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, the main themes in 'To Build a Fire' are man versus nature and the consequences of hubris. The man in the story underestimates the power of the Yukon winter. He believes he can traverse the frozen landscape with just his dog and a few matches. This shows his overconfidence. As he struggles to build a fire in the frigid conditions, we see the power of nature asserting itself. The story also touches on the theme of isolation. The man is alone in the vast, cold wilderness, with only his dog as a possible companion, but the dog is more in tune with nature's danger than he is.

The theme of hubris is quite prominent. The man in 'To Build a Fire' underestimates the power of nature. He thinks he can easily traverse the frozen Yukon with just a few basic preparations. Also, the theme of isolation is there. He is alone in the vast, unforgiving wilderness, and this isolation amplifies his vulnerability.

The cultivation world isn't peaceful now.

Buddhist health, good temper × black-bellied, humorous, a little naughty Lu Rujiu accidentally transmigrated into the book and became the evil female supporting character in the immortal cultivation novel. The female supporting character did many evil things and coveted the male protagonist. She either died or was injured. Lu Rujiu wanted to cry but had no tears. Could she still be saved if she repented on the spot? In order to avoid the death ending, she tried her best to draw a clear line between herself and the male lead. She even pulled in a reliable junior brother, Chu Changfeng, to cover for her. In the end, she knew everything about the male lead, but she led a wolf into her house. Her ending was even more miserable than the original owner. … Chu Changfeng returned to the sect he had joined many years ago with a motive. He pretended to be a thorn in the side and fought all day long. However, he met an open-minded and easy-going senior sister. She had a gentle smile, but she was clear-headed and efficient when she did things. She was to his liking. He would go all out and try his best to please her. Just as he was about to bring the beauty home, his identity was exposed. " I have bad intentions. In order to save the devil cultivator and return to the sect, I dug up your ancestral grave to get close to you. Lu Rujiu, you can only blame yourself for being blind and not judging people clearly." Lu Rujiu wanted to cry, but she stopped. Why did he start scolding her? …… Later on, Lu Rujiu had indeed taken the old path of sacrificing female supporting characters. Chu Changfeng rushed over to stop her. He was travel-worn and cried his eyes out. It did not match Lu Rujiu's aesthetic standards at all. … Chu Changfeng's life plan was clear, but it did not include his Little Senior Sister who fell in love with the sect. He had resisted and struggled before, but in the end, he still admitted defeat. …… PS: 1. Immortals are casually cultivated. If there is a problem, the author will eat the setting. 2.

[Secret: Day and Night of Struggle with the Research Society]

When the curly-haired baboon Suya woke up, he realized that he had transmigrated to the Lord of the Mysteries. And the cheat that he brought with him was actually the Curly Hair Baboon Research Society's potion upgrade system that countless curly-haired baboons had ridiculed countless times. Suya silently looked at the warehouse full of High-and Mid-Sequence Beyonder characteristics/ingredients in his interface, speechless. I'm a lucky guy, so why are you giving me the Miracle Invoker Beyonder characteristic? P.S. This was a game, purely because he couldn't get the blind box and kept getting high-Sequence materials that weren't of the same Sequence. However, he couldn't get any of the materials of the same pathway, so he started writing in grief and indignation. The main character is the hot-tempered elder brother of the Fate pathway, a mixed-blood bear. The main character is a gentle and violent European King [?] [DPS: Join the Tarot Club and pet all the cats.] Without a female lead, who would date the Lord of the Mysteries?
