I'm getting ready to start a story about Officer Gao Ming: If I Can't Win Over Officer Gao Ming. Click on my column and show Officer Gao Ming some love!!!
A single man with money is bound to want to find a wife, while a single man without money also longs for a steady meal ticket.
In England's marriage market, where there are more men than women, clever, levelheaded bachelors firmly insist on finding a good wife with beauty, manners, talent, family background, and a dowry. Otherwise, people might think I'm some kind of pathetic bachelor!
Faced with a young, handsome, educated, and charming man who makes her heart flutter, Mary Bennet quietly does the math:
"Noble birth, add 10,000 to the dowry;
Young and handsome, add 2,000;
Good character, add 2,000;
Not much income... but it's stable, so add another 1,000."
Elizabeth Bennet shakes her head and sighs. "15,000 pounds. Judging by what Colonel Fitzwilliam let slip, that's still the lowest price the lady came up with."
Mary Bennet's heart instantly cools. "All right, never mind. How strange. Why was I ever attracted to my employer? Working for him while saving up a dowry so I could marry him? What a wicked temptation. What a heartless boss."
Meanwhile, the heartless boss is comforting Mr. Darcy after his failed proposal. "It's a shame I didn't get to hear the good news that your proposal succeeded, but don't be sad. There'll soon be a truly happy occasion for us to celebrate. Yes, I mean, I hope my wedding to Miss Mary will bring you some good luck, too."
Here's a preview of an upcoming story: sunny, cheerful ghost prince x unlucky little princess disguised as a boy. Come check it out~
Shen Cong, the eighteenth (fake) prince of the Great Chu palace, wakes up one morning to find that a male ghost has possessed him.
The ghost claims to be an immortal from Heaven who has descended to the mortal realm to undergo tribulation. When the time comes, his soul will naturally return to the heavenly palace. If Shen Cong cooperates, the ghost guarantees he'll take her along and let her ascend to Heaven with him.
Shen Cong acts obedient on the surface, but doesn't believe him. Burning incense and praying to Buddha don't get rid of the ghost, so she can only sigh to herself and make do. What else can she do, burn herself to death?
Before long, Shen Cong realizes that having an immortal inside her isn't so bad. He's seen a lot, is skilled in both literary and martial arts, and is a master of palace and political intrigue. In less than two months, he's taken her from a nobody to a rising star, and the emperor, whom she'd barely seen in all her life, even grants her a title and arranges her marriage.
Wait, arranges her marriage?!
Shen Cong secretly pokes the immortal. Oh, he's quite approachable and says she can just call him Third Brother. So she does. "Third Brother, what should I do?"
Third Brother tells her not to worry. He's already got a clever plan, and he'll have everything sorted out in less than two months.
Shen Cong relaxes and waits for Third Brother, but before two months are up, his soul returns to Heaven.
He Zhao, the legitimate third prince of Great Wei, studied and practiced martial arts as a child, then expanded the borders of his country as an adult. His life had gone smoothly until his biggest setback in twenty years: a northern wind left him bedridden and nearly killed him.
Luckily, he was blessed with a strong constitution and even refused to disembark at the River of the Underworld. He just doesn't know which step went wrong on his way back to the mortal world. The moment he opened his eyes, he was in someone else's body.
To be precise, he now has one soul and two bodies: one is his own, and the other belongs to a little princess disguised as a boy, far away across the land.
When the little princess is sick, he's sick too. When the little princess is hungry, he's hungry too.
If the deranged old emperor of the Southern Dynasty issues an order to execute the little princess, won't He Zhao get caught in the disaster as well?!
No way!
Isn't this just palace intrigue and political scheming? Leave it to him!
Because he's so good at it, the little princess soon stands out from a crowd of useless, pathetic princes and is granted a title and a marriage by the old emperor of the Southern Dynasty.
A title? He Zhao thinks that's great.
An arranged marriage? He Zhao thinks that's awful.
But no matter. He promises the little princess, "Wait another two months, and Third Brother will take you away from this wretched place."
Two months later, the army of Great Wei arrives at the city gates.
He Zhao, leading the troops into battle, counts every member of the little Chu imperial clan, but no matter what, he can't find the little princess.
He Zhao laughs coldly in anger. "Little liar! Didn't you promise to wait for me?!"
Another month passes.
The capital is peaceful once again. One day, Shen Cong, hiding out in an unremarkable little courtyard, opens the door.
A young general on a white horse with silver trappings smiles brightly at her. "Good morning, Qingqing. I said I'd come for you, and now Third Brother is here. Aren't you happy?"
Shen Cong: This can't be real... This time, I'm really seeing a ghost.
Theme: Realizing your own worth isn't about pleasing others.
The male protagonist of Jane Eyre is that his wife is crazy. In fact, it is difficult to tell whether she is crazy or not. If her husband takes away all the dowry and locks her in the attic all day long, everyone will go crazy. I doubt this very much now. If the male protagonist is really good to his wife, even if he is crazy, he will not lock himself up in the attic. At least he will find a remote corner of the manor to build a yard. His wife's dowry is so large, he definitely has the conditions to build a small yard. And to the outside world, if you are married, you are married, and you are still pretending to be unmarried! I used to be young and didn't understand, so I thought this man had a lot of troubles, but now look, what the hell!
Sure enough, it's to reduce costs hhhh
Mr. Darcy is completely last!
When can I get the rose back? The thought of someone taking it makes me very angry! ! ! [Split]
Although, as a person with a job and a job, what he said to a woman who rarely has job opportunities is really worth beating.
Yes. Whether it's the original work or a fanfic, Mrs. Bennett's original intention is just to find a way out, because this is really an imminent crisis.
According to the medical conditions at the time, if the cycle lasted for two to three months, it would not only stay long-term, but could be buried there and sleep forever [bad laugh]
There's no room for so many people here
Don't you know what's going on in your mind? You're just pretending to be a man.
? Your finances are all inherited from your father.
