"It's stupid! Well, I'll admit that this one does dare to break with convention, and it's a very good one, especially since the first part of the plot is fascinating and the social environment is described, but the development after that is really bad. Puran found Mottley and grumbled.

"Oops? I think that's the essence of this one, and besides, this one hasn't been finished yet, and the author who submitted it said that the second part would be sent in a few days, and with the plot structure of the first part, I can guarantee the talent of this author and his work. Motley frowned and looked at Puran with some confusion.

Noticing the misgivings between Motley's eyebrows, Puran thought that Motley was dissatisfied with his conclusion, and thought about changing it to a euphemism: "Well, the quality has indeed reached the passing mark for publication, and I will leave it to you to arrange." But this one can't compare to "The Count of Monte Cristo", as for the ending, maybe one day the author sent the ending, and I will watch it again It is a wise choice. ”

"Pran, you probably haven't finished reading this one."

Puran was stunned for a moment, smiled bitterly and generously admitted: "I am not very suitable for this kind of pathos, so I can't bear to see the part where the gentleman and Maude get married, and I still like Mr. Adrian's work in comparison." ”

Motley's face turned gloomy, and he criticized unceremoniously: "My friend, you really don't look like a reviewer anymore, forget it, after all, now you are the boss of the publishing house, you don't have to worry about the reviewer's gaze, as for why are you in such a hurry to draw conclusions before you finish reading this one?" ”

"I've watched it, but I can't accept the development of the ending."

Motley said word by word: "No, you didn't, I dare say you definitely didn't turn to the last page." ”

Puran complained, "Why argue in such a trivial little place, what new plot can be developed by the amount of content in those few pages!?" ”

Motley's face became darker and darker: "Very good, please look through it now." ”

Seeing that Motley has such a tough attitude, and Puran can't say anything, can a few pages change the impression this one gives him? Thinking of the weird atmosphere of the editorial department before, it is very likely that it is all because of this work, could it be that he really missed something?

With some expectation and some unconvincing in his heart, Puran turned the last page of the first part of "City of Thorns" under Motley's nose and finished reading the ending.

As he thought, the gentleman's wife was sent to an insane asylum, after which the gentleman could get all of Maude's property...

What the!?

Puran suddenly jumped up from his chair, held the original manuscript and looked at it repeatedly, rubbing his eyes to make sure he wasn't dazzled! What's going on!? What's going on here!? Why was Sue sent to an insane asylum?

Seeing his incredulous expression, the corners of Motley's mouth hooked: "Puran, now you understand." ”

"What the hell is going on!?"

"The answer will be revealed in a few days, so be patient and see for yourself." Mottley turned and exited the office, helping Puran close the door.

Puran's head is a mess, this plot is developing too fast, it's like just flying into the air and falling straight into meat in the next second, there is no reason at all, why was Su captured by the staff of the insane asylum? Puran hurriedly flipped back and thought back to all the contents, and it didn't feel anything wrong with everything that had developed as a matter of course.

No, the gentleman did mention that his wife had delusions when he talked to the asylum staff, fantasizing about himself as a different person, and when Puran saw this, he thought it was a gentleman who casually fabricated a reason to send Maude in, and now after reading it, it is completely a trap, a trap for Sue to replace Maude as a trap for "Maude"!

In other words, the plot is not without a trace! It's not that the author gave up on himself and wrote it.

Until the truth was revealed, Puran suddenly remembered some subtle descriptions of Maude, the innocent lady, in it.

Puran's face was full of astonishment, he was actually "deceived" by one!?

······

In the days that followed, Puran fell into a situation of unthinking, thinking about the subsequent plot development of "City of Thorns", he had already watched the first part several times, the immaculate style and peculiar plot construction, following the orderly structure of a spider's web, the content was long, dark, twisted and satisfying.

He was never able to guess the next plot development, and Puran vaguely found the anomalies in Maude, including what happened to Maude when he was an hour, Maude's uncle, who loved books like his life, everything seemed extraordinary, but everything was shrouded in fog before the author solved the mystery, and he couldn't get a glimpse of it.

Pran's thoughts about the ending of "City of Thorns" even exceeded his thoughts about "Dark Age", because the plot twist is too clever.

Soon, the second part of "City of Thorns" was submitted to the office of the publishing house...

It's still written in the first person, and this time the heroine becomes Maude.

"Can you still write like that!?" Pran was surprised by this novelty of writing, and the plot of the first part was the same as the first, but it was Maude's vision to dig into everything, including the beginning and end of the conspiracy.

Maude's uncle really loves books, and even ordered Maude to only wear gloves to touch his collection, but those books are all despised and obscene books, Maude is just a plaything of her uncle, in order to escape the cage that imprisoned her, she chooses to cooperate with the gentleman, find a substitute and send him to the insane asylum to get rid of his uncle's entanglement.

From the very beginning, the conspiracy was directed against Sue.

When reading the book, Puran didn't dare to take a breath, the tense atmosphere of the plot created by "City of Thorns" made it difficult for him to breathe, the rhythm of the plot was very cleverly controlled, and the twists and turns of the plot came almost one after another, revealing the truth of the whole conspiracy like peeling off the cocoon, and the only warmth was the specious true love between Sue and Maude.

Sue is in love with Maude, does Maud love Sue?

The second part does not reveal the answer, but Puran has already found a conclusion, if Maud doesn't like Sue, then why would she, who has a good understanding of the nasty culture, ask Sue about the wedding night? Why pretend to be innocent and ignorant?

From the beginning, Maud was a big bad wolf in a rabbit's skin.

"Wonderful! This author is definitely a genius comparable to Harvey Adrian! So good, everything has to be published! "Looking at it in one go, Puran is amazing! finally understood Motley's concerns, and this film simply challenges people's moral bottom line again.

Puran firmly believes that people's appreciation of literature and art masks their own insignificant moral flaws.
