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?”

n this detailed and expansive guide, Greene (Mastery) seeks to immerse his audience in “all aspects of human behavior,” as represented by 18 laws created by Greene. He claims that studying these laws will transform the reader into a “calmer and more strategic observer,” immune to “emotional drama.” Those are lofty promises, but even skeptics will become believers after diving into Greene’s well-organized text. In each chapter, he describes the benefits of confronting and overcoming a different form of human fallibility. Overcoming the “law of irrationality,” for instance, leads to the ability to “open your mind to what is really happening, as opposed to what you are feeling.” For historical perspective, he highlights relevant famous figures: Howard Hughes represents the pitfalls of compulsive behavior, and Anton Chekhov embodies the benefits of overcoming self-sabotage. Greene also quotes a number of literary greats along the way, including Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Friedrich Nietzsche, and Gore Vidal, whose aphorism “Every time a friend succeeds, I die a little” is applied, not surprisingly, to the chapter on envy. Throughout, Greene’s overriding message is to “step back” from the “immediate rush of events” in order to gain greater insight into one’s experiences and circumstances. Greene’s thoughtful examination of self and society will, for the committed reader, deliver a refreshing and revitalizing perspective.
