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."

Has the tyrant's gorgeous beauty turned black?

Du Zhiruo didn't know until he died that he was just a character living in a sadistic book. It was because of Bai Yueguang's early tragic death that the paranoid tyrant couldn't forget. However, she was already dead. What was ridiculous was that someone told her that she had put it on wrongly and had to put it on again. The script that truly belonged to her should be that vile, vile, and vile supporting actress who was greedy for vanity and could not get what she wanted! What the hell was this? She had been arrogant all her life and was not even afraid of death. In the end, she was going to be beaten into dust after being reborn? How could this be! So what if she was a vicious supporting actress? Want her to follow the script? That was impossible, impossible in this lifetime! This time, not only did she want to rewrite her own life, but she also wanted to rewrite the ending of the entire story! * The sadistic female protagonist who hated her the most was her strongest support. The cold-hearted second male lead who despised her the most was her best ally. Even the tyrant who had never looked at her in the eye would become her tool, change his tyrant habits, and become a wise monarch. She was the one and only gorgeous beauty in the book. She could go to the battlefield, take the head of the general among the tens of thousands of troops, and intimidate the barbarians in all directions. She could dominate the world, turn the tide, and turn the rotten into the magical. * Seeing that everything was developing in the direction she had expected, she wanted to retire successfully, but she was once again pestered by the tyrant who had turned over a new leaf. She carried the small bag that was ready to run away and said,"If you come any closer, I'll kill you!" In the end, he straightened his neck and smiled even more sinisterly than she did, thinking,'I've washed myself clean. Kill me!' Don't worry, I won't let you off even if you become a ghost! Don't even think about escaping in this lifetime!

Counting with my fingers, I'm in trouble today.

Since Ateng had his own consciousness, he had been doing his own thing, arrogant and domineering. If someone got into trouble, they would take the blame and beat up whoever they didn't like. Until one day, Ah Teng picked up the son of an old friend. The little guy was talkative and used to making people happy. Ah Teng was in a good mood and simply took him in as his disciple. However, not long after, a little girl who claimed to be the female protagonist told her that she was the villain of a novel and that the one she picked up was the future male protagonist. They would kill each other in the future and die together. For the time being, it was recommended to stay away from them. Ah Teng looked at the obedient and sensible male lead, then at the so-called female lead. He smiled and gave a friendly suggestion." Is that so? Then why don't you stay away from me first? Otherwise, I won't be able to continue writing this book if I tell you…" [CP Attributes: High Force, Arrogant Big Boss Female Lead VS White Cut, Black Gentle Male Lead]

The host of Quick Wear, she's a professional at breaking up love lines

Jiang Wei was the beautiful and valiant executor in the space-time warp, but now she had become cannon fodder in countless planes. [System: Host, this is an ancient plane. You are dressed as a cannon fodder concubine who was hanged by a reborn woman.] In the end, the cannon fodder concubine tore down the love line between the scumbag emperor and the reborn woman and created a rebellion. System: " Host, this is the Xianxia Plane. You're dressed like a cannon fodder senior sister in the good-for-nothing engagement breaking trend." In the end, Jiang Wei used a wooden club to tear apart the scumbag and became a big shot in cultivation. "Huh?" Host, why is there a gigolo by your side? Jiang Wei: " Oh, the salted fish executor of the male band. He's just a random guy." The System asked,"Are you that kind?" Could it be that he was greedy… The system rubbed its head and said angrily,"Host, this is the apocalyptic plane. You're dressed as a female supporting character who was betrayed by your best friend." In the end, Jiang Wei crippled the female protagonist's cold-faced Young Master Jun with a wooden club… System: " Host, are you holding Godfather Qin's soul fragment?" Jiang Wei: " He's too lazy. I couldn't fly him successfully. Seeing how pitiful he is, I'll help him pick up the pieces and see if I can put them back together." The 1.85-meter-tall young man kabedon her with one hand and pressed his slender leg against hers. He raised his eyebrows and said," It's just convenient?" Jiang Wei raised his head and happened to meet a pair of cold and lonely eyes. His heart suddenly beat wildly. [PS: This article is mainly about abusing Su Shuang!] The female lead was not a saint! 1v1 pet!
