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?”

Well, one of the characteristics is her use of language. Lorrie Moore has a very distinct writing style. In her best short stories, she plays with words and phrases, creating a rhythm that draws the reader in. The themes are usually contemporary and deal with everyday life situations but with a twist. For example, relationships are often examined from different angles, showing the messiness and beauty of human connections. Also, her stories sometimes have an element of the unexpected, which keeps the reader on their toes.

Tianxi Shengshi

An era that should not be buried by history. An emperor who should not be looked down upon by the past and present. The Five Dynasties ended, and the conflict continued. China welcomed another division of the north and south, and also welcomed the third generation of Zhao Song, Zhao Heng. Although the Chanyuan alliance had stabilized the regime of the Central Plains, the rumors of the three generations of improper positions were like ghosts in the middle of the night, wandering inside and outside the country. Thus, the orthodox Heavenly Book Movement was vigorously staged. Thousands of auspicious signs came. In this pursuit of fame and fortune, an extremely brilliant light came over a thousand years, turning into a cluster of flowers that bloomed only for the golden age. At the age of nine, he went to the court and the emperor personally tried him. Four years in the examination, the first in ancient and modern times. The five dynasties did not fall, and the reputation was mixed. The emperor called him "an example for all generations." The world called it "the auspicious sign of the Heavenly Dynasty."
