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?”

"Kiss me, Cole," I begged, my head sinking back into the seat. "I…" He leaned in just a little, his lips close enough for me to taste his breath, but then he stopped. "Not now, Mia," he said with that smug voice. His hand trailed lower, gliding over my belly, fingers slipping under the waistband of my trousers. He didn't even hesitate—his fingers dipped lower, brushing over the wetness soaking through my panties. "Damn," he groaned in my ear. "You're fucking soaked."

I know its a book of short horror stories but I think they are more on the action end than scary! Coming from someone who binges horror movies and stories I think the author can build the suspense more and tease the readers with if the character will survive or not. The plot lines and story itself is very good so just think with a bit of polishing it will truly be a fantastic read! Keep writing!

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.

The imperial concubine wants to climb the wall

The moment he opened his eyes, he had transmigrated to a different world, and he was lying in a mass grave with nothing on his body. It was so miserable! Her family had a white lotus sister who was biased towards her father. Her husband's family had unruly subordinates. The high and mighty white moonlight was jumping around one after another. When they saw her, they would step on her. What kind of trash were they? Shangguan Qian's hands were itching. She was a clean freak and had to clean up the rubbish when she saw it. As for that so-called husband? Sorry, a marriage without any emotional foundation is like a plate of loose sand. I won't serve you anymore!
