The perverted brother drove his sister crazy. Before being captured by the brother, the sister entrusted the child to the peasant woman. The peasant woman gave her child to the perverted brother who came after him, and adopted the sister's daughter. The deceased sister made a will and divided her inheritance equally between her children and the children of the peasant woman, and the inheritance took effect on their 21st birthdays. When the two girls were 20 years old, the peasant woman set up a bureau to get the inheritance. The peasant woman sends her adopted daughter and another man to let the girl who grew up under the perverted uncle run away. They all succeeded together, but I didn't expect that in order to convince the perverted uncle, the peasant woman planned to put her adopted daughter in a lunatic asylum. Everything was going so well, the peasant woman and her real daughter were about to become rich and live happily ever after. The only unexpected thing is that the two girls fell in love with each other. ...

Irony: After thinking about it, the original intention of the peasant woman was probably money. A 20-year conspiracy, even losing his own daughter is actually for money. The perverted uncle kept his sister's daughter by his side, just because she couldn't get married and couldn't share the inheritance... Inheritance, inheritance, this story really brought the story of inheritance to the limit.

Weird and bizarre: a noble who specializes in collecting obscene books; a girl who reads obscene books every day; a girl who makes a living by stealing; an old peasant woman who set up a 20-year timeline; Strange character setting, plus the mistress falling in love with the maid's same-sex leapfrog love line, this story is even more strange.

Reversed narrative: At first you thought you were going to tell the story of your uncle and niece, then you thought you were going to tell the story of the artist's elopement with the young lady, and then you thought you were going to tell the story of the maid saving the young lady for love... In short, you can only Guess the beginning and guess the ending. Keep subverting your thinking, the point of suspense is also here.
