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.

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?”

I love this series. Not too much harem garbage, and tons of the classic "Yankee at King Arthur's Court" modern-vs-medieval clashing. Sure, the main character is a bit too amazing at remembering science/math even as an actual engineer, but it's still a lot better than most other Chinese or Japanese light novels I've sampled.

Rebirth of America's Wealth Life

The characters and stories that appeared in the book mostly belonged to a parallel world and had nothing to do with the real world. If you found someone you were familiar with, it would just be a coincidence. Or rather, there was another person in the parallel world, but their life trajectories were different. Of course, if they were exactly the same, it would be a coincidence. From this point of view, they were not the same person.

"No, my hometown is Hangzhou. If you don't understand me, you can go to Baidu." Xu Xingyi replied with a smile on his face. Then, he deliberately added,"You can also ask me directly." An Xizi retracted his gaze that looked like he was looking at a retard. When he lowered his gaze, his lips curled up in a mocking manner." Since you're not from Dunhuang, why are you so stubborn?"
