Loved By An Older Man

The betrothal gift is two million bucks, not a single cent less. Jiang Yu is already eighteen years old and can get married now. Send the money to my card, and this matter is settled!" Jiang Yu looked at her mother, who was talking non-stop on the negotiation table. She watched as her mother named her price as she sold Jiang Yu. Jiang Yu could not believe it. Eighteen years ago, they brought the wrong baby home from the hospital, and Jiang Yu, the real daughter of a wealthy family, ended up in an orphanage until a year ago. Jiang Ran, the fake daughter of the Jiang family, grew up with a silver spoon in her mouth. With superior resources since she was young, she was more outstanding than Jiang Yu in every aspect and became the pride of the Jiang family. Jiang Yu, who wandered most of her time in the outside world, was nothing but a country bumpkin who made her mother a laughing stock in the socialite circle. However, Jiang Yu had no idea how great her mother's hatred for her was. On the day she turned eighteen, her mother 'sold' her with a named price. Jiang Yu said, "If you want to marry your daughter to someone else, it should be Jiang Ran. I'm your real daughter. You're the one who mistakenly brought Jiang Ran home!" Her mother replied, "Shut up. I wish I hadn't given birth to you. You've brought nothing but shame to me!" Jiang Ran said, "Big Sis, everything Mom does is for your own good. Don't blame Mom." Her mother said, "I'm convinced she's nothing but a debt collector who's come to me to collect her debts! Either you give me two million bucks, or you get married obediently!" Jiang Yu left home in despair. By a freak combination of factors, she found herself accidentally marrying a Mr. CEO. From then on, the thirty-year-old man pampered his eighteen-year-old wife to the heavens. The little girl said, "Mister, someone bullied your wife!" The man, "Which incompetent fool is so blind that he dares to bully you?"

Pampered by Short-Lived Bigshot

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?”

Another theme is the power of conformity. Society often pressures people to conform, and in these short stories, the main character resists that pressure.

What are the common themes in'man vs society' short stories?
One common theme is the struggle for individuality. In'man vs society' stories, the protagonist often tries to break free from the conformist mold that society has set. For example, in 'The Catcher in the Rye' Holden Caulfield rebels against the phony society he sees around him. Another theme is the fight for justice. The individual may oppose a society that is unjust or corrupt. In short stories like 'To Kill a Mockingbird' (which can be considered in part a man vs society story), Atticus Finch battles against the racist society in his town. Also, the theme of alienation is common. The character may feel alienated from society because of their different beliefs or values, like in Kafka's 'The Metamorphosis' where Gregor Samsa, after his transformation, is completely alienated from his family and the society he once belonged to.

What are the common themes in man vs nature conflict short stories?
One common theme is the insignificance of man. In short stories about man - vs - nature conflict, humans are often made to realize how small and powerless they are in the face of nature's vastness and might. Take 'The Open Boat' for instance, the men in the boat are at the mercy of the ocean, which makes them feel tiny and helpless. Another theme is adaptation. Characters are forced to adapt to nature's conditions, whether it's learning to find food in a new environment or building shelter against the elements. Also, there is the theme of respect for nature. Through the conflict, the characters (and the readers) often learn that nature should be respected and not taken for granted.

How can a man vs man conflict be effectively portrayed in a short story?
One way is through dialogue. For example, if two characters are arguing over a limited resource like in a post - apocalyptic story where they fight over the last can of food. Their words can show their different motives and values. Another way is through their actions towards each other. If one character tries to sabotage the other's efforts to win a competition, that shows the conflict clearly.
