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?”

The story has no character development and the story moves way to fast. You should develop the character more for example their personality, what they like to make it more enjoyable to read. The plot of the story moves way to fast, say you write a short story about going to a shop, your story is like "I went to a shop and bought some sweets and drinks". Instead a good story would include walking to the shops, describing the buildings around the area, describing the shop and including a lot more things.

This is a clarification regarding the Kazuki & Issei Pawns conflict... This is how it works in this storyline: In canon, a Devil normally has 8 Pawn pieces, but multiple pawns can be consumed to reincarnate a single person if their soul, potential, or compatibility requires it. That’s already established in DxD with Issei. When Rias reincarnated Issei, she unknowingly used seven Pawn pieces. At the time, it was shocking because he was just a normal human… or so they thought. Later, once his identity as the Red Dragon Emperor became clear, it made perfect sense why he required so many pieces. The same principle applies to Kazuki. When Kazuki was reincarnated, Rias did not know he was a Guyver. Just like with Issei, his true nature wasn’t revealed at the time, so the number of Pawn pieces required was abnormally high. That’s why the exact count was left vague in the narration—it mirrors the uncertainty Rias herself had during the reincarnation. So to be absolutely clear: Issei was reincarnated using 7 Pawn pieces, leaving him with only 2 active Pawn slots afterward. Kazuki, due to being a Guyver, also consumed multiple Pawn pieces, which is why he personally holds 6 Pawn-equivalent value. This does not break canon—it follows the same reincarnation rules, just applied to an original character with an abnormal existence. In short: Neither Issei nor Kazuki “has fewer pawns” arbitrarily. They used more pawns because they are not normal beings. That’s the rule, and it applies equally to both.

There could be a whole host of characters. Besides the obvious pawnbroker and customers, there might be a sidekick of the pawnbroker, like an assistant who helps with the appraisals. There could also be a character who has a vendetta against the pawn shop, perhaps someone who feels they were cheated in a past transaction. Or a nosy neighbor who is always spying on the comings and goings at the pawn shop.

"Pawnshop, also known as pawnshop, pawn shop, longevity warehouse, etc. It was a usury organization that used clothes and other items as collateral to lend money. Pawnbroking first appeared in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, as recorded in the Biography of Liu Yu in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty. Its mode of operation was that the pawnshop lent money to the pawnshop according to the value of the items provided by the pawnshop. When the pawnshop redeemed the items, the pawnshop had to pay the principal and interest. If the pawnshop owner was unable to redeem it, the item would become a dead pawn and belong to the pawnshop. Pawning also stipulated the redemption period of the item, which was usually up to two years. If the item was not redeemed or exceeded the time limit, it would be considered as a dead pawn. In ancient times, the common people were not very assured about pawning at first. Most of them used old clothes to pawn for money. Clothes made of good materials (such as animal hair, silk, silk, etc.) could be exchanged for more money. In ancient times, apart from clothes, there were also special methods of pawning, such as "pawning", where a husband "rented" his wife to another man through a pawnshop. Within a specified period of time, the wife could become someone else's wife, forming a real marriage relationship and even having children. After the period expired, the wife had to return to her original family. If she did not want her to come back, she could also sell it all to the other party. In addition,"Pawnshop" was also used as the name of some literary works, such as the anime "Yu Family Pawnshop" and the novel "Pawnshop". The novel "Battle of Yin and Yang" is equally exciting.
