    Both the male and female leads are masters of ancient martial arts, both incredibly powerful, and belong to the cultivation genre. The female lead has two children in her first pregnancy, three in her second, three in her third, five in her fourth, and a son from her previous life. The story revolves around the female and male leads' past and present lives. The male lead dotes on his wife and children. Even when injured, his second personality is more afraid of his wife than usual, and his strongest support comes from his own offspring. Every child is incredibly strong. The eldest is a talisman master, the third, fourth, and fifth are weapon-refining masters, and the eighth son, Bao, possesses multiple talents and his spirit-controlling cultivation is phenomenal, even surpassing his parents at one point. The ninth son also has multiple talents, including precognition and beast-controlling. No child is born in vain. Before the male lead, spiritual cultivation was almost extinct. After him… all nine sons perfectly inherited spiritual cultivation, and there are even other once-in-a-millennium talents. The villains say the male lead has so many weaknesses in this life, how can he fight them? But it turns out they aren't weaknesses, they're all powerful figures. His sons, daughters, and wife are all powerful figures; there's no end to their support. The male lead dotes on his wife, and his cooking skills are superb, preparing meals for his wife and children every day. He doesn't get jealous of the children; at first, he dotes on both the children and his wife, but later he says there are too many children to spoil, so he'll spoil his wife the most. The eldest, eighth, and ninth sons are the most favored, and even the daughters are pampered. In a family that hadn't had daughters for centuries, suddenly there are five daughters, and the female lead is doted on by the entire male lead's family. Her status is exceptionally high; she could be kept even if the male lead were eliminated (the male lead's grandfather said that even if the female lead didn't want the male lead anymore, it wouldn't matter, they would remarry with her). It's not just the male lead who dotes on the female lead; the whole family dotes on her. This includes the elders, the male lead, and the children.

    A fantasy/mystical story. The female lead is the head of Yulong Mountain, a max-level cultivator. Both are strong characters. When they first go on a mission, the female lead wants the male lead to call her "Master" [laughs], and she always feels like she's about to be struck by lightning [facepalm]. Actually, the male lead is her deceased master. The female lead is a powerful cultivator, and the male lead, a short-lived ghost, is actually her master. In his past life, the male lead did what he did to save the female lead, but he didn't actually need to save her. The female lead was originally a princess of the underworld; her whole family was waiting for her to die so they could go home. However, she was saved by the male lead and had to go to the human world. Her brothers in the underworld are all very funny; one of them causes heavy rain in the underworld whenever he cries, so he has to be locked up by his eldest brother. The female lead's father is also a weirdo. The male lead is a celestial lord who can't seem to stop drawing out love threads. Watching this makes the female lead hungry; she wants to eat candied sweet potatoes.
