O Henry (April 23, 1862-July 2, 1910) was a famous American short story writer and dramatist. His works were humorous, ironic and tragic, and he was regarded as one of the founders of modern American short stories. Twenty Years Later was one of O. Henry's masterpieces, written in 1908. The story was about a man named Mark, who tried to rebuild his family after his wife died but encountered many difficulties. The ending of the novel with Malick's successful revenge was highly dramatic and touching. It was said that O. Henry's original intention in writing "Twenty Years Later" was to satirize social problems in the United States, such as poverty, racial discrimination, and the legal system. However, in the process of creation, he gradually realized that the characters and plots in this story had symbolic significance, so he decided to leave this story to the end to show his thoughts on social problems in a symbolic way. The background of "Twenty Years Later" was O. Henry's thoughts on social issues and his deep exploration of the complexity of human nature.

He once said to his best friend,"An Zhouwan is my life." He liked to say to others,"Food is the most important thing for the people, but I regard An Zhou's evening as the most important thing." Even though Lu Yiliang knew that he liked a thousand-year-old demon, even though he knew that An Zhouwan only treated him as her medicine, Lu Yiliang still loved him very much.

" But soon, I'll be old and yellow. You'll despise me." "Good-looking skins are the same, but interesting souls are one in a million. Don't worry, I like your soul." The female immortal smiled patiently. " But…" Lu Yiliang wanted to continue. " Shut up." An Zhouwan couldn't take it anymore." It's enough. I don't like trouble."

I'm a villain, I'm evil

Pure Evil Villain Female Lead *"True, Good, and Beautiful" Green Tea Male Supporting Actor (cannon fodder) [New Year's Eve/Not Pure Ancient Words/Sweet Pet/Scum Abuser/1v1SC/Black Plains Male and Female Lead/Female Lead's Vicious Villain] Mo Lian, who was heavily injured and unconscious, had a dream. In the dream, the world was a huge and thick book of words. All the order revolved around the male and female protagonists, and she was the strongest villain here. In the end…she died an unnatural death. Since he was a villain and knew his ending, how could he be a qualified vicious villain if he did not change it? She would definitely crush anyone who tried to stop her from living in the future. * Zi Sangyue and Mo Lian were two extremes. If Mo Lian was said to be a poisonous snake born under the Buddha, dark, vicious, and cunning, then Zi Sangyue was a god who was born to give hope and warmth to all living beings. Viper wanted to make the gods remember her kindness for the rest of their lives, but the gods fell. Zi Sangyue had once sworn not to kill anyone, but he had broken his vows and killed many people for Mo Lian. "Didn't you say you'd rather die than hurt people?" I thought you would come up and block the knife for me. However…the current situation is very interesting." Zi Sangyue stared at the poisonous snake that had trapped him. She smiled gently."My wife doesn't want me to get hurt. They want to hurt my beloved wife, so this is the only way." Mo Lian thought,…Alright, but since when did he become so familiar with calling her "Madam"? [It's not purely an ancient saying. In the later stages, it will involve the Reincarnation Demon God. This male protagonist is still a god, in charge of reincarnation!] [Male Lead: Zi Sangyue (Ghavan)]
