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?”

The Emperor's black moonlight has returned.

On the day that Emperor Gong Liquan of the Three Pure Regions ascended to the throne, he saw in the mirror of the future that Spirit Emperor Shaohao was about to destroy the world. He had wanted to descend to the mortal world to stop Shaohao from reincarnating, but he had caused her to die with a monstrous resentment, and then the soul fire returned to the Spirit Venerable's body. Emperor Gongli joined forces with the gods to form a killing array. They gouged out the heart of Shaohao's true body, cut off her head, and removed her wings and scales. All the gods thought that the future had been reversed, and even Shaohao felt that his soul would return to nothingness. However, she opened her eyes again and found that she had become a harmless little crow. In this life, she could only try to cultivate and kill her way back to the 33rd Layer of Heaven. She wanted the Three Pure Ones to have no True Gods and all the immortals to fall. And picking up her little immortal at Lishui Creek seemed to be an unexpected and also a part of her fate. The God of Creation had created her, a weapon that rebelled against all laws, and had long set the outcome of her death. Only this person called Wen Jingchan had tried everything to keep her alive. ------ Heart-sealing Lock, Love, Irascible Demon x Emotions Stable, Gentle, Little Immortal (I haven't decided whether to be or he yet. I'll tell you in the introduction after I save the manuscript.)
