the gift of the magi short story

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?”

The forbidden inheritance of the Magi was his. All he had to do was live long enough to embrace it. Find my discord at discord.gg/hxTpqZQtKN

``` Habían pasado cientos de años desde que la humanidad y sus aliadas las Brujas se vieron obligadas a replegarse en las ciudades fortaleza tras la desastrosa guerra para eliminar a los Clanes Magi. Las armas nucleares habían quemado los cielos, y la Gran Magia hundió continentes enteros bajo los mares antes del fin, pero la victoria estaba asegurada, ningún Magi quedó con vida en su mundo lentamente recuperándose. O eso creían. Wolfe Noxus nació en los niveles inferiores de una ciudad fortaleza gobernada por el Aquelarre Morgana, criado bajo el resplandor de luces mágicas, con magia y tecnología entrelazadas en cada aspecto de su vida. Pero tras su decimoctavo cumpleaños, cuando un esquema rápido para enriquecerse lo llevó a la habilidad prohibida de usar los poderes de los Magi, toda su vida cambiaría. La herencia prohibida de los Magi era suya. Todo lo que tenía que hacer era vivir lo suficiente para aceptarla. Encuentra mi discord en discord.gg/hxTpqZQtKN ```

Erano passati centinaia di anni da quando l'umanità e le loro alleate Streghe erano state costrette a ritirarsi nelle città fortezza dopo la disastrosa guerra per eliminare i Clan Magi. Armi nucleari avevano bruciato i cieli, e la Grande Magia aveva trascinato interi continenti sotto i mari prima della fine, ma la vittoria era stata assicurata, nessun Magi era rimasto vivo nel loro mondo che lentamente si stava riprendendo. O così pensavano. Wolfe Noxus era nato nei livelli inferiori di una città fortezza gestita dalla Congrega Morgana, cresciuto sotto il bagliore di luci magiche, con magia e tecnologia intrecciate in ogni aspetto della sua vita. Ma dopo il suo diciottesimo compleanno, quando un piano per arricchirsi velocemente lo portò alla proibita capacità di usare i poteri dei Magi, tutta la sua vita sarebbe cambiata. L'eredità proibita dei Magi era sua. Tutto ciò che doveva fare era vivere abbastanza a lungo per abbracciarla.

Det var hundreder af år siden, menneskeheden og deres allierede Hekse var blevet tvunget til at trække sig tilbage til fæstningsbyerne efter den katastrofale krig for at eliminere Magi-klanerne. Atomvåben havde brændt himlen, og Storslået Magi trak hele kontinenter ned under havet før afslutningen, men sejren var sikret, ingen Magi var efterladt i live i deres langsomt genopbyggende verden. Eller det troede de. Wolfe Noxus blev født på de lavere niveauer af en fæstningsby styret af Morgana-klanen, opvokset under skæret fra magiske lys, med Magi og teknologi sammenflettet i alle aspekter af hans liv. Men efter hans attende fødselsdag, da et 'bliv rig hurtigt'-projekt førte ham til den forbudte evne til at bruge Magi'ernes kræfter, ville hele hans liv ændre sig. Magi'ernes forbudte arv var hans. Alt, han skulle gøre, var at leve længe nok til at omfavne den.

"Skat, jeg vil ikke have mere, jeg har det forfærdeligt..." "Baby, vær sød, tag nu din medicin." Den smukke mand omfavner kvinden i sine arme og lokker hende ømt, mens han giver hende medicinen. Qiao Mianmian støder tilfældigt ind i Mo Yesi, den mest ansete arving i hele Yuncheng By, og ender med at tilbringe natten med ham. Efter han tilbyder hende fordele i bytte for ægteskab, har den nyudnævnte fru Mo pludselig magten til at få alt, hvad hun nogensinde har ønsket sig. "Skat, jeg gav Filmens Dronning Cheng Feifei en lussing i dag, var det for meget?" "Baby, gør din hånd ondt? Lad mig massere den for dig." "Skat, jeg har brugt dit kreditkort til det yderste, er du sur?" "Baby, er du glad for dit køb? Bare sig til, når du har brug for mere." "Skat, jeg er træt i dag, jeg orker ikke at røre mig..."

Ved hendes bryllupsfest stormede en mand ind, der hævdede at være Selinas elsker, og viftede med såkaldte intime billeder og skabte kaos. Selina gennemskuede straks, at det var en intrige, iscenesat af hendes halvsøster, Natalia. Men Selinas forlovede, Ryan, nægtede ikke kun at tro på hende, men gjorde også alt for at forsvare Natalia. Det viste sig, at Ryan og Natalia allerede i hemmelighed havde udviklet følelser for hinanden. Alle – Selinas far, stedmor og Ryans forældre – kendte til deres affære, undtagen Selina, som blev holdt i mørket. Selinas far udnyttede situationen og foreslog at bytte brude, så Natalia skulle erstatte Selina og gennemføre brylluppet. Ryans familie gjorde ikke kun ingen indvendinger, men støttede helhjertet idéen. Det var i det øjeblik, Selina endelig indså den grusomme sandhed: hendes familie og Ryans familie var intet andet end ulve i fåreklæder! "Ophæve forlovelsen? Fint. Men lad det stå klart – det er mig, der afviser dig, din utro, rygradsløse undskyldning for en mand!" erklærede Selina med urokkelig selvtillid. Hendes blik gled derefter hen over lokalet og landede på en elegant og fornem mand. Hun huskede svagt, at han var Ryans yngre onkel. Hun gik hen til ham og spurgte dristigt: "Hr., hvad med at blive gift?" Manden løftede et øjenbryn, fascineret af hendes dristighed. "Det ville være mig en ære, frue," svarede han. ...

"You'll be my wife on paper only. You'll have everything—except my heart. You'll never be Marina." For five years, Lily lived as David's secret wife—his poised secretary by day, his invisible stand-in by night. Every cold touch reminded her she was just a replacement. Every whispered “Marina” cut deeper than the last. Then his ex returned. And without hesitation, David cast Lily aside like she meant nothing. So she did what she should have done years ago. She signed the divorce papers. She walked away. But now, David couldn't escape her absence. Her silence burned him in ways Marina never could. And suddenly, the man who swore he'd never love her was determined to get her back. By any means necessary. Even if it meant breaking her all over again. She paid the price for loving him once. Now, he'd pay for losing her forever.
