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?”

A Snowy Marriage (A Christmas agreement)

" How about we help each other?" He says and I look up at him, eyes still wet from the tears streaming down my cheeks, heart freshly broken from the public humiliation and betrayal that was Lucas's breakup. I can faintly make out the first droppings of snow floating magically under the light of the street lamps. It's that time of the year, a time for wool coats, a time for relaxing, none of which I'll be doing. "I'm an orphan with a wicked aunt and a boyfriend who left her because she has nothing to her name, how could I possibly help you?" I say another sob escaping my lips. "Marry me" he replies and my eyes widen in anger. Is he mocking me?. I look into the eyes of this stranger and see he's dead serious. "I need a wife, you need a home, marry me and you'll have all you want". I nod.

Gonna be my first ever realistic fiction.I've read a few novels and my favorite one is David Copperfield by Charles Dickens.When I read the synopsis and the first intro chapter I found a lot of things similar. A question,"Are you an old reader of Charles Dickens? added this book to my library already because It seems fascinating. I'll read it till it's end and thank you for my type of content.❤

I can still feel love.

This story is set in unrealistic world of abuse. All characters are exaggerated to the point it reminds me of Dickens. And I hate Dickens. But is it a good novel, that makes the reader want to continue. It’s just my personal dislike of black and white characters.

"Every time I encounter danger, I meet you. As expected, you like me, right? A brief introduction of the students." "So, if you don't like me, then why did you appear in my world…If it really didn't work…Can I like you?" "Brother, I can always be with you ~" "I can't see any admiration in your eyes. Even though they are full of affection, it's just to match your facial features." The silhouettes of the white birds gradually intersected with each other. The sun gradually set, and the shadows overlapped and fused together. This was the story of a young man who had lost his feelings for beautiful girls in the capital.

After successfully reincarnating into the cultivation world, I won lying down

The new books,"I'm Wild After Dressing As A Big Boss 'Contracted Beast" and "After Rebirth, I've Became A Foppish Young Master's Favorite Pet" After White Dream's death, she had finally been reincarnated successfully. However, in order to be able to be successfully reincarnated, she had really worried her heart out. Not only was she afraid that she would accidentally miscarry, but she was also worried that her heartless father would forcefully miscarry her. Bai Meng shrugged helplessly."It's really too difficult for me." Only after successfully being born did he realize that he seemed to have been thrown into the cultivation world? But she didn't want to cultivate. She just wanted to be a salted fish and live a life of being fed by her parents, master, and senior brother every day! Master: Even if my disciple is a good-for-nothing, I will protect her for life! Senior Brother: Eh, Junior Sister is trash? Are you serious? At this moment, White Dream was being "grounded" by someone with a look of despair on her face. She even said harshly,"You're not allowed to come out until you break through!" Bai Meng looked at the person who had "confined" her and her face twitched. Don't think that I don't recognize you just because you're wearing a mask! A certain someone's eyes flashed with ridicule as he said,"Is there anything faster than dual cultivation?" Bai Meng held her sore waist and glared at him angrily!
