a good deal.”
But later, her husband not only lived year after year, he also made her special late-night snacks every night.
Huo Qiao rubbed her increasingly round belly and wailed, “I’m the one who got the short end of the stick. I even ended up with a little one on the way.”
[A fake heiress who only wants to be a widow, but her husband refuses to die X A frail but immortal, doting (and teasing) husband who was a big shot in his past life and only wants to laze around in this one]
Note: Both leads are each other’s one and only. A sugary romance full of over-the-top tropes. The author is getting back into writing.
