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, short gothic horror stories typically feature an atmosphere of dread. The lighting is often described as dim, with shadows lurking everywhere. The use of elements such as thunderstorms, howling winds, and creaking doors adds to the horror. The characters are usually in a state of isolation, either physically or psychologically. This isolation heightens the sense of fear as they have no one to turn to when the horror strikes. Also, there's often a moral or psychological decay at the center of the story, like in 'Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde' where the good doctor's moral fiber disintegrates.

Well, 'The Yellow Wallpaper' can be considered a gothic horror short story. It tells the tale of a woman's descent into madness in a rather creepy, isolated setting. Then there's 'The Black Cat' by Poe. This story is filled with dark themes like alcoholism, guilt, and the supernatural as the narrator's relationship with his cat takes a very sinister turn. Oh, and 'The Masque of the Red Death' by Poe as well. It has a very gothic feel with the plague and the prince's attempt to avoid death in his abbey.

Well, they often have an atmosphere of gloom. This is created through descriptions of dark places, like in 'Carmilla' where the castle has a very foreboding feel. There is also the presence of some sort of threat, whether it be a physical one like a monster or a more psychological one like the insanity in 'The Yellow Wallpaper'. Symbolism is also common, such as the black cat in Poe's story being a symbol of bad luck and the narrator's own dark side. And the pacing is important, usually starting slow to build up the tension and then leading to a terrifying climax.

Well, start by creating a creepy setting. Maybe an old abandoned mansion or a foggy cemetery. Add some mysterious characters with dark secrets. Also, build up tension slowly to keep the readers on the edge of their seats.
