Pampered by the Toughest Man After Divorce

(My new book "Sweet Love in the Countryside: His Little Plum of the Mountains" is out now, please add it to your collection) The village leader's son bullied her too much — in order to break off their engagement, he pushed her into a large water tank. She defiantly declared in front of the village leader's son that she would rather marry the ugliest man in the village than marry him! That hunchbacked, ugly man, the so-called "freak," actually approached her: "Does your declaration still stand?" "Uhm..." And so, while you hunt, I water the vegetables; while you farm, I do the embroidery. Together, we work hard, become prosperous, and live a colorful and thriving life. However, this man who can hunt in the mountains, farm on land, and ride the waves on a boat is not as simple as he seems... he is actually...

Loved By An Older Man

The betrothal gift is two million bucks, not a single cent less. Jiang Yu is already eighteen years old and can get married now. Send the money to my card, and this matter is settled!" Jiang Yu looked at her mother, who was talking non-stop on the negotiation table. She watched as her mother named her price as she sold Jiang Yu. Jiang Yu could not believe it. Eighteen years ago, they brought the wrong baby home from the hospital, and Jiang Yu, the real daughter of a wealthy family, ended up in an orphanage until a year ago. Jiang Ran, the fake daughter of the Jiang family, grew up with a silver spoon in her mouth. With superior resources since she was young, she was more outstanding than Jiang Yu in every aspect and became the pride of the Jiang family. Jiang Yu, who wandered most of her time in the outside world, was nothing but a country bumpkin who made her mother a laughing stock in the socialite circle. However, Jiang Yu had no idea how great her mother's hatred for her was. On the day she turned eighteen, her mother 'sold' her with a named price. Jiang Yu said, "If you want to marry your daughter to someone else, it should be Jiang Ran. I'm your real daughter. You're the one who mistakenly brought Jiang Ran home!" Her mother replied, "Shut up. I wish I hadn't given birth to you. You've brought nothing but shame to me!" Jiang Ran said, "Big Sis, everything Mom does is for your own good. Don't blame Mom." Her mother said, "I'm convinced she's nothing but a debt collector who's come to me to collect her debts! Either you give me two million bucks, or you get married obediently!" Jiang Yu left home in despair. By a freak combination of factors, she found herself accidentally marrying a Mr. CEO. From then on, the thirty-year-old man pampered his eighteen-year-old wife to the heavens. The little girl said, "Mister, someone bullied your wife!" The man, "Which incompetent fool is so blind that he dares to bully you?"

Ah! how little knowledge does a man acquire in his life. He gathers it up like water, but like water it runs between his fingers, and yet, if his hands be but wet as though with dew, behold a generation of fools call out, 'See, he is a wise man!'

After breaking off the engagement, I was favored by the emperor and became the demon queen

She was the eldest daughter of the Medicine Order's Yan Family. She had been pampered since she was young and was kind-hearted. Unexpectedly, a calamity descended from the heavens and her family was destroyed. She was tortured to death. After a rebirth, she became the Eldest Miss of the West Lan Nation's Marquis of Rong 'an's estate. She swore that she would send all her enemies to hell. Hatred overwhelmed her rationality, and she became stubborn and cruel. Her hands were stained with blood…The old woman in the residence was disrespectful to her." Bury her!" Her fiancé betrayed her." Another day I want to bury him!" The aunt schemed." Bury her son!" An Emperor who was preparing to become a monk did not know that his life was already in the hands of others. Many years later, the Emperor was glad that he still had some looks. Otherwise, he would not have been able to return to the Palace alive. The Emperor thought that he was already violent and cruel enough, but he did not expect that the little woman he had accidentally provoked had a vicious look in her hair. He had provoked her, so he would spoil her. She wanted to investigate the Yan Clan's extermination case, and he handed over the Supreme Court and the Ministry of Justice. If she wanted to be pampered alone, he would leave the harem empty for her. She wanted to take the head of the Northern Yan Emperor, and he had mobilized the entire country's military forces to guard the border of the two countries to protect her...

The soft and sweet little cutie was spoiled by the general

The new book, Shocking! The weakest in the galaxy, she picked up the battleship with her bare hands again."Babies, come and watch." When they first met, he only said one sentence. "Dig a hole and bury it." The bone-chilling voice was like the sound of nature to her. It was also the most touching thing she had heard since she was dumped. "Yes, General." She learned his identity from his attendant. He was the cold-blooded general whom she had broken off the engagement with. If there was a chance, she would definitely repay him for burying her bones. Later, she was reborn and married him. Everyone said that Wan Yanji was born with a murderous aura, cold-blooded and heartless, and he killed people like flies. He was very scary. After that, everyone saw the General's wife, who had a ruddy complexion. They also saw the General's wife being bullied and the General's family coming out to seek justice for her. It was said that the other party was the young master of the High Duke's Public House, but he was beaten so badly that he did not even dare to acknowledge his parents. Behind the crowd, the servants of the General Manor could always hear the General's wife asking timidly. "Is the general still alive?" "The general has returned triumphantly?" "The other side has never fought a general before?" "Madam, do you really wish for the General to die so badly?" The servants could not help but ask. Bai Lixin nodded without thinking." Of course. I'll bury him after he dies." This way, she would be done repaying him. Everyone was speechless.
