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?”

Horror-Spieleentwickler: Meine Spiele sind nicht so gruselig!

[Horror-Spieleentwickler: Meine Spiele sind wirklich nicht so gruselig!] Ich hasse Horror. Von den huschenden Geräuschen von Schritten, die hinter mir herjagen, bis zu den leisen, aber beunruhigend kalten Flüstern, die sich um meine Ohren winden... All das. Ich hasse es. So sehr, dass ich anfange zu kotzen, wenn ich eine bestimmte Schwelle erreiche. Und trotzdem bin ich ein Horror-Spieleentwickler. Ein miserabler noch dazu. Also habe ich beschlossen, aufzuhören, angesichts meiner mangelnden Fähigkeiten. Und doch... [Glückwunsch, Sie wurden für das Horror-Spielentwicklungssystem ausgewählt!] Nein, ich will es nicht. Lass mich aufhören. ※ Hinweis: Ihre Welt könnte einige Veränderungen erfahren. Aber keine Sorge! Es ist Teil des Spiels! *** Dies ist eine Geschichte über einen Spieleentwickler, der Horror hasst, aber keine andere Wahl hat, als Spiele zu entwickeln, die gruselig genug sind, um Menschen zu traumatisieren. Sie wollen mich verfluchen, weil ich Sie dazu gebracht habe, sich in die Hose zu machen? Wenn das der Fall ist, wen verfluche ich dann? *** Eine von SCP inspirierte Geschichte mit ihrer eigenen Wendung!

Immortal in Horror Game: She is the Fortune Teller!

She is the true daughter of a prestigious family in the Federation, who was lost outside and grew up in a garbage heap, and is also a waste with only F-level spiritual power. Her parents' abandonment and favoritism, the exclusion and framing by her green tea fake daughter sister, the cultivation sect in crisis. She can only regain her cultivation and turn the tide by participating in the Federation Planet's 'God Creation Game'! "No way? Someone with only F-level spiritual power can also enter the 'God Creation Game'?" "Maybe just to make up the numbers." "With only 3 attack points, even a gust of wind can kill her, right?" Josh, the sickly waste not favored by everyone, casually summoned a Divine-level Monster in the dimension. Just when everyone thought she was going to kill all sides, she smiled slightly: "Open for fortune-telling, divining the location, weaknesses, and treasures of monsters, looking at dimension feng shui, monster physiognomy, one divination for 3000 points, scan the code to pay, thank you!" Barrage: "What's wrong! 3000 points, what idiot would go there! She's a fraud!" Contestant: "Me me me! I want a reading, I want a reading!" "I was here first!" "Don't cut in line!" Barrage: "......" Are these the star contestants they've fostered with points?

The novel "THE FEAR" is not just a horror story; it is a terrifying psychological experience that plays with the reader's mind. It blends elements of Gothic horror, cosmic horror, and terrifying hallucinations, making it one of the most disturbing and profound works in this literary genre. "THE FEAR" is not an ordinary horror novel; it is a journey into the depths of human fear, where reality merges with nightmares, sanity with madness, and death with eternity.

This story is developing at a steady pace with boys of gore and gothic horror thrown in for good measure. Bambi is a sweet, naive girl who can be a little frustrating at times when she is oblivious to things going on around her. The writing is engaging and updates fairly regular.

She pampered the villain after the book

Everyone in Guangyue City knew that the eldest daughter of the Yun family, Yun Ran, had a bodyguard who accompanied her since she was young. She could not be chased away, and she was also ridiculed by others because of this. She had once shouted at him angrily,"Can you not follow me?!" So annoying!" He did not react. However, not long after, Missy became the bodyguard's follower. "Ember, if you don't let me follow you, I won't like you anymore," she joked. The girl's smile was bright and cunning, like a little fox. The next second, she was pressed into his arms and kissed. The man's back was slightly bent. His posture was humble and pious, and his eyes were filled with aggression and possessiveness. His voice was hoarse and low. "Ranran, don't joke with me like this." He could tolerate her never looking back. But he couldn't stand her leaving his sight. - The world is turbid, day and night are the same sin, sin and love are the same song. He had lived half his life in darkness, drowning in hatred, and she was his only light. [Cool, rich, beautiful, and arrogant sister X, two-faced, tolerant, and paranoid bodyguard, two strong and two clean, sweet pets 1v1, mutual redemption]

The manager in the collapsing world

Maple leaves are falling and fireflies are rising. I like maple trees and the feeling of bathing in the breeze, so I'm called Mu Qingfeng. He was born from a tribulation, extremely glorious, but became a chess piece. He was unknown, but he jumped out of the chessboard. In this brand new world, everything was worth discovering. Sadness and joy intertwine, starlight and snowflakes blend in the sky. Then, will you hold my hand? (Before reading a book, read your WeChat Moments before deciding whether to read it. The early stages are poisonous. There are some places where you borrow from other people's books. The author updates very slowly.)
