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 origin of the graveyard shift can be traced back to the industrial revolution. As industries grew and the demand for continuous production increased, employers had to find ways to keep their operations running around the clock. The late - night shift was named graveyard shift perhaps because of the association with the stillness and darkness of the night, similar to a graveyard. Workers on this shift often had to endure difficult working conditions due to the odd hours.

There isn't really one single 'famous' graveyard shift origin story in the sense that it's a common term that emerged from the general need for round - the - clock work in industry. But in some places, like in certain old factories, there might be local stories. For example, in a textile factory that had been running for decades, the workers there might have their own tales about how the graveyard shift started, maybe related to a big order that required non - stop production.
