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?”

"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."

Suitable for short stories. The only criticism is that too much content is cut out, and there should be more words per chapter. ,............

The short story is a crafted form in its own right. Short stories make use of plot, resonance, and other dynamic components as in a novel, but typically to a lesser degree. While the short story is largely distinct from the novel or novella (a shorter novel), authors generally draw from a common pool of literary techniques. Short story writers may define their works as part of the artistic and personal expression of the form. They may also attempt to resist categorization by genre and fixed formation. Short stories have deep roots and the power of short fiction has been recognised in modern society for hundreds of years. The short form is, conceivably, more natural to us than longer forms. We are drawn to short stories as the well-told story, and as William Boyd, the award-winning British author and short story writer has said: "[short stories] seem to answer something very deep in our nature as if, for the duration of its telling, something special has been created, some essence of our experience extrapolated, some temporary sense has been made of our common, turbulent journey towards the grave and oblivion".[2] In terms of length, word count is typically anywhere from 1,000 to 4,000 for short stories, however some have 20,000 words and are still classed as short stories. Stories of fewer than 1,000 words are sometimes referred to as "short short stories", or "flash fiction".[3]

A long whip is a good sword

Before she took off her mask, her male god would spar with her every day, and she would be tortured to death under his clothes every day. Of course, she was ranked fourth on the leaderboard. How could she beat the first? After taking off the mask, they sparred again. "Weren't we having a good time fighting before? Why can't you do it?" "You weren't mine before, but you are now." …… In the fantasy holographic online game world, there was a huge nightmare conspiracy. Should he live in the cruel reality, or should he not wake up from the beautiful dream he had woven? In this online game world, there were a total of five worlds: the human world, the demon world, the demon world, the immortal world, and the undeveloped world. The fifth realm was an open game that players had to find themselves. There was actually a man-made bug at the entrance to the Fifth Realm. The person trapped in this bug would never wake up in reality. A mysterious white deer and a clear spring water. As long as he looked into the white deer's eyes, it was as if he would fall into it. …… She held two whips in her hands and claimed that she would never play the role of a tank in the party (pulling the enemy's aggro onto herself and blocking damage for her teammates). For him, she made an exception. …… He looked into her eyes. Little Yuan, you want to be the hero of this world, but I only want to protect you." Why was this man so damn flirtatious? Why didn't she notice it before she took off her mask?
