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?”

Gasp! She's a Time Traveler Using Modern Tech to Improve Ancient Life

Lin Wanwan slips a jade bracelet onto her wrist—and steps between two worlds. Side A: neon lights, 5G, instant ramen, MRI machines—an age of abundance where food is fast and friendships sometimes slow. Side B: Tang-dynasty sunshine, cracked earth, locust clouds, emperors who ask villagers to skip meals so soldiers can march. A “golden age” that growls with hunger. Lin has no grand plan—only a wish: let the little bean who waits for her at the gate eat his fill, let the gray-haired elders who calls her “treasure” sleep without fear of famine. Lin Wanwan wants to bring small changes to the world she loves, so the family she cherishes can live a little better, then a little better still—because "I has finally found the place that calls my home."

Re: Tales of the Rune-Tech Sage

In a realm rife with war and conquest, only the strong and cunning may survive. Planar travel has become the determinant of strength. Nobles and powerhouses travel the myriad planes, invading and plundering them to increase their personal strength, grow their military might and fund their endless wars. A systems engineer and lifelong web novel reader is reborn as Alex Fury—a young noble dismissed as talentless by his own family. Struggling to awaken his family’s bloodline talents and the warrior potential his family expects of him, Alex is sent off to a Mage Tower. His fate is clear: forge a path for himself... or lose everything. Blending the system engineering and web novel knowledge of his previous life with the Rune knowledge of his new world, Alex Fury creates a revolutionary new form of magic unique to him... RuneTech Magic. From runic artificial Intelligence to interplanar communication networks; From rune-powered super soldiers to rune-crafted power armours (and mechas), from new energy sources to perpetual energy. With this marriage of science, technology and the arcane, Alex will usher in advances previously thought unattainable in his new world, and his old one. This is a tale of power, rebellion, ambition- and legacy. Empires will rise to crush him. Worlds will try to deny him. But with intellect, invention- and just a spark of madness, he will carve his name into history. Witness the birth of the Rune-Tech Sage, and the beginning of a legend that will echo across worlds.

Re: Contes du Sage Rune-Tech

Dans un royaume en proie à la guerre et à la conquête, seuls les forts et les rusés peuvent survivre. Le voyage planaire est devenu le déterminant de la force. Les nobles et les puissants voyagent à travers les innombrables plans, les envahissant et les pillant pour accroître leur force personnelle, développer leur puissance militaire et financer leurs guerres sans fin. Un ingénieur système et lecteur de romans web de toute une vie renaît en tant qu'Alex Fury—un jeune noble considéré sans talent par sa propre famille. Dépourvu des pouvoirs de lignée et du potentiel de guerrier de sa famille, Alex est exilé dans une Tour des Mages. Son destin est clair : maîtriser la magie... ou tout perdre. Pas de système de triche. Pas de bénédiction divine. Pas de pouvoir caché. Ce qu'il possède, c'est un esprit aiguisé par la logique, l'ingénierie... et les histoires. Mêlant les connaissances en ingénierie système et en romans web de sa vie précédente avec les connaissances en Runes de son nouveau monde, Alex Fury crée une nouvelle forme révolutionnaire de magie unique à lui... La Magie RuneTech. De l'Intelligence Artificielle runique aux réseaux de communication interplanaires ; Des super soldats alimentés par des runes aux armures de puissance runiques (et mechas), des nouvelles sources d'Énergie à l'Énergie perpétuelle. Avec ce mariage de la science et de la technologie, Alex va inaugurer des avancées auparavant jugées inaccessibles dans son nouveau monde, et dans son ancien. C'est un récit de pouvoir, de rébellion, d'ambition - et d'héritage. Des Empires s'élèveront pour l'écraser. Des mondes tenteront de le nier. Mais avec l'intellect, l'invention - et juste une étincelle de folie, il gravera son nom dans l'histoire. Assistez à la naissance du Sage Rune-Tech, et au début d'une légende qui résonnera à travers les mondes.

Interesting premise, but the chapter felt a bit long for an intro. Some of the exposition dragged. Still, I’m intrigued by the setup and want to see what he does with the tech knowledge.
