Pampered by Short-Lived Bigshot

In "Pampered by Short-Lived Bigshot," Tang Wan initially encounters the Jiang family's fifth young master as a rumored figure: celibate, proud, and intelligent, but consumed by a will to live so diminished that he is gravely ill and nearing death. Their paths cross again when he brings her into his room, leaving onlookers astonished by her subsequent tears. Later, the fifth young master returns, recovered, with a seemingly innocent but feisty Tang Wan in tow. He declares his intention to let her do as she pleases, accepting full responsibility for her actions. He views her as his, a spoiled young girl he must care for. Tang Wan's primary objective after marrying into the Jiang family is to bear his children before his predicted demise. This urgency fuels her intense desire to "make every second count." However, after giving birth and her son turns one, Tang Wan finds her husband is still alive, much to her surprise. Much later, he confronts her about her perceived desire to hasten his death.
