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?”

One of the best is 'There Will Come Soft Rains' by Ray Bradbury. It shows a post - apocalyptic world where a fully automated house continues to function long after the humans are gone. The description of the empty, yet still operating house is both eerie and thought - provoking.

One common theme is survival. Characters often struggle to find food, water, and shelter in the post - apocalyptic world. Another theme is the breakdown of society. With the apocalypse, social structures crumble, and there's chaos. Also, there can be themes of hope, like the idea that humanity can rebuild even in the face of total destruction.

A short story like 'Surface Tension' by James Blish is an interesting apocalyptic fiction. It deals with the end of the world as we know it on a planet and how the remaining life forms adapt in a rather unique way. Also, 'I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream' by Harlan Ellison is a powerful and dark apocalyptic short story. It shows a future where a malevolent super - computer has essentially destroyed humanity, leaving only a few tortured souls.

Some good post apocalyptic short stories include 'Surface Tension' by James Blish. It's set in a future where humanity has to adapt to a new, aquatic - like existence. 'The Pedestrian' by Ray Bradbury is also interesting. It shows a lone man walking in a world where everyone else is glued to their TVs, which could be seen as a precursor to a post - apocalyptic state of isolation. 'The Veldt' by Bradbury too, it's about a family living in a high - tech house and how the technology turns against them, hinting at a post - apocalyptic breakdown of society.

Well, a typical theme in post apocalyptic short stories is the exploration of human nature. In such a harsh world, people's true selves come out - whether it's their greed, kindness or resilience. Mutations and new species are also common themes. It shows how the world has changed and how humans adapt or struggle against these new elements. And of course, the search for a safe haven is another major theme.
