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?”

Reborn: In Her Unfinished Steps

At 29, Zoe Xu died in a fatal car crash. In her last moments, she saw her husband Hugh Pei hugging Lila Wei—his "true love"—and learned of her family’s bankruptcy. This became the cruel end to her marriage, which had started as a business alliance.​ But fate reset her life. Zoe woke up three months into her marriage, still unbroken by Hugh’s emotional neglect and clinging to a faint hope for their relationship. This time, the proud City A heiress refused to submit. She ignored Hugh’s coldness, handed him divorce papers first, and focused on reclaiming her family’s losses—her past love and hatred now gone.​ Yet things shifted. Hugh, who once treated home like a hotel, started returning on time and brought her hot coffee during late work nights. His odd behavior unsettled Zoe: was it the butterfly effect of her rebirth, or a new plot?​ A surprise waited at "Encounter Café": Lila Wei, whom Hugh cherished, worked there, smiling brightly. But Zoe saw pure innocence in Lila’s eyes—maybe this "true love" never knew she was a "weapon" against Zoe. As Hugh and Lila fell in love again, Zoe wondered: is revenge the only way?​ From endurance to strength, Zoe regained her family’s honor in business while untangling her emotions. Hugh’s late affection, Lila’s innocence, and her own self-discovery wove a complex web. She finally understood: rebirth isn’t about hatred, but choice—drown in the past, or chase a future that’s hers.​ This is a story of female awakening: when marriage’s illusion and the "perfect rival’s" halo break, a battle for self begins. Amid the city’s neon, two growing souls collide, bringing sweet-anguish emotional chess, a satisfying comeback, and courage to rebuild from ruins.​ This urban romance—mixing second chances, strong leads, and real reflections—will pull you in. Life has no true do-overs, but we always hold the power to rewrite our endings.

First, come up with an interesting idea. It could be a unique situation, a fascinating character, or an exciting event. For example, a girl discovers a magical door in her attic. Then, create a basic plot structure. Decide on a beginning, middle, and end. In the case of the girl, the beginning is finding the door, the middle could be her adventures behind the door, and the end is how she returns and what she's learned. Next, develop your characters. Give them personalities, goals, and flaws. The girl might be curious but also a bit clumsy. Finally, write in a clear and engaging way, using vivid language to bring the story to life.

The first step is to brainstorm ideas. You can draw inspiration from your own experiences, dreams, or things you've read. After getting an idea, make a rough plan of how the story will progress. Then start writing the opening. It should grab the reader's attention. For example, 'The door creaked open, and a cold wind blew in.' Next, build up the conflict in the middle part of the story. This keeps the reader interested. Finally, end the story with a bang, like a surprising revelation or a heart - warming resolution.

Begin by thinking about what you know well. It could be your hobbies, your family, or your hometown. If you choose your family, for example, you can think of an incident that was interesting or emotional. Maybe a family reunion. Then, figure out the main point you want to convey. Is it about the importance of family? After that, start creating your characters. Describe them in detail, like your grandmother's kind eyes and her warm hugs. Now, start writing the story, following a logical sequence of events, and end it with a meaningful conclusion.
