Great question
If you attention you will find that there are two points of interest.
1. The data type of columns - They are the same
2. Length of columns - They are the difference
Title NVARCHAR(100) NOT NULL, ShortContent NVARCHAR(1000) NULL
In your case, the reason to get this error is points 2, you only need to set length of them are the same. It will be working for you.
