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?”

Re: Tales of the Rune-Tech Sage

In a realm rife with war and conquest, only the strong and cunning may survive. Planar travel has become the determinant of strength. Nobles and powerhouses travel the myriad planes, invading and plundering them to increase their personal strength, grow their military might and fund their endless wars. A systems engineer and lifelong web novel reader is reborn as Alex Fury—a young noble dismissed as talentless by his own family. Struggling to awaken his family’s bloodline talents and the warrior potential his family expects of him, Alex is sent off to a Mage Tower. His fate is clear: forge a path for himself... or lose everything. Blending the system engineering and web novel knowledge of his previous life with the Rune knowledge of his new world, Alex Fury creates a revolutionary new form of magic unique to him... RuneTech Magic. From runic artificial Intelligence to interplanar communication networks; From rune-powered super soldiers to rune-crafted power armours (and mechas), from new energy sources to perpetual energy. With this marriage of science, technology and the arcane, Alex will usher in advances previously thought unattainable in his new world, and his old one. This is a tale of power, rebellion, ambition- and legacy. Empires will rise to crush him. Worlds will try to deny him. But with intellect, invention- and just a spark of madness, he will carve his name into history. Witness the birth of the Rune-Tech Sage, and the beginning of a legend that will echo across worlds.

A retold 'Cinderella' short story. This could be about how Cinderella manages to stay positive in her difficult situation. It may highlight her relationship with the animals in a more detailed way.

Can you recommend some fairy tales retold short stories for children?
Sure. 'The Three Little Pigs' retold as a short story can be great for kids. It can have more vivid descriptions of the pigs building their houses, like how the first pig quickly gathers straw and makes a flimsy house. And when the wolf comes, kids can learn about the importance of hard work as the wolf easily blows down the straw house but has a harder time with the brick house.

What are the characteristics of short fairy tales stories?
Well, short fairy tales stories tend to have a clear - cut beginning, middle, and end. For example, in 'The Gingerbread Man', it starts with the gingerbread man being made, then he runs away, and finally gets eaten. They also use a lot of repetition, which helps children remember the story better. Take 'The Three Billy Goats Gruff', the repeated crossing of the bridge by each goat is a good example. Moreover, they are full of imagination, creating magical worlds like in 'Alice in Wonderland' which can be considered a short - ish fairy - tale - like story.

How are short stories different from fairy tales?
Short stories can cover a wide range of themes and settings, and they don't always have a clear moral. Fairy tales tend to be more fantastical and aimed at children with definite moral takeaways. Also, fairy tales often follow traditional story structures.
