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?”

Villains Act Shamelessly: The Heiress was the Great National Master!

Thea Shaw travels from the modern society to the Women's Respect Country, diligently working for thirty years to reach the position of Great National Master. She is forced to travel back again. Before traveling, she was the Miss Sutton who was mistakenly taken by another family, spending twenty years in the countryside, while a fake heiress replaced her in the elite Sutton Family. Her parents are indifferent to her, relatives awkwardly look down on her, and the fake heiress is superior in every way, treating her with politeness. Originally feeling indignant and extreme about her fate and ready to fight for everything, Thea's sharpness is blunted by thirty years of living in a female-dominant society. She thinks, just get by, what else can you do? So the Sutton Family is astonished to find that the daughter lost in the countryside for twenty years is not demanding her status or proving herself, but is instead waving the banner of feudalism. Great National Master—controls national destiny, primarily fortune-telling, with a side of persuasion. Later on, everyone is talking: "Have you had your fortune told by Thea Shaw? She's really accurate, but when you go see her, you must wear formal attire." —— Landon Ford, the heir to the Ford Family, the strongest in Aethelgard. He is known for being erratic in temperament, with a terrible temper, mostly dealing with others without a smile, infamous for being a lunatic. The first time he met her, she had an ethereal aura about her as if she could ascend at any moment, solemnly requesting him to button up his open collar, and sincerely advising: "Boys, reputation is the most important." Landon Ford slants his eyes, grabbing her hand and pressing it against his heart: "Now, I have no reputation, and you must take responsibility." Thea Shaw: … Young people these days lack virtue in their actions. (Silly and Zen-like Little Fairy X Crazy and Rebellious Heir)

The act structure can be applied in short story writing by first setting up the exposition. This is where you introduce the characters, the setting, and the initial situation. For example, in a mystery short story, you might introduce a detective in a small, sleepy town where a strange disappearance has occurred. Then comes the rising action, which builds tension and conflict. The detective starts to interview suspects and uncovers small clues that lead to more questions. The climax is the peak of the story, like when the detective finally figures out the key to the mystery. And finally, the resolution ties up all the loose ends, such as the detective arresting the culprit and the town returning to normal.
