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?”

Okay...let's begin, shall we? First of all, it reminds me of 'A Scarlet Letter' by Nathaniel Hawthorne. I loved the book to the letter. It was from the mid-17th century. I saw a reflection of that classical era in this writing. If you are a fan of descriptive narrative style, this book will blow your mind. I envy the writer as a fellow writer.. :D I am jealous. However, use of the old school realism will slow the pace at which your story develops. I don't mind slow development, but you may lose some potential readers. We won't want that to happen. The writer shows an excellent ability to describe the world as the character sees it. If you are okay with slow story buildup, you should not miss this. This is an excellent work of art.

Nathaniel Melenas Tavern is a marvel of compact engineering — a man so efficiently assembled that not a single inch of him is wasted on humility. Small? No. Concentrated. Fat? Absolutely not — merely operating at maximum density. Like a neutron star, but with glasses. Ah yes, the glasses. Not for reading anything meaningful, of course — just a distinguished accessory that suggests intelligence the way a lab coat suggests a doctor. He adjusts them often, usually before saying something profoundly incorrect with breathtaking confidence. Nathaniel possesses a rare gift: the ability to be spectacularly wrong while radiating the smug aura of a man who believes he just reinvented mathematics. He’ll explain basic facts to experts. He’ll mispronounce long words boldly. He’ll nod thoughtfully at his own confusion. And through it all, he maintains that compact, self-satisfied grin — the grin of a man who has never let knowledge interfere with his ego. In short, Nathaniel Melenas Tavern is not just a man. He is a monument to misplaced confidence — short in stature, vast in certainty, and gloriously undefeated by reality.[img=strong]
