forgiveness in families by alice munro short story

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?”

Genfødt som den Rigeste Families Geniale Søn

Efter 600+ kapitler, er her hvad du kan forvente. Først og fremmest har jeg i løbet af denne roman lært og forbedret min evne til at skabe historier. Desværre kan du først se denne forbedring flere hundrede kapitler inde, omkring de sene 300'ere og tidlige 400'ere. Og denne ændring kommer før en historieark, der er dårlig i forhold til mine seneste historiearker. Du føler dig måske fristet til at stoppe inden da. Du føler dig måske fristet til at stoppe, selv før du når hundrede kapitler. Du tænker måske, “Åh, der er ingen action, den er kedelig, og alt er let for vores hovedperson.” Men hvis du holder ved, vil du se den sande vision, jeg har for romanen. Kongerigsopbygning, action-fyldt og nok 'slice-of-life' til at varme jeres hjerter til overgear. Hvis du hører ordene, DIVA, AUBILITIES og METROPOLIS, så er du ved at træde ind i, hvad jeg mener, er mine bedste store historiearker, jeg har skrevet indtil videre. Metropolis-arken er toppen. Her er, hvad du kan forvente: — Action: Ja. Der er en ny og spændende ændring i de senere kapitler, som har givet plads til en masse action. — Kongerigsopbygning: Absolut. Jeg vil indrømme, at der i de tidligere kapitler er stort behov for forbedring. Men jeg mener, at jeg har formået at rette op på de fleste af dem i de seneste kapitler. — Slice-of-life: Jeps. Hvis du elskede romanen for dens 'slice-of-life', så kan du være sikker på, at det vil fortsætte selv i de allerseneste kapitler. — Romantik: Denne del, vil jeg indrømme, har brug for en del forbedring. Men det er fordi, de stadig er børn i romanen, så jeg holder mig stadig fra noget virkeligt romantisk. Dog kan romantikken i denne roman for nu tilskrives kærligheden til familie og venskaber. Jeg håber, jeg har kunnet overbevise dig om at begynde at læse min roman. ——————— Michael blev pludselig genfødt ind i en anden verden af en Gud på grund af en ulykkelig død. For at råde bod på dette, gav Guden ham et nyt liv i en fantasyverden med sværd, magi og monstre. Desværre viste det sig, at den verden, han blev genfødt i, stadig var fast i middelalderen. Den havde ikke elektricitet, den havde ikke ordentlig kloakering, og den havde ingen af den teknologi, han var så vant til fra sin gamle verden. Men takket være Gudens velsignelse og en AI-assistent ved navn ChatJK1, fik han evnen til at GØRE sit liv behageligt. Langsomt forvandler Michael denne nye verden til et sted, der er endnu bedre end hans forrige, ved at tage idéer fra den moderne verden og implementere dem i denne verden, med den ekstra bonus af magi.

Reincarnated and Regressed Villain - Make heroines beg for forgiveness

"So, Diana, what's your excuse for betraying me?" His amber glinted eyes bore into the woman with bloodied, broken blue hair, kneeling in complete disarray. "... you're evil." "Oh, so, looking out for all of you makes me evil?" The man narrowed his eyes, contemplating the echoes of protagonist halos and heroines' mentality, starkly real now. Coming from a world far removed from such grim reality, he had read about these personalities in novels, but experiencing their shortcomings firsthand was a different story. "How am I evil?" He looked down at his foot where a young man, limbless and crushed, lay in a state of complete brokenness, mustering the little strength he had left to utter some words. "... y.. you ba..stard, You killed millions." Hearing these words, the man's internal amusement grew at the absurdity of these hypocritical people. He had eradicated all the evil organizations within the Empire after ascending to his throne. Wars were waged to crush rebellious kingdoms that stood against his Empire, uniting the entire Heidal Continent under one flag—the Selvius Empire. He shifted his gaze towards another woman with pink hair, her body completely broken, supported by a rock to maintain a semblance of balance amidst the devastation. "Hmm, so what about you, Karina? Wasn't your family about to be executed by the Aidiac Royal family? Is it wrong for me to have intervened?" "You killed them without mercy, and although you saved my family, it was not worth it." "I just saved—" "It's bullshit. You could have solved everything peacefully without drawing so much blood." Hearing all this, the man began to understand why those novels depicted these people as hypocritical and low in intelligence. If he hadn't saved them, they would have suffered the most gruesome fate. Yet, despite being saved, these ungrateful individuals chose to blame him. The bitter irony of their ingratitude gnawed at him, leaving a bitter taste in his mouth. "Guess you all have the same reasons." The man looked towards the seven people, their disdainful gazes directed at him. He had only aimed to change their fates, to rescue some from slavery, others from crippling circumstances, and a few from inevitable betrayal. Yet, they all blamed him for saving them, unable to comprehend that he had severed the root causes that would have subjected them to excruciating suffering. "Hahaha." "Indeed, now I see." He now understood what those novels had tried to convey—'these idiots think this whole world works like they think it would.'

"Kiss me, Cole," I begged, my head sinking back into the seat. "I…" He leaned in just a little, his lips close enough for me to taste his breath, but then he stopped. "Not now, Mia," he said with that smug voice. His hand trailed lower, gliding over my belly, fingers slipping under the waistband of my trousers. He didn't even hesitate—his fingers dipped lower, brushing over the wetness soaking through my panties. "Damn," he groaned in my ear. "You're fucking soaked."

Has the tyrant's gorgeous beauty turned black?

Du Zhiruo didn't know until he died that he was just a character living in a sadistic book. It was because of Bai Yueguang's early tragic death that the paranoid tyrant couldn't forget. However, she was already dead. What was ridiculous was that someone told her that she had put it on wrongly and had to put it on again. The script that truly belonged to her should be that vile, vile, and vile supporting actress who was greedy for vanity and could not get what she wanted! What the hell was this? She had been arrogant all her life and was not even afraid of death. In the end, she was going to be beaten into dust after being reborn? How could this be! So what if she was a vicious supporting actress? Want her to follow the script? That was impossible, impossible in this lifetime! This time, not only did she want to rewrite her own life, but she also wanted to rewrite the ending of the entire story! * The sadistic female protagonist who hated her the most was her strongest support. The cold-hearted second male lead who despised her the most was her best ally. Even the tyrant who had never looked at her in the eye would become her tool, change his tyrant habits, and become a wise monarch. She was the one and only gorgeous beauty in the book. She could go to the battlefield, take the head of the general among the tens of thousands of troops, and intimidate the barbarians in all directions. She could dominate the world, turn the tide, and turn the rotten into the magical. * Seeing that everything was developing in the direction she had expected, she wanted to retire successfully, but she was once again pestered by the tyrant who had turned over a new leaf. She carried the small bag that was ready to run away and said,"If you come any closer, I'll kill you!" In the end, he straightened his neck and smiled even more sinisterly than she did, thinking,'I've washed myself clean. Kill me!' Don't worry, I won't let you off even if you become a ghost! Don't even think about escaping in this lifetime!
