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?”

Some good dark sci - fi short stories include 'The Cold Equations' by Tom Godwin. It's about a spaceship pilot who has to make a very tough decision when he discovers a stowaway on his ship that he can't afford to keep alive due to fuel limitations. 'Surface Tension' by James Blish is set in a future where humans have been reduced to microscopic size and face all kinds of challenges in their new, strange world. 'Ender's Game' by Orson Scott Card also has some very dark elements, especially in the later parts when Ender discovers the true nature of the 'games' he has been playing.

A prevalent theme in dark sci - fi short stories is the exploration of the unknown. Stories often take place in far - flung futures or strange alien worlds where the rules are different. This is seen in 'The Star' where the discovery of the alien civilization challenges the astronauts' beliefs. Another theme is the loss of humanity. In 'Flowers for Algernon', Charlie slowly loses his new - found intelligence and his sense of self. Also, the idea of power and control is common, like in 'The Cold Equations' where the pilot has to enforce the cold, calculated rules for the survival of the mission.
