Pampered by Short-Lived Bigshot

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. When she came out, everyone stared at her in shock. Why was she crying? …… Later on, it was said that the fifth young master returned after he recovered from his illness, and he brought a girl back. She appeared pure and harmless, but underneath that harmless appearance, she was actually a spitfire that offended quite a number of people. 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! Meanwhile, the fifth young master was puzzled. “You’re a gentle and shy girl during the day, so why are you so different during the night?” Tang Wan thought. ‘I have to make every second count. He won’t be able to live long.’ After she gave birth to his son and he became one year old, Tang Wan was prepared to become a widow. However… ‘Why isn’t he dead yet?’ Much later, the fifth master of the Jiang family asked her, “I heard that you’ve been looking for my death every day. Do you want to kill me by sucking me dry?”

Villains Act Shamelessly: The Heiress was the Great National Master!

Villains Act Shamelessly: The Heiress was the Great National Master!

Thea Shaw travels from the modern society to the Women's Respect Country, diligently working for thirty years to reach the position of Great National Master. She is forced to travel back again. Before traveling, she was the Miss Sutton who was mistakenly taken by another family, spending twenty years in the countryside, while a fake heiress replaced her in the elite Sutton Family. Her parents are indifferent to her, relatives awkwardly look down on her, and the fake heiress is superior in every way, treating her with politeness. Originally feeling indignant and extreme about her fate and ready to fight for everything, Thea's sharpness is blunted by thirty years of living in a female-dominant society. She thinks, just get by, what else can you do? So the Sutton Family is astonished to find that the daughter lost in the countryside for twenty years is not demanding her status or proving herself, but is instead waving the banner of feudalism. Great National Master—controls national destiny, primarily fortune-telling, with a side of persuasion. Later on, everyone is talking: "Have you had your fortune told by Thea Shaw? She's really accurate, but when you go see her, you must wear formal attire." —— Landon Ford, the heir to the Ford Family, the strongest in Aethelgard. He is known for being erratic in temperament, with a terrible temper, mostly dealing with others without a smile, infamous for being a lunatic. The first time he met her, she had an ethereal aura about her as if she could ascend at any moment, solemnly requesting him to button up his open collar, and sincerely advising: "Boys, reputation is the most important." Landon Ford slants his eyes, grabbing her hand and pressing it against his heart: "Now, I have no reputation, and you must take responsibility." Thea Shaw: … Young people these days lack virtue in their actions. (Silly and Zen-like Little Fairy X Crazy and Rebellious Heir)

Having transmigrated to a Blue Star invaded by the paranormal, Chu He is the National Guardian War God who single-handedly guards the Demon Cave. Several years later, the first Queen in the history of Great Jing ascends to the throne. She publicizes footage of Chu He brewing tea and reading books daily, criticizing him for neglecting his duties and putting him on public trial before the entire nation. In a single day, Chu He becomes a public enemy. The Queen selects twelve beautiful young women to guard the Demon Cave, replacing him. Chu He laughs, offering no explanation. His ice-queen CEO wife also chooses to divorce him, calling him a true disgrace, little knowing that everything she has today is thanks to his halo as the National Guardian War God. In truth, Chu He has long been tired; living the life of an ordinary person is also quite good. The Queen even gives a public speech: “Without him, we can still annihilate the Evil Spirits!” “The Queen is sharp-eyed and discerning; otherwise, we would still be kept in the dark by this parasite!” “The Queen is so beautiful! I am willing to lay down my life for you!” As a result, the twelve highly anticipated young women are met with an outbreak of innumerable Evil Spirits the moment they arrive at the Demon Cave. In the blink of an eye, corpses litter the ground. The allied forces of Great Jing's experts assemble, only to be slaughtered with devastating ease! “The one we fear is Chu He. You swine and dogs are worthy of suppressing us?” A horde of Evil Spirits swarm out, cackling wildly. “Is it really impossible without him?” the Queen despairs. “So the Evil Spirits of the Demon Cave are this terrifying! Chu He, we were wrong. Please come back, okay!” the populace breaks down. …… “You said you could kill Evil Spirits without me, so why are you crying now?” Chu He says indifferently.

Le Gardien National est Parti et Nous Sommes Finis

Le Gardien National est Parti et Nous Sommes Finis

Ayant transmigré vers une Étoile Bleue envahie par le paranormal, Chu He est le Dieu de la Guerre Gardien National qui protège seul la Grotte du Démon. Plusieurs années plus tard, la première Reine de l'histoire du Grand Jing monte sur le trône. Elle diffuse des images de Chu He préparant du thé et lisant des livres quotidiennement, le critiquant pour avoir négligé ses devoirs et le soumettant à un procès public devant toute la nation. En une seule journée, Chu He devient un ennemi public. La Reine sélectionne douze belles jeunes femmes pour garder la Grotte du Démon, le remplaçant. Chu He rit, n'offrant aucune explication. Sa femme PDG au cœur de glace choisit également de divorcer de lui, l'appelant une véritable disgrâce, ignorant que tout ce qu'elle possède aujourd'hui est grâce à son aura de Dieu de la Guerre Gardien National. En vérité, Chu He est depuis longtemps fatigué; vivre la vie d'une personne ordinaire est aussi assez bien. La Reine donne même un discours public: "Sans lui, nous pouvons toujours anéantir les Esprits Maléfiques!" "La Reine a l'œil vif et le discernement; sinon, nous serions encore dans l'ignorance à cause de ce parasite!" "La Reine est si belle! Je suis prêt à donner ma vie pour vous!" En conséquence, les douze jeunes femmes très attendues sont confrontées à une explosion d'innombrables Esprits Maléfiques dès qu'elles arrivent à la Grotte du Démon. En un clin d'œil, les cadavres jonchent le sol. Les forces alliées des experts du Grand Jing s'assemblent, seulement pour être massacrées avec une facilité dévastatrice! "Celui que nous craignons est Chu He. Vous, porcs et chiens, êtes dignes de nous supprimer?" Une horde d'Esprits Maléfiques sort en essaim, ricanant sauvagement. "Est-ce vraiment impossible sans lui?" désespère la Reine. "Alors les Esprits Maléfiques de la Grotte du Démon sont si terrifiants! Chu He, nous avions tort. S'il te plaît, reviens!" la population s'effondre. …… "Vous avez dit que vous pouviez tuer les Esprits Maléfiques sans moi, alors pourquoi pleurez-vous maintenant?" dit Chu He avec indifférence.

Another great story could be 'A Good Man Is Hard to Find' by Flannery O'Connor. It's full of complex characters and themes. The grandmother in the story is a very interesting character, and through her journey, we see themes of grace, violence, and the search for goodness in a world that seems to lack it.
