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?”

This review is part of a review swap and valid as of chapter 19. First off, there are minor grammar mistakes but that's what they are - minor. Nothing that breaks the story or anything like that. There were also a few chapters wherein I had to reread a couple of times just for me to understand what was happening and who was saying what to whom. Again, nothing too major. For the story and the telling, it reminds me of Haruki Murakami's style. It focuses on the slice of life and the characters' reactions to the environment more than the setting itself. I was initially confused why some chapters were short, but it was explained later on that it was for the year 2040 chapters so it did make sense. The chapters are lengthy enough to contribute to the story, but not long enough for you to be bored. Stars: Writing quality is 4 because there were some confusing chapters that I had to focus more and reread a couple of times. However the flow has improved in the later chapters. Stability of updates is 5, daily updates says it all. Story development is 5. Like I said above, it heavily reminds me of Haruki Murakami which is one of my favorite authors. Character design is 5 because the characters are believable. You won't expect most of the main characters to be witty, however they have transmigrated to their younger years so it does make sense. World background is 5. It mainly depicts the year 2040 and their interactions at school, however the focus of this story is the characters. Thanks!
