The content of the second volume of the "Dark Age" novel was finished. Harvey began to think about what to do next. Harvey is a person who can’t be idle, at least in this world without computers, there is no “idle” or “entertainment” at all. the concept of.
""City of Thorns"?"
Harvey put his hands on the desk and held his chin in contemplation. With a strange smile in his eyes, he whispered the name of the next novel. This is his favorite and personally considered the best Lily suspense novel, from In the hands of the British modern writer Sarah Waters, she is known as one of the best modern writers.
If this kind of novel appeared in such an era, it would definitely cause a higher sensation than classical romance novels such as "Pride and Prejudice" for no other reason. This novel has provoked the asceticism prevailing in this era from beginning to end. The most amazing thing in this novel is not the plot, but the suspenseful method used in the novel. If it is written with ordinary vision, this novel is likely to be mediocre, let alone at the peak of literary development. Hyundai is emerging.
Harvey personally wanted to write this novel very much. The problem is that if this novel appeared in this era, it would be too shocking and hard for readers.
"Earl Henrietta should almost act on that side. It's okay to catch up with the tide of the times and write lily-themed novels, but you have to think about a new pen name." Harvey chuckled to himself and got up and came. The [Endless Library] of the Tower of the Mage, the magic circle of the consciousness-controlled lifting platform, the huge platform rose to the storage of British mystery novel classification bookshelves, Harvey looked around and quickly found the original novel of "The City of Thorns", Xian Zi Read the original work carefully and make sure that you have all these words in your mind.
Harvey has only watched the TV series version of "City of Thorns", which is also the only live-action Lily-themed TV series he can accept. The adaptations of other Lily works by the same author somehow do not like it. For his favorite works, Harvey always spares no effort to let it shine in the world with the most dazzling brilliance. Unlike the "translated form" of writing more than a dozen novels one night, Harvey has to carefully consider how to adapt this Novels.
The background in the novel is in the Victorian era of England. The plot of the novel can be divided into three parts. The first part is based on the heroine Su. She was born in a dirty and thieves-infested slum street. The attic where she lives faces the gallows. Every day, you can see all kinds of prisoners being hanged. Born in such an environment, Su naturally cannot be a lady. She is also a thief.
One day, a thief friend of her nicknamed "gentleman" came to her door and promised a huge sum of 3,000 pounds to let her assist in completing a plan. Then let Su help him marry a rich lady, and then He will send the eldest lady to the insane asylum to obtain all the eldest's family property.
Sue herself is a despicable thief, and her conditions do not allow her to refuse. She has to return to Aunt Sachsby, who raised her, so that other unrelated family members living under the same house who are not related but are relatives can live a good life. , The price is to send an unknown stranger into the lunatic asylum. Isn't this a trade that makes no money lose?
Su's conscience is indeed a bit sad, but there is no room for her to refuse.
The gentleman arranged Su to the eldest lady Maude to take care of her. Su carefully hid his identity, especially those bad habits developed from the slums. There was still silt in the crevices of her nails, but now she has to take care of her. A lady who wears white gloves when she reads.
The plan went well. Su found out that Maude was not crazy. Maybe the manor’s repressive life made her character a bit weird. In order to make up for her guilt, Su did his best to take care of Maude. The two soon fell in love with sisters, but only a little bit. The place is quite ambiguous again. Su couldn't understand her feelings. What she faced was a pure and well-bred lady, what other feelings did she have besides those embarrassed? She also needs to personally send her into the lunatic asylum to play such a villain role. What qualifications does she have to have feelings for Maude?
Su still assisted the gentleman in completing the plan, saying as much as possible about him in front of Maude, and creating more opportunities for them to get along, but the haze in her heart increased day by day.
One day, Maude's decayed tooth grew a sharp point, which was very uncomfortable. Su grew up in a slum, but she was not used to Maud’s eldest lady. She found a thimble to help Maud smooth the decayed tooth. When the two of them looked at each other, they could see something different in each other’s eyes. Su couldn't understand her mood at that time, so she chose to turn her head to avoid Maude's sight.
In the final part of the plan, the gentleman came to the manor to abduct Maude to a dilapidated church for marriage, so that the consent of Maude’s guardian uncle was not required. When the uncle found out, everything was too late.
Maude agreed.
The day before the escape, Maude was as excited and uneasy as a normal bride. She didn't know what she should do or how she should cooperate with her husband on the day of marriage. Maude is accustomed to asking Su for advice, and the two of them fight on the bed. Su didn't know what he was thinking about, maybe it was his guilt for Maude, maybe it was also to comfort Maude, or something else.
When the two tried to kiss each other, everything was out of control, and Maude woke up the next day with a hickey on his chest.
On the day of the escape~www.readwn.com~ Maude kept asking Sue whether his decision was correct. Sue’s heart was very disturbed, as if something was stuck in her throat and blocked her chest. She thought of Aunt Sachsby, and finally I chose the assistance plan and said some kind words from a gentleman.
The gentleman and Maude finished their wedding in the chapel. The plan was as usual. A few days later, the gentleman invited people from the lunatic asylum. He told the lunatic asylum that his wife was a little nervous, would often say something inexplicable, and would make himself wrong. Think it's another person.
With tears, Su finally asked the people in the lunatic asylum to treat him kindly. When the carriage came to the door of the lunatic asylum, the staff of the madhouse asked the gentleman’s wife to get out of the car. Su looked at Maude, but Maude was expressionless and his eyes blinked. Without blinking, he looked at the other side with an unprecedented indifference.
At this time, the gentleman looked at Su and pushed the stunned Su out of the carriage. She became the gentleman's wife, the man who was sent to the lunatic asylum in the plan. Su screamed, struggling to explain that she was not a gentleman's wife. She asked Maude what was going on, but in return she ignored it.
Su was caught in the lunatic asylum as the wife of a gentleman. It was then that she suddenly realized that all of this was a conspiracy, a conspiracy planned by Maud and the gentleman. Mobile users please browse and read for better quality reading Experience.
