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?”

Modern short stories are like little gems in the literary world. They have their own charm. They can explore different cultures, genders, and social classes in a concise way. They are not bound by the long - windedness of novels. A modern short story can start with a bang and end with a thought - provoking question. The characters are developed just enough to make the reader care. The settings can be very specific to a modern location, like a trendy coffee shop or a high - rise apartment, adding to the contemporary feel of the story.

I recommend "Light, Short, Scattered". This is a collection of short stories by this author. The story had a big imagination and a strange style. It was half sci-fi, with sci-fi, love, horror, and many other elements. Most of the chapters were short, with a story of a few thousand words. Some of the stories looked good at first glance, but when one thought about it carefully, it was terrifying. The male leads included Luqiao, Li Goudan (alias Doug Edgar, father Li Jing, second brother Li Tiedan, eldest brother Li Gangdan), Jock, and so on. Pang Dahai was the supporting male lead. Overall score 8.7, early stage immortal grass, late stage grain, updates irregular, may be weekly. "Stunning Life" was a novel about urban life by Heaven Plume. It was said to be stunning, but the details of the plot were unknown. The author of 'A wisp of divine sense of quick wear' was lonely in an alley. The female protagonist was a wisp of divine sense left behind by a powerful being. She was bound to the system and robbed the protagonist's golden finger to replenish herself. There was no CP, and there were many stories. The early stages were not bad, but some of the later stories were weak and had many typos. However, the overall creativity was sufficient. The female protagonist was not a saint. Her writing was solid, and the plot was clear. However, her three views were not correct. The recommendation index was three stars. Modern Supreme Immortal, written by a hero yesterday. It was about university graduates who walked the path of cultivation and used their special abilities to create legends in the city. The style of writing was humorous, and the plot was about eliminating evil and punishing corrupt officials. Yala's Adventures, a western fantasy novel written by a wastrel from the capital. It was a story about a group of adventurers. The protagonist brought the girls to adventure and redeem themselves in Yala. The style was relaxed, the writing was good, and the characters were strong. However, the story was not attractive enough and the pace was slow. However, it was still a masterpiece for a small group of readers who liked daily adventure stories. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
