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?”

#Not playing by the rules, wildly dragging the bossy young lady of Chu Tianba × The Lord God who is soft and cute on the surface but paranoid and dark on the inside # #The Son of the Heavenly Axiom doted on by thousands of worlds x The Supreme Law God of thousands of worlds #Life is constantly going up and down. After Zhiyi spread to various worlds, she wanted to take a vacation and experience the style of other worlds. The thing she wanted to do the most was to lie on her 800-square-meter bed and look at the sea outside. She also wanted to bully the honest and ignorant local Son of Heavenly Axiom. At some point, a person appeared beside her. Every part of his body was Zhiyi's ideal type. It was simply an ideal type that was tailor-made for her. Zhiyi wanted to stay away from him awkwardly, but she could not help but be attracted and want to get close to him. Yi Chuan deliberately created a character that Zhiyi liked the most, and knelt in front of Zhiyi to pray for love in a soft voice. Zhiyi felt that she could. Later on, the world fell into darkness, and all the things she liked disappeared. Zhiyi sensed that the person behind her was holding her in his arms. His arms tightened inch by inch, and his body trembled slightly as if he was afraid and excited. His almost infatuated words were gentle and creepy. He seemed to be sighing softly beside her ear and couldn't help but kiss Zhiyi's wrist. His voice was blurry and wet." Mine." "Ah Yi belongs to me…" A Yi: F * ck you. [Demining] 1.

I'm a villain, I'm evil

Pure Evil Villain Female Lead *"True, Good, and Beautiful" Green Tea Male Supporting Actor (cannon fodder) [New Year's Eve/Not Pure Ancient Words/Sweet Pet/Scum Abuser/1v1SC/Black Plains Male and Female Lead/Female Lead's Vicious Villain] Mo Lian, who was heavily injured and unconscious, had a dream. In the dream, the world was a huge and thick book of words. All the order revolved around the male and female protagonists, and she was the strongest villain here. In the end…she died an unnatural death. Since he was a villain and knew his ending, how could he be a qualified vicious villain if he did not change it? She would definitely crush anyone who tried to stop her from living in the future. * Zi Sangyue and Mo Lian were two extremes. If Mo Lian was said to be a poisonous snake born under the Buddha, dark, vicious, and cunning, then Zi Sangyue was a god who was born to give hope and warmth to all living beings. Viper wanted to make the gods remember her kindness for the rest of their lives, but the gods fell. Zi Sangyue had once sworn not to kill anyone, but he had broken his vows and killed many people for Mo Lian. "Didn't you say you'd rather die than hurt people?" I thought you would come up and block the knife for me. However…the current situation is very interesting." Zi Sangyue stared at the poisonous snake that had trapped him. She smiled gently."My wife doesn't want me to get hurt. They want to hurt my beloved wife, so this is the only way." Mo Lian thought,…Alright, but since when did he become so familiar with calling her "Madam"? [It's not purely an ancient saying. In the later stages, it will involve the Reincarnation Demon God. This male protagonist is still a god, in charge of reincarnation!] [Male Lead: Zi Sangyue (Ghavan)]
