710 The Handmaid War

Heh-

Thinking that this time when she went back, the agent Mia was going to look at herself with strange eyes again, Lania couldn't help but sneer, her somewhat silly agent had always thought that she had relied on luck to get to her current status.

She even calls herself Lania I in private, when communicating with friends.

Yes, Rania admits that she often eavesdrops on her agent's Mia's conversations, and also opens a trumpet to quietly follow the other party's Facebook.

She knew that it was uncultured and impolite, but she couldn't help herself.

If she hadn't stolen her father's conversation with her eldest brother and knew they were going to lock her up until she married the old prince, who was more than forty years older than her, she wouldn't have stolen her passport from her mother, swept away all her cash and jewelry, and climbed into Roy's SUV at night on a road trip in the Middle East, and she wouldn't have fled her original fate.

Since then, she has been obsessive-compulsive, and she has begun to pay extra attention to the movements of people around her.

If it weren't for this, she wouldn't have found out that Roy had a girl she liked, and she wouldn't have been driven away by Roy because she interfered too much and left traces.

Well, he didn't drive her away, he just gave her enough living expenses, found a good school for her, and told her to live alone.

Maybe if she goes on step by step, she will be admitted to a good university, and then she will fall in love with a young American, marry her, have children, and then, her daughter will become an authentic little American, and she will have nothing to do with her damn motherland.

If it weren't for Roy, maybe she would accept such a fate and thank God for arranging.

But now, she was not reconciled, and she wanted to be closer to Roy, not just at Christmas, to sit together and eat turkey, and to take apart the childish Barbie doll he had given her, and make a happy face.

She would have preferred to receive a small ornament, ring, bracelet, necklace, or whatever, not expensive, but small and beautiful, and then she would have a reason to pull down his neck and kiss him on the lips.

Roy –

Silently reading his name, she leaned against the car door, her slender fingers unconsciously sketching his name on the window.

The young driver sitting next to him couldn't help but glance at the girl next to him again, she was laughing, right? What a beautiful smile this girl makes!

He couldn't help but say, "HI, you really should smile more, your smile is really beautiful!"

The girl glared at him unappreciatively: "Drive your car well!"

The young driver shrugged his shoulders helplessly, but he couldn't help but take a look at it more, okay, okay, this face, even if it was angry, was just as pleasing to the eye, so he endured it.

Lania exhaled a long breath, in order to get closer to Roy, she started as a graphic model, and after becoming famous, she began to take on some advertisements, and finally met her agent Mia, and officially stepped into this circle.

Her naïve agent, always thought that she was lucky, but she didn't know how much sweat she paid, other models ran a CASE, she ran ten, others received a job out of ten, she received five out of a hundred, it seems that she has more job opportunities than others, but what she pays behind her is also double the hard work. But now, it should be bittersweet.

She thought of Director Portfield's stunning gaze, and smiled self-deprecatingly, she knew that the agent was squatting, so she was not idle these days, and read Ms. Margaret's original book over and over again I don't know how many times.

I have to say that "The Handmaid War" is really a very good book, and the background of the book is a thousand years in the future, because of the misuse of technology and nuclear weapons war, humanity has finally destroyed itself. The surface of the earth is full of radiation, and it is completely impossible to survive, and the few surviving humans have retreated underground.

At the same time, the birth rate has plummeted due to the pollution of the war, especially for female babies, which is only about one-fifth of that of boys.

In a society where there are more men than women, a new deformed system has been formed - the powerful can have multiple wives, while the mercenaries at the bottom share one wife with multiple people.

Miserable women have been completely reduced to fertility tools, and even some women with low status who are used as fertility tools by the powerful cannot even have the identity of a wife, they are only called "handmaids", what is a handmaid, a maid, and a servant!

And the heroine in the book, Polya, is a rare peculiar existence in the book, as a girl, she was raised by her father as a boy, mixed at the bottom of society, slippery like a loach. After the death of Paulia's father, she was caught in a burglary, and after her identity was revealed, she was sent to the First Archon and became a handmaiden.

Although the world in the book is from a different era, and even a completely illusory setting, it resonates with Lania in a strange way, how similar to her country is that a man can legally have multiple wives!

The difference is that in her country, although a man can have four wives and need to take on the responsibility of supporting them, his four wives live in different mansions, so it is difficult for the wives to meet each other, and it is difficult for there to be too much conflict.

But in the book, the wives of the First Archon live together, which also exacerbates the conflict, and at the same time, because most of his wives are of noble birth, they still maintain a semblance of peace with each other, until the arrival of Polya, this-stirring handmaiden, soon in the backyard of the First Archon, set off a bloody storm.

Lania genuinely likes the character of Polya, she feels that she is tailor-made for herself, so she imitates Polya's lines over and over again, puts herself in her place, and imagines that she is Polya.

Until one day, when she read the line words in the mirror again, she looked at her charming self in the mirror with her hair hanging down her shoulders, and felt that it was not enough, she tried to put on a baseball cap, hid her hair in the hat, and put on the T-shirt that she had secretly taken away from Roy, and looked at the boy in the mirror, and she thought - maybe, she could have done something more extreme?

So, she prepared some extra outfits, in order to prevent Mia from seeing the clues and stop her, but she still had to hide these props, until today, after hanging up Mia's phone, within half an hour, she cut off her hair, dyed her black hair as red as a flame, put a tattoo on herself, and finally, put on a rebellious teenager's leather coat.

Her good intentions were rewarded, and Director Portfield was immediately impressed by her.

But now, perhaps, she was going to give up this rare opportunity, Lania took a deep breath, and her finger quickly scratched Roy's name on the window—

Nothing, more important than Roy.
