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 'Hills like White Elephants' is a masterpiece of Ernest Hemingway. It's a short yet profound piece. The title itself is symbolic, with the 'hills like white elephants' perhaps representing the unborn baby which is the central, unspoken issue in the story. The dialogue between the man and the girl is filled with subtext. They are at a train station, a liminal space that reflects their uncertain relationship. The man seems to be pressuring the girl into having an abortion, though it's never directly stated.

One of the main themes is communication and miscommunication. The couple in the story seems to be talking past each other. The man is trying to convince the girl about something (implied to be abortion) but they are not really having an open and honest conversation. Another theme is the power dynamic in relationships. The man seems to have more control and is pushing his views on the girl.

Xuanming Immortal Destiny

The Underworld Star was originally a world of beasts. For millions of years, the eight great beast clans had been fighting each other all year round. Blood flowed like rivers on the Underworld Star, forming an endless sea. 10,000 years ago, the Xuan cultivators killed their way into the Netherworld Star, exterminated Qiongqi, killed Taowu, exiled Taotie and Hundun, and captured the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise. 10,000 years later, the world of war descended once again. The story began here. Hong Tian was a fourteen or fifteen-year-old youth, a servant disciple of the Myriad Dao Sect's Spirit Plant Hall. He had the reverse spirit root of water and fire, and was at the first qi layer. He was aloof from worldly affairs. He only wanted to cultivate to the fourth qi layer so that he would be qualified to go down the mountain to train and meet his grandfather, whom he had not seen for many years. However, the senior brother who was close to him suddenly died. He lost his identity as a servant of the Spirit Plants Hall and returned to the outer sect. He wanted to help his senior find out the truth, but the news was leaked and he fell into someone else's trap. Fortunately, not only did he discover that he possessed the Wind Spiritual Root, but he also obtained a cultivation method for the Wind Spiritual Root. He cultivated day and night. He fought with his enemies to the death. One by one, his enemies were reduced to dust. Until one day, a beast tide broke out. The 10,000-year crisis of the Netherworld Star had arrived! With his extraordinary ability, Hong Tian gradually walked to the front of the Celestial Gate and the four Beast Gods. He suppressed the Beast Tide and protected the heavenly world. Even if he was attacked by the axe, he was fearless! He was Hongtian! Cultivators loved and feared him, mortals worshipped him, and in the vast world, he left behind a "legend of heaven"!
