What is 'the carnival short story' about?

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?”

You have been warned. :P [ Mature Content! ] --- In a faraway fantasy land lived a powerful exalted being, King Arankar, who didn't know anything about humans or civilized races in general. His world didn't have any civilized societies or races as only beasts, spirits, and god consciousness like him were birthed, and everything was about survival and getting stronger, devouring each other to reach the peak. He became the strongest of all in the Arankar world, so strong that none ever reached his level, and the world also took his name while also crowning him as the King of All. But this was the start of his downfall. He started feeling flawed, not perfect like he thought. The overwhelming boredom and dullness of his world started corrupting him as he was getting devoured by his own darkness, and there was no way of stopping it.
