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?”

One common theme is the existence of ancient and powerful entities that are beyond human understanding. These entities often have a malevolent or indifferent nature towards humans. For example, Cthulhu in Lovecraft's stories is so powerful and alien that its very existence is a threat to the sanity of those who discover it. Another theme is the fragility of the human mind. When faced with the eldritch horrors, characters often go mad, as their minds cannot comprehend the reality they are exposed to.

Well, 'The Shadow Over Innsmouth' by H.P. Lovecraft is great. It follows a man who visits a strange seaside town filled with people who seem to have a disturbing connection to some deep - sea creatures. Then there's 'The Music of Erich Zann' which is about a strange musician in a garret whose music seems to hold back some unknown and terrifying forces. Also, 'The King in Yellow' by Robert W. Chambers has elements of eldritch horror, with its play that drives people mad who read it.

Azathoth is typically portrayed as a source of ultimate chaos in eldritch horror stories. It's not just about physical chaos, but also mental and spiritual chaos. It is often associated with a complete lack of order, with things like time and space becoming warped in its presence. It's like a black hole of sanity, sucking in the minds of those who come near. In addition, it is sometimes described as having a symphony of madness around it, a cacophony of sounds that further disorient and terrify anyone who hears it.

Themes like the unknown are really common. Eldritch horror stories often explore things that are beyond our knowledge. It could be a strange dimension or a power that we can't even begin to fathom. Madness is another one. People in these stories tend to go mad when they encounter the eldritch horror. It shows how our minds can't handle such extreme and alien things. And there's also the theme of a hidden world that exists parallel to ours, full of these terrifying and indescribable things.
