It has many discussions on human nature and descriptions of the dark side. Even in the era of information explosion, it's a masterpiece that can't be missed. Transcending the limitations of the times is enough to prove that this work is excellent.

The important reason why Harvey chose this novel is to give consideration to both literariness and popular entertainment.

Harvey found the bookshelf to record the history of the world, rummaged through the books to find the background of the story creation "count of Monte Cristo". When he took down several historical biographies from the bookshelf, he suddenly saw someone who surprised him.

A young girl who is not much different from him is standing in front of the same bookshelf. She should be wearing the school uniform of a certain college. The school uniform is British style. The women's suit is matched with knee length skirt, and the golden wavy hair shawl. Her face is exquisite and beautiful, but it shows a sense of aloofness and arrogance. Her slightly picked eyes give people a sense of pride all the time, Maybe it's because the girl's appearance is exquisite, and her pride won't make people too disgusted.

Diana Cromwell is Harvey Adrian's fiancee.

There are huge class differences in this world. Although the social culture praises free love, it is as ridiculous as a gentleman respecting a lady. It is the right class concept that dominates marriage.

Harvey Adrian and Diana Cromwell's marriage is agreed by Harvey Adrian himself, for no other reason, the combination of interests.

If the former Adrian family didn't look up to Diana, Diana came from a merchant family, and her Cromwell chamber of commerce is one of the famous chambers of Commerce in Elroy City, which specializes in selling all kinds of "toys", ranging from internal combustion engine cars to magic props made by casters. The customers are basically young nobles who are interested in this aspect.

Harvey Adrian is one of them. When the Adrian family declared bankruptcy, Diana's father came to ask for help. Why?

The answer 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 the common people. Now, with the civilization and civilization, the ideas of different classes have suffered a huge impact. In order to enter the aristocratic circle, the most simple and effective way for businessmen is to find the declining aristocrats to marry with them, so that they can enter the real power class society. In general, the aristocrats who are in a bad family will not refuse. The marriage alliance can give the merchants social status and the aristocrats wealth.

Just as I said just now, the era is advocating free love and women's rights and interests. In fact, women's status is just as bad as commodities. The law clearly stipulates that the wife belongs to the husband's property, and women have no right to vote, Sue and property.

Because of the same social environment, Bronte's three sisters' works caused a sensation in England's fog city at the beginning. Their identity as female writers and their description of women's pursuit of love stories overturned the common sense of that era, and catered to the needs of public opinion at that time. In such an era, it is very worthwhile for businessmen to exchange a daughter for the title of nobility.

Harvey Adrian, the original owner of the body, doesn't like Diana. Beautiful ladies are everywhere, and they can even hook up with those noble ladies without paying any price. Why go to see the face of a merchant's daughter and promise to marry Diana is because her father is willing to provide 100 balun gold coins to Adrian's family every year before marriage.

In front of the bookshelf, Diana crossed her waist in one hand and held the book in the other. Her arrogant eyes showed a few exceptions. She 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 pedantic playboy, but also belongs to the type of no capital but have to go to the waves, completely poked in her disgust. She doesn't object to her marriage with Harvey. She has no right to choose. It's good for her chamber of Commerce. And with Harvey Adrian's character, even if she gets married, it won't restrict her greatly.

The natural tone, the natural inquiry, the natural arrogance, is not so much a question as a slight to Harvey.

Harvey laughs and doesn't care. "The aristocratic circle is not as simple as you think. If you don't read some books, it's easy to get out of touch with the society. Especially for smart women like you, it's easy to be disgusted if you don't find some topics that you are interested in."

His evaluation of Diana was that she was born in the wrong gender, but the problem was not appearance and temperament. Her arrogance was accompanied by her natural ability to help her father deal with the problems of the chamber of Commerce. At the same time, her academic performance was at the top level in her school. Harvey could occasionally hear Diana's name from her peers. If she was a man, she would be a great businessman, It can even become a real aristocrat and become a top figure in the society.

In modern times, Diana is also a strong woman.

When Diana raised her eyebrows, Harvey's words were a burst of ridicule. However, her impression of Harvey remained the same as before. She was sarcastic and didn't admit defeat. She said ironically: "I can understand that this is sarcasm to me? I am still a student of Adolf college. Learning is the job of students. But you really understand the books in front of you? It's not a place for aristocrats to play. "

Harvey said frankly: "I hate boring things, and these books are the same, but I can't help it. I want to find some historical biographies about kings, preferably similar to a good king being framed or imprisoned for seizing power. Do you have any clue?"

He is looking for the stand in and background of Napoleon in count of Monte Cristo.
