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?”

Why must the devil be Defeated?

“I’m a warrior from the alternate universe.” “The Goddess summoned me to this world to defeat the Devil that has imperiled the world and to restore peace to the world.” “I understand that it’s my cardinal duty. Since I’ve been summoned to become a Warrior, I’ll do my best to beat my opponent even if he’s the almighty Devil.” “Don’t ask me why. That’s what the book says.” “But… isn’t this development straying from the plot?!” This is the beginning of a scam in an alternate universe. It is also the story of a warrior with a mission to defeat the Devil. At the end, he realized that he had been duped instead.

Rabbit Must Die

Ever since a despicable rabbit arrived at the Heavenly Court, banners have been hung up in the residences of all the major Immortals: beware of fire, theft, and rabbits. At the same time, the God of Food's Complete Rabbit Cooking Guide started selling like hotcakes. One could often see a bunch of Immortals waving various magic treasures, chasing a rabbit all over everywhere, shouting, "Although group beating is unfair, we can lose face, the rabbit must die!" Passerby A: Why is that rabbit so freaking famous? Almost all the Immortals know him, is it because he's cute? Passerby B: No! It's because he's a jerk! No, that's inaccurate, he's totally a mega jerk!

Fortunately, Little Dough was raised early

Ancient Sweet Words 1v1 Father doesn't love mother doesn't love cold-faced little general vs eccentric white sweet prime minister's daughter Everyone knew that the Lin family of the prime minister's residence in the capital had a Fourth Miss who had just been brought back from the countryside. They had heard that she was plain and rude, but no one in the capital had ever seen her before. It was only then that everyone knew that the Lin Fourth Young Mistress was such a beautiful woman. She had bright eyes, white teeth, and a smile like a flower. Although she wasn't considered to be devastatingly beautiful, her average appearance was simply ridiculous! Look, her every move was full of the dignity and nobility of a young lady from a noble family! "I heard that because Fourth Miss Lin has been raised in the countryside, she has no manners at all! You don't know anything about music, chess, calligraphy, and painting!" Who said that! If you stand out, I'll beat you to death! Lu Jiangyu was a calm and reserved person. He was used to not showing his emotions on his face, but because Lin Kongnian praised his smile, he repeatedly trained his facial muscles. At first, he thought that having such a sister would make his originally boring life more colorful. He did not expect that this little white dumpling would grow up to be so slim and elegant. Lu Jiangyu rubbed his hands together every day and counted the days. When he achieved a great achievement, he would marry the little dumpling! What a joke. How could I give up the dumpling that I raised painstakingly to someone else? Lu Jiangyu: Although it's a little unruly, why does it look more and more adorable? Lin Kongnian thought,[I'm so bored. Why isn't Lu Jiangyu here to play with me yet?] The female protagonist is slow to love, and the wooden spirit male protagonist becomes a spirit (note, this is not an immortal cultivation novel!) Constantly swindling the female lead and finally getting the beauty.
