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?”

I Made Beast-taming Widespread Across The Globe

“Boss. Aren’t you too greedy? You are selling this husky mutt for 500,000?” A cute girl in a ponytail held a husky puppy, whose eyes looked exceptionally wise, in her arms as she glared at Lin Ye. Her gaze was accusing him of being a dishonest trader. Lin Ye explained, “Miss, I have to formally inform you: this is not a husky mutt.” The girl retorted, “Don’t you dare trick me.” “I’m serious. It has the bloodline of Cerberus. Its potential is limitless.” The girl was stunned by Lin Ye’s words. After pondering for a moment, she realized that what he said was absurd. Agitated, she yelled, “Are you sure? I don’t believe it!” Lin Ye gestured at the husky in her arms as he said, “Little fella, get down and show your future owner what you can do. Go!” “Woof!” The girl shrieked in horror as she witnessed the little husky spit out a fireball the size of a fist. …… Many years later, Lin Ye has crowned the Father of Beast-taming of the Blue Planet. When he was interviewed, he said forlornly, “It all started with a husky mutt.” At the same time, in a mansion, a gigantic red dog with three heads sneezed.

I have no idea why this has no reviews at all for what is turning out to be a wonderful story, so here I am. Wonderful writing quality, stable 1 chapter per day update rate, amazing plot development and characterization, and well, modern day stuff with detail. 5⭐️ for all. Like the Caitlyn’s other stories, it shows how difficult but wonderful the strength to move on is. To put it short, the bridge of connection and love blooms beautifully. Not as blatantly funny as her AI story, but the fluff and warmth is greater.

The characters and stories that appeared in the book mostly belonged to a parallel world and had nothing to do with the real world. If you found someone you were familiar with, it would just be a coincidence. Or rather, there was another person in the parallel world, but their life trajectories were different. Of course, if they were exactly the same, it would be a coincidence. From this point of view, they were not the same person.
