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?”

"Kiss me, Cole," I begged, my head sinking back into the seat. "I…" He leaned in just a little, his lips close enough for me to taste his breath, but then he stopped.

Another one. The proverb 'The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now.' There's a story where a farmer was always lazy and postponed planting new trees on his land. He thought there would be a better time in the future. One year, there was a drought, and he realized that if he had planted trees earlier, they could have helped prevent soil erosion and provided some shade. So, he finally started to plant trees right away, learning the lesson from the proverb.

One way to use proverbs effectively in short stories is to have a character embody the opposite of the proverb. For instance, with the proverb 'Honesty is the best policy'. You can have a character who lies all the time in the story. As the story progresses, all the problems that come from his lying are shown, like losing friends and getting into trouble. This contrast with the proverb makes the story more engaging and drives home the importance of the proverb's message. Also, proverbs can be used to sum up a story's moral at the end. After telling a story about a person who wasted all their money on frivolous things instead of saving like the proverb 'A penny saved is a penny earned' suggests, you can end the story by restating the proverb to make the point clear.
