different ways to end a short story

Journey to the End of the Night

In the Kunlun Snow Palace, a sage once said, those who pass away wander, while the living cannot let go. Once the soul departs, it will wither like the autumn grass. Those who are reborn from the dead, existing apart from the mortal realm, shall be shunned by all celestial sects and smitten as undead demons. On this day, a youth awakens from within a coffin, his blood dry and his bones chilled, to find himself a century old upon opening his eyes. A single tear from a sage awaited, a constant companion, may unravel the dreams of the past. Seeking not immortality but a mundane death, not to lament with the ages over lost love and resentment, but only wishing to grow old with tenderness in this lifetime, beneath the white clouds that hold no envy for the heavenly realms.

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?”

I love the premise of the story and how interesting the different ways this story can go. Especially with how many reincarnates that have yet to be reborn. I hope this story makes it to the end.

However, when he walked out of the Purple Mansion, he realized that this Wilderness was a little different. It was filled with a barbaric aura. There was killing and chaos everywhere.

After experiencing the prosperity of the later generations, he wanted to do something, but he realized that he really couldn't do it. He was also afraid of death, so he could only do something secretly. Many years later, Dong Hua's cultivation had already reached the peak of the Untainted Land.

The man held the trophy and tilted his head slightly to the microphone in the host's hand. His eyes were fixed on the camera, and his magnetic voice echoed throughout the audience. “The winner is king。” The winner was king. We are the winners, and China is the king. * One night, Shen Qi called Memorial. "Hello? Commemoration." The other side was silent for a while. Shen Qi was about to continue with a memorial when he spoke. "How much?" Shen Qi: "???" How much? "What are you talking about?" Shen Qi frowned and asked. "So you're not here to borrow money." Memorial took a deep breath as if it was important. "Why did you say that I came to borrow money?" Shen Qi asked. Shen Qi heard the door close on the other end of the phone. Then, he answered," Usually, when people who haven't contacted you for a long time suddenly call, 90% of them are here to borrow money." Shen Qi was speechless.
