After Xiangzi died, I inherited her harem. (Author: Lin Zhongluoyu, Xueni Xiangjian)

Xiangzi died, ten years after our marriage.

Yuu Toyokawa, who became the adopted son-in-law of the Toyokawa family, wakes up to find himself ten years after Ave Mujica disbanded, and Toyokawa Shoko has become his deceased wife!?

Yuu Toyokawa, who became the head of the family, felt that something was wrong with everything. After Shoko's death, Su Shi left the band and became a female executive at a large company. Aine followed the old path and went to the UK to study for a master's degree. Riki bought RING and became the boss's wife, often reminiscing about the past...

Miao Meng, who became a third-tier female celebrity, and Mu, who inherited her family business and became a national actress, are often seen in variety shows broadcast on TV.

And that golden retriever that clung to him at Xiangzi's funeral, refusing to let go even in death.

The way he crawled on his knees, muttering "Xiangzi's taste," made him feel extremely uncomfortable. Was there something wrong with this timeline?

Then we'll just have to explore it ourselves!

……

When the post-coital period ended, she found herself briefly transported to Toyokawa Yuu ten years in the past, looking at the still-alive Ooshiki-sensei...

He realized that this must be Heaven sending him to reverse Ms. Xiangzi's short-lived fate!

Chapter 1 Toyokawa Shoko is Dead

Toyokawa Shoko is dead.

He died ten years after Ave Mujica disbanded.

At this moment, Toyokawa Yuu was told the truth by the remaining memories in his mind after he had just transmigrated.

The portrait of Toyokawa Shoko was in sight. The mourning hall was filled with white flowers for the memorial service. Apart from the Toyokawa family, there were only Shoko's friends dressed in mourning clothes.

The atmosphere around him was heavy, making Toyokawa Yuu feel somewhat oppressed. Looking down, he saw a white flower pinned to his chest. He stood at the front of the crowd, his expression one of astonishment.

In his memory, he dragged his tired body home from get off work late last night.

I wanted to watch the newly released eleventh episode of Ave Mujica to soothe my weary soul.

As a result, after seeing a popular lead singer crawling around on the ground like a crazy woman, she got so angry that her vision went black and she lost consciousness.

He managed to control his expression, but his heart was filled with doubts. He could see several familiar figures among the crowd mourning Toyokawa Shoko.

Looking from the left, she was an elegant and dignified noblewoman, dressed in jewels, her glass-like eyes often filled with sorrow, veiled by a layer of misty water.

"Xiao Xiang, why..."

Her long, flaxen hair was gently tied up, and the noblewoman played with her fingers, her lips pursed, looking somewhat at a loss.

Even without uttering a word, an air of aristocratic arrogance emanated from her.

Beside her was another woman who looked like a porcelain doll; beneath her sorrowful expression, her lovely features were exquisitely beautiful.

Yet she gave off a frail and delicate feeling, as if she would collapse with the slightest push. Her light-colored hair clung to her cheeks, with faint red tear stains remaining, clearly indicating that she had just been crying.

But for some reason, Toyokawa Yuu could sense that even the woman's tears seemed like an act, like a puppet obediently starting to act after receiving instructions.

Lifelike, but not like a human.

Although they hadn't spoken yet, Toyokawa Yuu could tell that the two had come together, and their familiar appearance gave her a sense of déjà vu.

Even though their figures and attire were slightly different, he could still tell that it was Muto and Sōse!

But isn't that a bit much...?

Isn't it too big?

Yes, the two people in front of him were clearly different from the ones he remembered seeing in Mygo. Apart from their height, even their chests were a size bigger.

She has already transitioned from a high school girl to an adult woman.

This left him completely bewildered.

Didn't he travel to MyGo?

Can anyone tell him what's going on?

Holding a white flower symbolizing mourning in his hand, he tried to glean details from the eyes of those around him.

As he turned to the right, the blond figure, dressed in a black suit like a ghost, had a look of sorrow in his eyes.

After recognizing Muto and Shuangshi, they quickly realized that the person in front of them looked just like the popular lead singer who was crawling all over the ground.

No, it's not exactly like that.

Absolutely!

Moreover, why do I hear other people calling her... Hatsune-sama?

When did Miku Miku become so familiar with the Toyokawa family?

As he stood there for a long time, his expression subtle and complex, wondering what he should say at this moment, the wooden figure beside him, which had been silently mourning and offering flowers, suddenly rushed over.

"Why! Why is it Xiangzi who died? Why isn't there a single tear on your face! Aren't you Xiangzi's husband?"

A white flower, still glistening with dew, fell on Toyokawa Yuu's head, the water droplets making his hair stand up. Before he could reach out to wipe away the slightly cool feeling on his head, the green-haired wooden figure had already grabbed his collar.

"Do you really have human blood flowing through your veins, you cold-blooded demon!"

The commotion caused by Mamoru Wakaba broke the silence of the funeral hall, and the mourners began to focus more on themselves, but Yuu Toyokawa had no time to pay attention to any of this.

To the others present, Metis's accusations might have seemed like the ramblings of someone who had lost control of his emotions, since these lines hadn't been uttered for at least a decade.

But for Toyokawa Yuu, these were not unfamiliar words. Not long ago, he had repeatedly admired these words used to torture Toyokawa Shoko, but he never expected that they would be used on him now.

Although the wording was slightly modified, both the demeanor and tone gave Toyokawa Yuu a strong sense of déjà vu.

These are words that the wooden figure would never say.

Then there is only one answer.

This is not a wooden figure, this is Metis.

And... is Teacher Da Xiang my wife?

Yuu Toyokawa, who was still wondering why she was in this situation and even seemed to be at the center of the crowd, was completely dumbfounded.

This reminded him of a screenshot he had seen on a pornographic forum, which suggested that someone might marry into the Toyokawa family and take Shoko as their wife.

The question is whether he would be willing to marry a wife who turns into a robot at the slightest provocation.

He admits.

I did indeed fantasize about Teacher Da Xiang.

After all, a born succubus who is rich, powerful, musically talented, and capable of taking on breach of contract penalties on her own is a very suitable marriage candidate, even if you only consider her small head and rabbit head.

Although he often breathes on things indiscriminately, this is known from Toyokawa Shoko's user manual.

As long as you trigger the preemptive strike before she exhales, exhaling first, she will obediently do as you say, looking both awkward and stubborn.

After all, Toyokawa Shoko couldn't win against any enemy who would fight back.

He'd be willing to drive luxury cars and live in villas just to marry Toyokawa Shoko.

However, right now, Toyokawa Yuu feels as if fate has played a cruel joke on her.

While giving him a piece of candy, tell him that it has expired ten years ago and has long since turned from intoxicating honey into deadly poison.

He hadn't even begun to enjoy the extravagant life of marrying into the Toyokawa family when Xiangzi suddenly became a deceased wife.

Given the established status of a powerful and influential family like the Toyokawa clan, shouldn't the next step be a tense and exciting game of werewolf over inheritance?

Yuu Toyokawa could already sense several malicious gazes from among the mourning crowd behind her.

And this is only what has been revealed by the fact that one's self-control is not good enough; it is impossible to tell how many other hidden forces are lurking in the shadows.

He still doesn't know how Xiangzi suddenly died so inexplicably.

Is this reasonable?

He did have some understanding of the world, but regarding the Toyokawa family, he only knew that the family would often lose as much as 168 billion yen in their power struggles.

After all, in theory, this is a world of girl bands, and there won't be too much description of adult content.

But why is it that when others enter the world of a girl band, they are simply strumming guitar strings and expressing their youth?

He starts off completely bewildered, sending off his deceased wife, and in the foreseeable future, he may even find himself in a drama of a son-in-law fighting against a tycoon.

I'm going to fight against chaebols, really?

Noticing the increasingly malicious gazes, Toyokawa Yuu took a light breath. Instead of trying to pry Metis's hand off her collar, she placed her hands on his shoulders.

Although she hadn't fully figured out what had happened, Toyokawa Yuu was clearly aware of one thing—in this situation, if she didn't make a statement, she might be used against her by someone with ulterior motives.

Although Ave Mujica, as a girl band anime, was criticized for relying on a defense, at least one concept still left a very deep impression on Yuu Toyokawa.

The darkness of the Toyokawa family is beyond your imagination.jpg

Since that's the case... come on, let's do it, who's afraid of who?

Veteran actors love to improvise, so let's see who can outdo each other!

"Mutual... I'm sorry."

Toyokawa Yuu's eyes quickly flushed red and glistened with tears, as if her long-suppressed emotions had finally burst forth with Metis's questioning, and her voice became hoarse and trembling.

Even so, as the widower of the Toyokawa family and the theoretical head of the household after Toyokawa Shoko's death, he still had to maintain a strong and resilient demeanor.

...Although this was performed for the mourning guests.

“I always think, if it were me instead of Xiangzi who died, that would be better. Every time I look at her smile that is forever frozen in the photo, I can hardly believe it.”

Releasing her hand from Metis's shoulder, Toyokawa Yuu turned to look at Toyokawa Shoko's portrait.

Seemingly out of tacit understanding between veteran actors, Metis also released his grip on Toyokawa Yuu's collar, a hint of interest flashing deep in his sorrowful eyes.

Picking up the bouquet that Metis had dropped on the ground, Toyokawa Yuu placed it on the altar along with the white flowers in her hand.

Trembling, he reached out towards Toyokawa Shoko's portrait. To onlookers, it seemed he intended to gently stroke his wife's face as he always had, but he suddenly awoke with a start when his fingertips were just inches away from the portrait.

Now that things have come to this, in this situation, it's impossible to admit that I'm completely unaware of the current situation. Instead, I need to maintain my persona as a widower in the Toyokawa family; this is the only card I have left.

"Mu, please promise me one thing. Xiangzi is gone. As her best friend and her other half, I beg you to live a healthy life and continue to watch over this world in her place."

For some reason, when Yuu Toyokawa uttered the word "half-body," she seemed to hear a faint, soft "ha" in her ear.

"me……"

Metis, whose tears were still wet on his face, choked up again, then covered his eyes, seemingly breaking down in tears.

But Toyokawa Yuu couldn't help but guess that there was no trace of sadness in the other person's golden eyes at this moment.

After all, the person in front of him, Ruoye Mutsu, was most likely Metis, that dull yet meticulous wooden man.

"Mu, don't be sad, it's okay. Go and rest over there."

It must be said that the tearful sobbing was quite effective; Nagasaki Sōse quickly put his arm around Metis's shoulder and gently patted her back to comfort her.

However, before leaving with Metis, she still cast a sorrowful and resentful glance at Toyokawa Yuu.

“Yu-yu-kun…”

Ten years later, Nagasaki Sase looked even more like a widow than she did in high school. Looking at her with those melancholy and broken eyes, Toyokawa Yuu felt immense pressure.

In particular, there was obvious hostility and blame in his eyes.

"You didn't keep your wedding vows, to protect her health and happiness for the rest of her life... I need an explanation for why... why it happened so suddenly."

To this, Yuu Toyokawa did not reply. At this time, silence and bowing one's head were the best answers, and adding a sigh or two would be an extra bonus.

As Nagasaki Sosei and Metis left, before Toyokawa Yuu could even catch her breath, another solemn and dejected voice entered her ears.

"I'm sorry, Youyu, I know you're also in pain, but... Xiangzi's departure is undoubtedly a major blow to all of us."

Miku Miku pursed her lips, reached out her right hand to grab her drooping left arm, and took a deep breath.

"Therefore, I hope you will not be discouraged. You are Xiangzi's husband. You need to take over Xiangzi's responsibilities and cheer up. The Fengchuan family still needs you."

Hearing these comforting words, Toyokawa Yuu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, although being a son-in-law of the Toyokawa family and having his wife die is a disastrous start, at least this identity is still quite useful to Misaki Misaki, who is a loyal follower of Toyokawa Shoko.

Taking a deep breath, Toyokawa Yuu forced herself to calm down and nodded calmly to the Misaki Miku beside her.
