Transmigrated into a Widower

**Optimistic, Cheerful Bottom vs Dark, Scheming Top** Lin Zhen wakes up in bed to find himself transmigrated into the body of a widower with the same name—his husband just died, leaving him with an eight-year-old stepson. Misunderstood by the brat as someone who plans to elope with his father’s wealth, Lin Zhen breathes a sigh of relief when the boy chooses to live with his uncle instead, believing himself unfit to care for a child. Lin Zhen settles the matter, returns to his original body's hometown, and focuses on leading his family to prosperity. But when the uncle and his wife start abusing the boy for money, this reluctant stepfather has no choice but to step in. He deals with the couple, takes the child back, and enrolls him in school to prevent him from turning rotten. Scholar, Provincial Scholar, Imperial Candidate, Top Graduate— Gu Lin grows increasingly accomplished, eventually becoming the youngest Chief Grand Secretary in the dynasty. But Lin Zhen notices something unsettling—the way his nominal son looks at him is growing increasingly improper, like a man starved for lifetimes suddenly spotting a plate of braised pork!? Rumors swirl in court: the Chief Grand Secretary has a name, and those who dare speak it are doomed. "Shuanzi." "Shuanzi~." "Gu Shuanzi!" Lin Zhen pinches the man's rock-hard flesh. "Where did your manners go—respecting your elders, cherishing the young?!" The Chief Grand Secretary kisses his beloved. "Call me again." **Content Notes:** ① They start as stepfather and stepson, with romantic developments only after this relationship is dissolved. ② The bottom is older than the top.
