This is not a silly story

Sharpe Peggy is the most scheming, intelligent, emotionally intelligent, and mean-spirited woman I have ever read in middle school. She won't give in to fate, and she knows what she needs, and she's dedicated to climbing up. To be honest, whether it's drama or reality, I don't actually hate such people, I even admire them. In the original book, the most impressive thing is her pair of green eyes that keep rolling and revealing her desires, ambitions and minds.

So I am very fortunate that compared to the tragic ending of the original book where she was lonely, her husband left, and the child did not love her, the movie gave her a good home.

In the movie, she is obviously reluctant to give up at first, but in order to survive, she sells her mother's painting, and she also throws the dictionary on the ground to deliberately humiliate her in revenge for disrespecting the monastery that trampled on her for many years.

"Retaliation is wrong, but it's natural." I like this sentence.

He was also afraid of hurting Emilia, and at the time of the war, who had a high emotional intelligence, immediately changed his mind and said that Emilia’s husband must not want her to have an accident, comforting the impulsive Emilia, and finally encouraging Emilia to find true love and promoting It was also her who had a marriage with Dubin.

I like this shrewd and smart Sharp Peggy.

She is not stupid and sweet, and even very black-bellied.

But I like her.

Thankfully the movie gave her a good ending.
