the curious case of benjamin button short story

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."

It does take a little bit to figure out the style and what's going on, but it's worth it. The concept is so interesting, it's like the curious case of Benjamin button but normal, and I think that's such an interesting idea. The characters seem almost too calm sometimes, and it fits the story and the world so well. I really likes this.

I'm just testing this to see if I can post more than one review for the same story. It seems simplistic and idiotic if that's the case, but the review story button shows up, so who knows?

Master, please teach me again.

After transmigrating to the world of immortal cultivation, Lin Xiu entered the Green Cloud Dao Sect, the leader of the five great immortal sects. He thought that he would open the path of immortal cultivation, but he fell into deep thought as he looked at the entrance examination. " The first question: If you cause trouble outside, it might affect the sect's reputation. How would you sever your relationship with the sect and shift the blame to the other four immortal sects?" " Second question: If the disciples of the other four immortal sects killed the demonic path and obtained extremely high prestige, how could they make others mistake them as disciples of the Green Cloud Dao Sect and attribute all the prestige to the sect?" " Third question: If you were a spy sent by a sect to the other four immortal sects, and you went to secretly learn peerless martial arts but were discovered, how would you safely bring the martial arts back?" "The above are all ifs. Please answer boldly." One day, in the world of the Nine Prefectures, resentful cultivators gathered at the Green Cloud Daoist Sect's mountain gate and asked them to hand over the spy who had secretly learned. "Do you know who the spy is?" Big Sister asked Lin Xiu. "Is there anyone in our sect who isn't?" Lin Xiu replied in a daze. Big Sister nodded, indicating that it was true. ...... [Le Ziren][Big Brain][Wulitou] This book is also known as " About the matter of me breaking down in my elder studies and being sent to other sects as a spy "," I really didn't steal it, you guys taught it voluntarily ", and " I became the number one spy with my heaven-defying comprehension ".

If I can't become an immortal, I can only become a demon.

Chen Ren awakened a panel. The panel was very simple. Killing ghosts would make him stronger. However, he gradually realized that something was wrong. Every time he killed a ghost, a ball of Yin Qi would fuse into his body. As the level of Yin Qi on the interface gradually increased, Chen Ren felt that he was about to become a real ghost. Suppressing the Yin Qi from entering his body, a strange spider lily grew out of his chest. Every time the flowers bloomed, Chen Ren would go berserk… P.S.: This book is mainly about the plot, not about leveling up, and half of it has a black soul background. Soul scientists, don't take it too seriously. I've only borrowed a portion of the settings and some famous scenes.
