the signet classic book of american short stories

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?”

The book coming straight out of a classic in American literature. It’s normal that it’s not bad but the lack of space in some words (words sticking to another) is troublesome to read. And it’s frequent so it brings down the joy to read

The fake daughter was forced to inherit billions of assets

[Completed] Warm Wine disappeared for 37 years and returned with his superpower. However, she accidentally wore it on the fake daughter who had been abandoned. Abandoned? Coincidentally, she could go back to find her brother. However, her eldest brother did not seem to treat her as a younger sister, her nephew did not treat her as a younger aunt, and her grandnephew did not treat her as a younger aunt. [Older Brother Over 60: Little Dimple, Big Brother has bought you cotton candy.] The middle-aged nephew said,"Auntie, it's my turn to pick you up from school today." His grandnephew, who was still a teenager, thought to himself,"Little Aunt, it's wrong to fall in love at such a young age!" Warm Wine: ??? Erm, listen to my excuses. I'm already a mature middle-aged man! Being treated like a baby, Wenjiu was very distressed. He could only divert his attention and seriously cover his avatar to increase his superpower, but... What was with this fake rich grandpa who suddenly appeared and wanted her to inherit the family property? The richest man's grandfather,"My dear granddaughter, do you have time to go home and inherit the family property?" Warm Wine: ??? The person involved expressed that he was a person with superpowers and did not need to have money. Moreover, she could not even spend all her money. ** The superpower was not very stable after the soul transmigration. Research showed that... She needed to get close to good-looking people and make them happy. The happier they were, the more stable they would be. Warm Wine was speechless. It didn't seem very reliable. Ji Xianyan, who had a good appearance, became the chosen prey. From then on, his mental activity became- - Why is she so nice to me? - Does she like me? - She must like me! One day, a young man with a bad temper blocked the path of the warm wine, his ears red,[I'm so annoying. I agree to your pursuit.] Warm Wine: ??? I'm sorry, I just want to be your little aunt.

The soft and sweet little cutie was spoiled by the general

The new book, Shocking! The weakest in the galaxy, she picked up the battleship with her bare hands again."Babies, come and watch." When they first met, he only said one sentence. "Dig a hole and bury it." The bone-chilling voice was like the sound of nature to her. It was also the most touching thing she had heard since she was dumped. "Yes, General." She learned his identity from his attendant. He was the cold-blooded general whom she had broken off the engagement with. If there was a chance, she would definitely repay him for burying her bones. Later, she was reborn and married him. Everyone said that Wan Yanji was born with a murderous aura, cold-blooded and heartless, and he killed people like flies. He was very scary. After that, everyone saw the General's wife, who had a ruddy complexion. They also saw the General's wife being bullied and the General's family coming out to seek justice for her. It was said that the other party was the young master of the High Duke's Public House, but he was beaten so badly that he did not even dare to acknowledge his parents. Behind the crowd, the servants of the General Manor could always hear the General's wife asking timidly. "Is the general still alive?" "The general has returned triumphantly?" "The other side has never fought a general before?" "Madam, do you really wish for the General to die so badly?" The servants could not help but ask. Bai Lixin nodded without thinking." Of course. I'll bury him after he dies." This way, she would be done repaying him. Everyone was speechless.
