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?”

Every time they quarreled, he would say three sentences: DIVORCE I have a generation gap with you.

" Gu Yanqing was neither angry nor angry. He said faintly, "aren't young ladies of your age the most popular loyal dog husbands? " This man He was too shameless!

It's really hard to come by short novels that have substance. Those who like stories with a lot of substance but find it hard to read long stories, try this novel. Most people find it hard to write dialogue stories so this is really unique.

Had promise as an idea but chapters are just short snippets of moments and not actual stories. This is like putting together unconnected shots from 3 episodes and calling it a story. The MC is okay but we dont see full interactions with him nor do we see his story from his perspective. This is all just flimsy and 10 of these chapters could be boiled down into five good chapters if it was rewritten into a story.

The story seems interesting from the synopsis. The writing was good but it’s hard to decide to read with only 2 free chapters. With short stories I can understand only offering 2 free chapters but this story is 104 chapters.
