When they first met, Tang Wan sighed, “The fifth young master of the Jiang family is just as the rumors said. He’s celibate, aloof, prideful, and is a man to be revered. Unfortunately, he’s so smart that he no longer has any will to live, which made him sickly, and he’s going to die soon… Later on, the fifth young master brought her into his room.

But the fifth young master just said, “I brought her back, so I’ll let her do whatever she wants. If… anything happens, I’ll take responsibility.” His best friend gave him a reminder. “You’re going to be responsible for someone from the Tang family?” “Since she came back with me, she’s mine. She’s just a young girl and is spoilt. I have to take responsibility.” After Tang Wan married into the Jiang family, she only had one mission. She must give birth to his children before he died!

"Quoi ? Les poulets sauvages que j'ai élevés sont des phénix de sang pur ?" "Quoi ? Les carpes que j'ai élevées sont de vrais dragons ?" D'un geste de la main, la rivière fut coupée ; d'un léger coup de pied, la montagne s'effondra. Un groupe de cultivateurs incroyablement puissants s'agenouilla devant lui, l'adorant et l'appelant 'maître'. "Qu'est-ce qui ne va pas dans ce monde ?" Li Fan s'écria : "Oh non, c'est impossible !"

I just added the harem tag, it has harem in it but only after like 900 chapters and it isn't discussed, explored or written about after like 2-3 chapters. So much so that one might forget that it even has a harem, (at least that's how it is so far). So please keep that in mind as you read it, as I wouldn't like the rating going down because you were not expecting to read a story with harem in it...
