Person vs. fate. A character might receive a prophecy that they will die at a certain time or in a certain way. They then struggle against this seemingly inevitable fate. For instance, a soldier is told by a seer that he will die in the next battle. He tries everything he can to change this outcome, which can lead to a story full of suspense and self - discovery as he battles against what seems like an unchangeable future.

The conflict of person vs. technology. In a world where technology is advancing rapidly, a character could be in conflict with a new artificial intelligence system. Maybe the AI has been given control over something important in their life, like their job or access to their home, and they feel it's making unfair decisions. This conflict can explore themes of power, control, and the role of technology in our lives.

"Just to liven things up." Interviewer: "Well, I mean, did you reorganize the Great Ming Dynasty and plant the Seven Immortal Gourds based on the laws of myriad spirits, brewing the Spring of Spirit Qi for the glory of mankind or...?" "Just to really liven things up." Interviewer: "No, Immortal Zhou Li, I feel that you've done so much for humanity, for the Immortal Realm, and for Da Ming. Your purpose and starting point should be a bit more noble, such as...?" "Enough already, can't you see?

One interesting way is to start with a unique character. For example, a character with an extremely odd hobby like collecting toenail clippings. Build the story around how this hobby affects their relationships or daily life. Another way is to use a non - linear narrative. Jump back and forth in time to create suspense and keep the reader guessing. You could start the story at the end, then gradually reveal how things got to that point.
