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?”

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]

Female Supporting Script

Many scenes, a dull and mediocre life, both lucky and sad. She was the one who dared to love and hate, and she was the one who was weak. Among the thousands of people, she was the only one in the world. She was a noble princess, but she was also a lowly and filthy poor person. In reality, she was holding a supporting role script, and she was the main character in the life script. She could distinguish between good and evil and choose between good and evil. She was ruthless, arrogant, and extravagant. She was notorious in history for being evil and kind. Who wrote the book of history? She was the representative of one of the ten million decadent thoughts. She was gentle and pedantic. She lived by relying on men when she was alive and did not cling to anyone after death. Cold and noble was the last adjective for her. The new force of her country's future, cowardice, concession, no progress, no repentance is synonymous with her? She was so ordinary that she was like a speck of dust. When faced with career, love, and dreams, her desire was stronger than her nature. When faced with gains and losses, she cared too much. When faced with beauty, her heart was filled with longing. In an era where material desires were rampant, how could she find herself?

After the blackening, the heaven-defying big shot is actually myself

[Cookie abuse + improper cultivation] Soft and cute, strong and strong, princess × gentle and affectionate, lord After a few lifetimes, the young princess of Nanling expressed that the person involved was very regretful. There were three specific reasons. One, the beauty who was picked up by the roadside was not allowed to acknowledge her brother. Please hug her directly and not let go, and call her "husband"! (There must be a predestined fate in the previous life, so we can meet in this life) Second, I don't want a free elder brother. My elder brother controls the wrong person and destroys the entire family. If I can start over, I will stay away from crazy criticism and become independent! (A gentleman like an orchid is just a facade. A black-bellied bigot will take your life to accompany him.) Third, to hell with his special fate, he should bear a heavy responsibility. Whoever wants this blessing can have it. This princess only wants to live a small life and live with the person she loves. (It is said that the shortcut to him is to open the door directly.) The young princess sighed deeply. Alas, it was a pity that there were no ifs. She patted the wolf cub in her arms and felt that she could still try to remedy the situation. Let's start with…our reunion after parting.
