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?”

[Random Novel Ideas]

Some random stories I come up with to keep my boredom away. Contains original novels and fanfics as well. They may become a novel I'll write if I like them enough or if there is a sudden rush of inspiration that takes over me. If you like one of them comment on it and I may consider writing more about it one day, I am highly sleep deprived so I guess I will someday if i do not commit suicide first.

The daughter of a favored general

"Your name is Chang Ning?" The young master in embroidered clothes smiled faintly like the sun in the clouds." Chang Ning can't compare to Chang Ning. How about I call you Chang Ning from now on?" The year she first met Jun Yihan, Yu Changning was only twelve years old. She was in the prime of her youth, and the gentle young master had bestowed her with a name that made her live half her life for him. The path she had walked in her life was too long and too full of twists and turns. It was impossible to describe the thousands of sails she had seen in a few short sentences. In her later memories, the past was too complicated, and some of them were even unclear. Other than that gentle young master who kept her by his side in the name of love, it seemed that there was only a young man in red who was always vivid and lively in her heart. She shook her head regretfully. Let love, hate, anger, and obsession go with the wind. This life was so sloppy and absurd. Don't miss it, don't think about it. Let's take advantage of the time to live in the present. Only then can we be free.
