Investing in My Crippled Wife: Every Return Makes Me Stronger

Soren Valmere, unawakened and treated as family garbage, is forced into an arranged marriage with Ethea Morvain, the once-legendary Ice Empress now completely paralyzed after a catastrophic Gate incident. Both families exile them to a modest house in a working-class neighborhood, washing their hands of two "problems" they no longer want to deal with. But on their wedding night, Soren awakens a hidden power: the Investment Authority. Whatever he invests in Ethea—time, money, care, emotion—returns to him amplified by 10,000 times when she achieves breakthroughs. Buy her medicine with his last credits? Receive a hundred million in return. Spend sleepless nights helping her move a single finger? Gain decades of martial experience instantly. Risk his life to save hers? Unlock abilities that shatter the heavens. As he pours everything into the wife everyone abandoned, Ethea slowly transforms from a broken doll into something that surpasses even her legendary past. And Soren? The "worthless" unawakened trash becomes the most dangerous investor the world has ever seen. Their families wanted to forget them. The world dismissed them as failures. They're about to learn that the greatest returns come from investing in someone everyone else deemed worthless. "You threw us away. Now watch us rise." _______ _____ _ Author's Note: Hey everyone!

The cold villain boss begged me to hug him after he became popular

1. The new idol, Si Mo, was just like his name. He was decisive and cold to others, but his good looks attracted countless girls to join him, but none of them succeeded. Everyone knew that Si Mo didn't like to wear jewelry and didn't even have a watch on his wrist. At the award ceremony, they found out that the big boss was wearing a red braid on his right wrist. " Why?" When he asked about the reason, the corners of his lips curled up slightly. His eyes were gentle and filled with pride." My wife made it up for me." From then on, the red rope never left his hand. 2. Yu Qian Qian had decided to stay away from the original male protagonist the very same day she got into the role of Gu Zao Ba Zong Wen's female supporting role. She had looks and money, so why should she still be a female supporting role until she met Si Mo? She had been practicing dancing since she was young and had performed abroad on behalf of the country many times. She was the goddess in the hearts of countless netizens, but she was willing to retire for the original male lead. In the dead of the night, Si Mo touched her slender waist. He looked at her standing on the stage and said regretfully," It would be great if I could see you dance with my own eyes." Hence, she put on her dance costume, stood on the stage, and performed another court dance. "Why did you suddenly want to participate in this program?" asked the host. The fairy stood on the stage and showed the engagement ring generously.

Xuanming Immortal Destiny

The Underworld Star was originally a world of beasts. For millions of years, the eight great beast clans had been fighting each other all year round. Blood flowed like rivers on the Underworld Star, forming an endless sea. 10,000 years ago, the Xuan cultivators killed their way into the Netherworld Star, exterminated Qiongqi, killed Taowu, exiled Taotie and Hundun, and captured the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise. 10,000 years later, the world of war descended once again. The story began here. Hong Tian was a fourteen or fifteen-year-old youth, a servant disciple of the Myriad Dao Sect's Spirit Plant Hall. He had the reverse spirit root of water and fire, and was at the first qi layer. He was aloof from worldly affairs. He only wanted to cultivate to the fourth qi layer so that he would be qualified to go down the mountain to train and meet his grandfather, whom he had not seen for many years. However, the senior brother who was close to him suddenly died. He lost his identity as a servant of the Spirit Plants Hall and returned to the outer sect. He wanted to help his senior find out the truth, but the news was leaked and he fell into someone else's trap. Fortunately, not only did he discover that he possessed the Wind Spiritual Root, but he also obtained a cultivation method for the Wind Spiritual Root. He cultivated day and night. He fought with his enemies to the death. One by one, his enemies were reduced to dust. Until one day, a beast tide broke out. The 10,000-year crisis of the Netherworld Star had arrived! With his extraordinary ability, Hong Tian gradually walked to the front of the Celestial Gate and the four Beast Gods. He suppressed the Beast Tide and protected the heavenly world. Even if he was attacked by the axe, he was fearless! He was Hongtian! Cultivators loved and feared him, mortals worshipped him, and in the vast world, he left behind a "legend of heaven"!
