Gorgeous to forget the horror

If you regard "Scarlet Mountain" as a horror movie, it is at most a luxurious upgraded version of Chinese horror movies that can be shown in cinemas. But if you think of it as a European and American Qiong Yao drama with a slightly scary plot, it will look much better, with gorgeous Renaissance costumes, gloomy castles, and poignant love stories throughout. In addition to the perfect acting skills of several big names, as well as half of the P shares of Thor's younger brother, the ratings of the TV series are absolutely higher than that of Zhen Huan Chuan. In short, it is very suitable for women to watch. For the movie, the script is terrible. I haven't read the novel. I've seen a comic that is more than 100 times more terrifying than this.

So Father ordered a closed casket, asked me not to look. There were to be no parting kisses. No goodbyes. No last words. That is, until the night she came back.

  • Society Girl: It seems he's a baronet.

    Society Girl: What's a baronet?

    Society Girl: Well, an aristocrat of some sort.

    Edith Cushing: A man that feeds off land that others work for him. A parasite with a title.

    Society Girl: This parasite is perfectly charming and a magnificent dancer. Although, that wouldn't concern you, would it, Edith, our very young Jane Austen?
