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?”

The social environment played a significant role in the origins of the British short story. As the British society was stratified into different classes, writers from different backgrounds had diverse stories to tell. For example, the upper class had their own intrigues and social norms, while the lower classes had their struggles and daily life experiences. These real - life situations provided rich material for short story writers. Also, the changing social values over time, such as the shift from a more religious - centered society to a more secular one, influenced the themes and tones of the early short stories.

The short story originated from different cultural backgrounds. In ancient Egypt, there were short narratives inscribed on papyrus. These were often related to religious beliefs or historical events. In Europe during the Renaissance, short stories became a means of exploring new ideas. Writers like Giovanni Boccaccio with his 'Decameron' contributed to the form. His collection of short stories had a great impact on European literature. The short story also emerged from the need to document local cultures. In Africa, for instance, there were tribal short stories that passed on the values and traditions of the tribes.
