Coco Coison, now known as Coco Hughes, found herself thrown into another world, possessing that world's Coco. Not only has she found out that she is married with four husbands, but she also found out that those four men hate her guts. "I'll help you guys build this house, earn money to get us divorced then I'll leave you alone!" Coco swore with her life, but as the time passed by, she noticed that the attitude of her husbands changed with the season. "Where are you going? Stay for the night." The first husband who doesn't like her presence around the house had started to let her stay. "Coco, what the f*ck are you doing? I told you to not lift a hand after going back from the mountains!" The second husband who likes slaving her, cusses her out from trying to make herself a cup of ground coffee. "Shut up, the librarian told me that you went to the main city to get me books again. Stop doing it and putting yourself at risk." The third husband who loves books more than anything else had scolded her for doing her supposedly weekly errand told by him. "Who told you to go and clean your room? Don't do that. I'll handle that instead, out now." The fourth husband who doesn't like lifting a hand when she's around had pushed her aside when she was about to clean her own room. "Just.. Just what's happening to them?!" Coco only wanted to live her life peacefully and not cause any ruckus before her divorce, but it seems that the sudden changes in her husbands' personalities had confused her. "It seems that a lot of men want to have you around, huh? How about we get ourselves busy and have some kids run inside this mansion?" Would she ever get her self-proclaimed happy ending?! Oh, how much she wishes to have it!

Note: Warning, this book is written by people who just wants things to be as much chaotic as it can possibly get. Additional disclaimer: The image is not ours. If you want us to take it down then bet. Are you tired of those troupes where the MC hides their powers? Or one where the mc wants or has to save the world for his loved one. Perhaps, one where the world just moves in a predestined motion. One where it's a sandbox for the mc to grow. Are you tired of those? Do you want to just throw your brain out the window and try something garbage for once. Do you want a scenario where something just happens for the sake of happening and not because it's for an overarching plot. If so, welcome. Take a stop here and read what this book has to offer. Fuck it, we ball. Serious note: - Fast-paced: Chapters transitions to other ones in a blink of an eye till around chapter 12, at least. - There are multiple main protagonists - mainly four of them, among them, two are guaranteed to have an harem apparently/ - Names are mixed. We'll be mixing names from different cultures as we see fit. Reasons you should read this novel: "JUST TRY IT."

Step 1: Find yourself an overpowered Awakener. Not just any Awakener, mind you; aim for the one who takes down bosses solo, preferably with a scowl. They’re the ticket to your hassle-free existence. Step 2: Power up your Awakener. Feed them, encourage them, and let them do all the XP grinding. The stronger they are, the safer you’ll be. Step 3: Marry the Awakener. Lock it down, officially. With this, your safety is practically guaranteed. Step 4: Relax and let the Awakener handle the world’s chaos. You’re now free to enjoy your easy, drama-free life. (Well, mostly.) --- P.S. 1. Steps 2 and 3 are totally interchangeable—or combine them. It worked for me. 2. Forget heroes; look for the anti-hero. The selfish ones, villains? That’s where your real safety lies. 3. You may need to deal with some light trauma cleanup now and then, but it’s no biggie. 4. Not foolproof, but hey, it worked for me! *** Lol it's romance okay, no fight scenes, no system interface cause I'm too lazy to do that research, just romance a hot man,hot woman and some smut here. And a plot. [Two chapters daily] [Please comment and review, votes too]
