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."

The European King's little baby built a city in the end of the world

With the descent of the evolution code, the world would change and everything would be overturned. Was it evolution and rebirth, or destruction and extinction? Is this what you think? NO! What if they were homeless and had nowhere to live? "Sister, don't worry. We can build a city." The price of land was sky-high. What if there were not enough resources? "Sister, look, I got a coupon. It's a 10% discount!" … A certain someone thought,"Hmph, no matter how powerful the apocalypse is, it can't be as powerful as me, the European King." Facing the sudden changes in the world, the birth of new species, and the dangerous apocalypse. Ye Xingyue relied on her luck to become the final winner, hehe n(* Greatest ▽ Greatest *)n -- Fragment: Ye Xingyue had nothing left to live for."As the City Lord, I'm actually heavily in debt. It's too difficult for me!" In the next second, the butler elf congratulated the City Lord. The debt had been paid off. Looking at the barren scenery, Ye Xingyue cried."There's only the City Lord's Mansion, but there's no place to live. Can it be any worse?" In the next second, the City Lord's Mansion was completely renewed. It was ancient and beautiful. Ye Xingyue was in a sorry state."These wild beasts are getting harder and harder to fight. Their equipment is getting harder and harder to drop." A certain someone looked at the pile of resource equipment that had just dropped in his backpack and silently clicked send. -- A different apocalypse, a different female lead, a different path to becoming king.
