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?”

What are the characteristics of classic short ghost stories?
Well, one characteristic is that they can play on our fears. They might involve things like ghosts, witches, or other supernatural entities. They also tend to be set in isolated or eerie locations, such as a deserted cemetery or an old, abandoned mansion. In addition, classic short ghost stories often rely on a sense of mystery. The reader is left wondering what exactly is going on until the end when all is revealed. They may also use elements of foreshadowing to build up the anticipation. For instance, a character might notice a strange symbol early on, and later it turns out to be related to the ghostly events. This keeps the reader engaged and on the edge of their seat.

What are some of the best classic short ghost stories?
One of the best is 'The Monkey's Paw' by W.W. Jacobs. It's about a family who comes into possession of a mummified monkey's paw that has the power to grant three wishes, but with terrifying and unforeseen consequences. Another great one is 'The Tell - Tale Heart' by Edgar Allan Poe. The narrator's descent into madness as he tries to convince the reader of his sanity while he has just murdered an old man because of his 'evil eye' is both chilling and thought - provoking.
