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?”

[Secret: Day and Night of Struggle with the Research Society]

When the curly-haired baboon Suya woke up, he realized that he had transmigrated to the Lord of the Mysteries. And the cheat that he brought with him was actually the Curly Hair Baboon Research Society's potion upgrade system that countless curly-haired baboons had ridiculed countless times. Suya silently looked at the warehouse full of High-and Mid-Sequence Beyonder characteristics/ingredients in his interface, speechless. I'm a lucky guy, so why are you giving me the Miracle Invoker Beyonder characteristic? P.S. This was a game, purely because he couldn't get the blind box and kept getting high-Sequence materials that weren't of the same Sequence. However, he couldn't get any of the materials of the same pathway, so he started writing in grief and indignation. The main character is the hot-tempered elder brother of the Fate pathway, a mixed-blood bear. The main character is a gentle and violent European King [?] [DPS: Join the Tarot Club and pet all the cats.] Without a female lead, who would date the Lord of the Mysteries?
