The balance between literary and popular entertainment is an important reason why Harvey chose to write this novel.

Harvey found the bookshelf that recorded the history of the world, rummaged through the books to find the background for the story "The Count of Monte Cristo", and when he took a few historical biographical books from the bookshelf, he suddenly saw someone who surprised him.

A girl who is not much different in age from him stands in front of the same bookshelf, she is wearing the school uniform of a certain college, the school uniform is British style, women's suit with knee-length skirt, golden wavy hair shawl, her face is delicate and beautiful but reveals a cold arrogance that rejects people thousands of miles away, and the slightly raised eyes give people a sense of arrogance all the time, perhaps because of the girl's exquisite appearance, her sense of arrogance will not make people too disgusted.

Diana Cromwell, who is the fiancée of Harvey Adrian.

There are huge class differences in this world, and although the social and cultural praise of free love is actually as ridiculous as a gentleman's respect for a lady, it is the class concept that dominates marriage.

The marriage of Harvey Adrian to Diana Cromwell was agreed to by Harvey Adrian himself, for no other reason, but by a union of interests.

If the previous Adrian family still didn't look down on Diana, Diana was born into a merchant family, and the Cromwell Chamber of Commerce is one of the famous chambers of commerce in Elroy City, specializing in selling all kinds of "toys", from internal combustion engine cars to magic props made by spellcasters, and the customers are basically young nobles who are interested in this aspect.

Harvey Adrian is one of them, and when the Adrian family declared bankruptcy, it was Diana's father who took the initiative to come to the door to ask for marriage, for what?

The answer to this is very simple, social status.

In the early decades, businessmen were businessmen all their lives, and their status was only a little better than that of commoners, but now that they are civilized and civilized, different class ideas have suffered a huge impact. In order to enter the circle of the aristocracy, the easiest and most effective way for merchants to find a declining nobleman to marry with them, so that they could rightfully enter the social circle of the real power class. The nobles from the middle of the family generally did not refuse, and the marriage allowed the merchant to gain social status, and the nobleman to get the wealth of the merchant.

As I said earlier, the current era preaches free love and women's rights, and the actual status of women is as unbearable as a commodity, and the law clearly stipulates that wives belong to their husbands, and women do not have the right to vote, sue and property.

Because of the same social environment, the works of the three Brontë sisters caused a sensation in the foggy capital of England in the first place, and their status as female writers and their depictions of women's pursuit of love subverted the common sense of the era, and at the same time catered to the needs of public opinion at the time, in such an era, the exchange of a daughter for the title of nobility was a very worthwhile transaction for a merchant.

Harvey Adrian, the original owner of the body, did not have a good impression of Diana, and there were ladies with excellent looks everywhere, and they could hook up with those noble ladies without even paying a price, so why bother to look at the face of a businessman's daughter, and agree to marry Diana solely because her father was willing to give Adrian's family a hundred gold barens every year before marriage.

Diana in front of the bookshelf crossed her waist with one hand and held the book in the other, her arrogant and upward gaze showed a few exceptions, and said in a natural tone: "What a surprise, I didn't expect you to come to such a place, is it for the game between nobles?" ”

Her impression of Harvey Adrian is a playboy who doesn't know how to learn, and he belongs to the type who has no money but has to go to waste, which completely pokes at her disgust. She is not against the marriage to Harvey, she has no choice, it is in her chamber of commerce, and with Harvey Adrian's character, even if she is married, it will not be very constraining.

The tone of course, the question of course, the arrogance of place, was more of a contempt for Harvey than a question.

Harvey smiled and replied unconcernedly: "The aristocratic circle is not as simple as you think, if you don't read some books, it is easy to lose touch with the social world, especially in the face of a smart woman like you, it is easy to be hated if you don't find something that interests you." ”

His evaluation of Diana is that she was born of the wrong gender, the problem is not her appearance and temperament, her arrogance comes with her natural ability, helping her father deal with the problems of the Chamber of Commerce and her academic performance is at the top of her school, Harvey can occasionally hear Diana's name from her peers, if she is a man, she can definitely become a businessman, and even become a real nobleman and jump to the top of the social world.

In modern times, Diana is also a strong woman.

Diana raised her eyebrows, and Harvey's words were a burst of ridicule, but her impression of Harvey remained the same as before, and she sounded sarcastic, and her tone was unconvinced and sarcastic: "I can understand that this is sarcasm for me?" I'm still a student at Adolf College, and it's a student's job to study, but you really understand the books in front of you? This is not a place for aristocratic sons to play. ”

Harvey said calmly: "I hate boring things, and these books are the same, but I can't help it, I'm going to find some historical biography of the king, preferably similar to a good king who was framed or imprisoned for seizing power, do you have any clue?" ”

He is looking for Napoleon's stand-in and the background of the story in The Count of Monte Cristo.
