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?”

"Kiss me, Cole," I begged, my head sinking back into the seat. "I…" He leaned in just a little, his lips close enough for me to taste his breath, but then he stopped.

Like most stories on the webstory app, it's not the worst story I have ever read, but don't expect it to be the quality of Herman Melville or John Steinbeck. Treat it as a fan fiction and you'll have a good time.

When a child first catches adults out -- when it first walks into his grave little head that adults do not always have divine intelligence, that their judgments are not always wise, their thinking true, their sentences just -- his world falls into panic desolation. The gods are fallen and all safety gone. And there is one sure thing about the fall of gods: they do not fall a little; they crash and shatter or sink deeply into green muck. It is a tedious job to build them up again; they never quite shine. And the child's world is never quite whole again. It is an aching kind of growing. John Steinbeck, East of Eden

I really am a necromancer

After transmigrating to the Sorcerers World, Yihua became a Level 1 Necromancer Apprentice with extremely poor aptitude. He had thought that it would be the beginning of hell, but he did not expect that he would be able to obtain merit from punishing evil and helping others. Doing bad things would not deduct merit points, but doing good things would definitely be rewarded! As long as he did 100 million good deeds every day and accumulated merit and karma, he could speed up his cultivation progress and even directly break through! Even the lowest-level acolyte cantrip, Light Treatment, would have terrifying power if it was broken through endlessly. " However, why is there something wrong with the phototherapy technique after the breakthrough?" He watched as the entire world's people were illuminated by the advanced version of the light therapy spell, the world-class Great Holy Light Spell. The sinful people wept bitterly and committed suicide one after another, while the kind people knelt on the ground in gratitude and swore to follow him to the death. Feeling the increasing merit points, Yi Hua took over the rule of this world with the Holy Light Undead Army that was loyal to her and muttered in her heart," " I'm clearly a necromancer who plays with souls and does all kinds of evil. How did I become the savior in the eyes of several worlds?" ------ Elements included: Undead, Strange, Farming, Holy Light Undead, Power Management, Cthulhu, Melee Sorcerers, Sorcerer Civilization, World War.
