In the plot, there are marriages, extramarital affairs, greed for money, revenge, exploitation and murder. Tony left a sly and smiling man in my heart at the beginning. He is trying to figure out the old classmate Shi Wang's Banban. When I threatened him to be the murderer of his wife after his bad deeds, I was thinking that this man wouldn't have to do this even when he found out that he was raped, right? He doesn't seem to love Margot that much, which shows that his character must not be so noble, although many people feel that they do not understand or even hate the three views of this story. But this may be the reality, a man will indeed feel hurt and humiliated when he realizes that he is green, but if he loves this person, he will not take such a sinister and extreme way or even take advantage of other people's weaknesses, isn't it a small thing Human logic? He thinks he has arranged everything wisely, but the reality is different from detective novels. At least the third boy, Mark, is really in love with the heroine Margot. He can't say which side he should support. The tortuous and dark humorous case has developed like this, and the mistress and the heroine may just be lucky. After all, these people seem to be not gentlemen in the strict sense. I foolishly think that such three views actually exist in everyone's subconscious, but sometimes the rationality of a gentleman overcomes selfishness.
