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?”

Myth: The Ruler of Spirituality

The nascent Chaos had just been carved out, and the barren void welcomed the souls from the Otherworld. As the first soul in the Chaos World, Laine automatically became the God of Spirituality. However, divine power stems from Divine Power, and the existence of spirituality was insignificant; thus, the newly born Laine was extremely weak. With no other choice, to avoid being overturned by the torrents of fate, Laine had to rely on himself. He carved out realms, and birthed lives belonging solely to spirituality. He created sequences, scattering the steps to deification. He wove the Magic Net, enveloping the sky, the oceans, and the land. When the bell of dusk sounded, I raised my divine seat and proclaimed to all beings from the pinnacle of the Spirit Realm: There are two facets to the world, the material and the spiritual. The material belongs to the gods, and the spiritual belongs to me, such is the ultimate truth of all things.

I Can Grant Origin Powers To Anything

“Young man, I can tell from your skeletal structure that you have an extremely rare talent. You must be a one in a million prodigy in the martial arts. Now that the Blue Planet has ascended, mutant beasts are ravaging our homes, and foreign species are invading our land, our people are in grave danger. Here, I have an [Infinite Demon God Physique Training Method], I’ll give it to you for just two dollars. You shall be entrusted with the mission of maintaining world peace.” Xu Lingyun was touched. He said, “I can’t believe that you can actually see my true potential. Here’s four dollars, no need to give me change.” The scammer took the money, left him a fake secret training manual, and left feeling content. Xu Lingyun brought the secret manual home. He slapped the cover of the book. Instantly, the aged, tattered book started emanating a magnificent array of lights. An ancient and powerful aura filled the air, dominating the stars and piercing through the age. A fake? Oh please, in front of me, there is no such thing as “description may not match the actual item, please see the actual item”.

Hidden Myth

In the drab monotony of his 9–5 cubicle life, Lyden Snow never expected anything more exciting than another spreadsheet—until Angela, a four‑hundred‑year‑old succubus of breathtaking beauty, materializes on his commute and shatters his world—literally. One electric liaison later and a screeching car crash send him hurtling into a hospital bed, where he awakens to a staggering truth: he is no longer fully human, nor is his life bound to a single reality. Drawn into the hidden realms that lie parallel to our own, Lyden must traverse the perilous Borderlands—domains woven from ancient myth and ruled by primal forces. There, the “Pillars” that uphold both mortal and immortal worlds are under siege by an unknown darkness. To save everything he holds dear, he must master the unexpected powers pulsing within him, forge uneasy alliances with dragons, merfolk, and other supernatural beings, and confront a conspiracy that reaches back to the dawn of creation. As Lyden’s circle of allies grows—each bearing their own secrets and desires—so too does the danger. Seductive succubi vie for his loyalty, legendary beasts test his mettle, and gods long thought dead stir in their slumber. Every battle brings him closer to the heart of the enigma: what is the true origin of his newfound abilities, and why do the very forces of myth converge around him?

I really enjoyed the world building aspect of it. Especially the origin myth at the beginning. It sounded like a real origin myth! The only comment I have is a bit grammatical, it seemes your tenses go in a couple different directions. But it didn't make it too hard to read! Over all still a good story. Keep it up!

The startup is really good, its like bringing up that old myth and fairy tales from your memories. Of course the way of telling the stories is similar to those greek and nordic myth where mysteries about the world is on full swing right off the bat. For me this series is full of potential.

The Legend of Min Hong and Hidden Myth of Ji Dara are the very finest examples of a story with a Multiple Personality Disorder. In a world where such mental condition is being downplayed and ostracized, Origin had managed to show that this scarily weird mental ailment also has it's bright funny side as well... If this book has another MC like his previous books, then it is a must read for me...
