[New Peerless Double Pride 3] Over the years

When I was carried out of the Immortal Cloud Inn, all I could remember was the pain in my stomach, my silver hair and white hair, and the misery of this sinful fetus living in my stomach and making wind and rain.

The fault in consciousness is just like the white hair that makes me tangle and tear, and is broken in my hands.One strand at a time, the roots are like fresh snow from a cool spring, slipping past the palm of your hand, you can't tell the feeling, you can't catch the trace.

I knew very well that I was going to faint from the pain.

But in the depths of the coma, after the fog-like chaos, I had thoughts and consciousness, but fell into a dream.

A dream that was so real and so bizarre to me.

In a dimly lit palace, I saw a young man wake up with his eyes open.

That young man was pale and thin, his eyes were dark and bottomless, even if you looked at him once, twice, or three times, you still couldn't see through his thoughts.

He was wearing a wide and long robe, which was thin and light, and the shape of the underlying texture could be faintly seen.That's really a sub-malnutrition body, but fortunately it's not too short, if you eat enough, it will grow again in the coming year.

The young man was silent, walking slowly in the corridors of the palace.I followed him involuntarily, even if I didn't want to follow, I turned my back, and within a few steps, I would return to him.

The boy went to the side room to get wine and sent it to a brightly lit inner hall.I watched him straighten his back, bend a little bit when stepping into the light, his originally expressionless face gradually showed the most flattering smile in the world, he bent his back, his eyes flickered, and walked towards that place. In front of a man and a woman in the hall.

The man in the palace was not yet an adult, but he was a little bit more heroic than the young man who delivered the wine and poured it.There is a long scar on this person's face that extends from the corner of the eye to the corner of the lip. Today, everyone in the world probably knows that this is a young fish in his twenties who has not yet turned the world upside down.

I also feel surprised, how can I dream here for no reason.Of course I also know that the young man who is beside me at this moment, offering wine with hands in his hands, but smiling at the woman next to Xiao Yu'er, who is fascinated by sex, is the boy I can't get rid of for the rest of my life, and I hate to death An old acquaintance - Jiang Yulang.

The two men recognized it, and there was no reason why the woman couldn't guess it.Look at this woman Yanshi Meixing, if she was young and knew how to restrain herself, and avoid provoking a few swordsmen and swordsmen, she might really be my mother.

This place is Xiao Mimi's underground palace, which is so fascinating, I actually entered the dream of the palace master.And the reason why I say that this dream is related to the Palace Master is not Xiaoyuer, because wherever the Palace Master goes, I almost have to be attached to him involuntarily,

I thought deeply about the joints in it, the one that could make me have a relationship with this person, first, it was the puppet master's tricks, and second, it was the piece of meat in my stomach.

Regardless of who created the dream, it is not illusory, on the contrary, it matches all the details I knew back then, and it is as close as reality.

The palace master stole his father's treasure map and came to Emei to hunt for treasure. Xiao Mimi caught her in the underground palace for a year and made her a concubine.There was also a boy who had a good relationship with the palace master, and was killed by the Queen's concubines today.

When the hall master saw the young man's body, his expression was weary, but he never showed any anger or sadness.In a blink of an eye, he stunned a group of harem young men, holding a shiny silver tray, closed the door and walked up, killing them one by one.There are also different methods of killing people, some were strangled to death with his bare hands, some were smashed with a silver plate, and the plasma flowed to death... It's not that I have never seen a dead person, but this time is better than any other time. , There is no lack of bloody shock.

The murderer walked steadily. After the death, he took off the first layer of blood-stained robes, put on new boots, wiped his hands clean, and wiped the dishes until they were as bright as new. He went to serve Xiao Yu'er and Xiao Mimi as if nothing had happened.

Soon, I saw the first conversation between the Hall Master and Xiao Yuer.The two stood together, and the contrast couldn't be more obvious.Xiao Yu'er's eyes were so bright that they almost glistened, even though he didn't say a word of conceit, he seemed to know the palace master thoroughly, and his pride stood out.

The hall master looked thin, with pale lips and quiet eyes.However, a young man with a yellow and thin face does not show the youthful spirit and vigor.I naturally knew that he was pretending to be himself, and I felt cold for him from the bottom of my heart.

I watched the two of them return to Xiao Mimi, and watched the hall master self-directed the panic of killing everyone. He had a conversation with Xiao Yu'er in the cesspit that would make me sad that day. They each said genius, A line of genius geniuses calling each other.Climbed out of the cesspit, and entered Ouyang Ting's Diling Palace again, momentarily piercing through the bones and momentarily locked in love, met the yellow flower bee on the water again, and met Xuanyuan Sanguangjiang Biehe again... It seemed that various picture scrolls were unfolding in front of my eyes one by one, and I actually saw the rivers and lakes that I was familiar with back then, it could be described as a chance encounter.

As for the hall master and Xiao Yu'er who are locked together together, they have to be inseparable when bathing and changing clothes, but I am worse than them, and I have to accompany them when I go to the toilet.The ups and downs in the daytime are indeed interesting. When it comes to the trivial matters of life, I really don't know that I will have to observe the year of the monkey.

The Lord of the Palace was very different when he was young, and I only saw him in Xiao Mimi's palace with a gloomy and lifeless look. After he came out, he had a conspiracy with Xiao Yu'er, and Xiao Yu'er praised him from time to time for disguising himself as a man, hurting his youth. Sad autumn, full of thoughts, more twists and turns than women.

Although I can't tell the truth from the fake on this person's face all the time, sometimes even Xiao Yu'er thinks it's a lie when the Hall Master tells the truth.

Because of this, I laughed that he deserved it. I saw that he was immature when he was young, and his face would turn blue when he was nervous. I also saw that he cried when he said he would cry, and he could laugh when he cried. The freshness was gradually replaced by restlessness.

I'd rather he be tied to Xiao Yu'er for the rest of his life, so that even if I can't leave him in my dreams, I can just look at Xiao Yu'er and ignore him.

Until that day, Jiang Biehe took off the love lock for the two of them.Xiao Yu'er was hit by acupuncture points, Li Daitao became stiff, and lay on the bed of Jiangbie Crane to die for others.Tie Xinlan came here following his father Tie Zhan's signal, and Jiang Wuque was chasing behind him.

No, people in the Jianghu called Hua Wuque back then.

And Young Master Wu Que, just like Xiao Yu'er Tie Xinlan, was very young this night.

A ray of light in the night can make that person shine.And I have never seen his younger and brighter face than today, clear and beautiful, with a different composure.Although he was new to the rivers and lakes and untouched by worldly customs, his demeanor was calm and unhurried, which was convincing and followed.

Xiao Yu'er later concluded that he was just a dummy without pain and joy, but I felt that he was more transparent and open-minded than the person I knew.

How could he not guess or doubt a teacher's order of killing someone without asking for love, but he just laughed it off when Xiao Yu'er said it.

I like when he smiles, relaxed, and let go.It is more real than the silence, peace, and lack of desire and desire after that day.

If suffering can change a person, one does not know whether the change is good or bad.

All I know is that Yaoyue Lianxing's plan only becomes reasonable and wonderful because the other party is the two brothers Xiao Yuer and Jiang Wuque.Just imagine, the scene that the planner most wanted to see back then was just the annoyed and maddened expressions on the faces of those who survived when the truth came out.But Jiang Wuque didn't know Xiao Yu'er, even if he knew that the two were siblings, the pain of the two who had never met before was limited.Besides, they wanted him to be insensitive before the murder, and to be remorseful and painful after the murder. This is a self-contradictory assumption.And if Yihua Palace raised Jiang Yulang instead of Jiang Wuque today, with the natural temperament of the palace master, so what if he killed a close relative with a mother and twins, I am afraid that one more brother would be in the way.

In that way, Yaoyue Lianxing's 17 years of long waiting and dreams will be turned into nothingness.

It's just that this night, in the early autumn of the south of the Yangtze River, Jiang Wuque bumped into Xiao Yu'er, so there was no reason not to kill him.Not long after, the destined two walked together to the countryside under the starry sky, and saw the shadow of Guishan Mountain looming. Jiang Wuque was about to make a move, but he was destined to see the carcass of a woman who was deeply responsible in his life.In the night wind, the stars were moving, Tie Xinlan, who was stripped clean for the person she loves, and the girl Jiang Wuque, who disobeyed his teacher's orders, were so close in front of my eyes, but I couldn't see them with my own eyes.

I can only accompany the Palace Master to listen to the Jiangnan hero's lesson: In front of your own father, you don't need to be too scheming, even if you outsmart your father, will your father still treat you badly?

I missed the scene where Tie Xinlan took off her clothes to save her lover, so I really couldn't have any affection for the father and son who blocked me from watching the show.Thinking again, this dream is divided into minutes, moment by moment, so long, if the person in the dream can't wake up, I'm afraid it will be years, months, days and nights, I really have to watch the hall master go through half a lifetime , That inch of time is repeated again, and I feel collapsed when I think about it.

Naturally, the more this is the case, the more I feel disgusted with this young Jiang Yulang.Seeing him desperately practicing the martial arts secrets brought out by the Diling Palace, he knew that he took the initiative to associate with Jiang Wuque without Jiang Biehe's teaching. After Xiao Yu'er left, he naturally got lucky, and soon conspired with the Shuangshi Escort , He robbed Duan Hefei's dart silver twice.The first time he acted out of righteousness to help each other and recover the lost money, which earned him a great reputation as Yulang Shaoxia and stole the limelight;

That move was followed by another move, and one trick was better than the other. I watched from the sidelines and could only sigh to myself.The master of the palace has the ability to make waves, harm others, benefit himself, and cut off future troubles, not to mention his father Jiang Biehe, even Xiao Yuer, the smartest person in the world, would not dare to underestimate him, so he only asked himself to wake up and be on guard The man sees every stitch and every opportunity.

Although I have all kinds of prejudices against the Palace Master, I still have to sincerely admire the deeds and evils in his hands. He has a measure of advance and retreat, has a success and success, and the day of success is a genuine work of art.It's a pity that he can achieve great things, but he made his father feel bad.

I have been tricked by the palace master and his old man for three years, a whole three years!I am always inseparable from him. Is it because I owed him in my previous life? In this dream, I not only have to watch him eat and drink, but also watch the man I once loved, at a time and place I didn’t know many years ago. As soon as he meets a woman, he turns into an unparalleled audacity.

No one has ever told me how the Palace Master tricked Aunt Tie Ping into his hands.

He followed Aunt Tie Ping and refused to leave. He got her drunk and carried her to the bed, but told her to wake up before doing anything.Aunt Tie Ping never killed him, but instead he cried bitterly and said that he was deeply in love.And when I saw with my own eyes the man I had admired and was infatuated with, hugging the woman who tried to rape, and shouting: You can either kill me or forgive me, and I will like you even to the death——then At this moment, I took a step back and felt that I was so ridiculous.

I have no love for him for a long time, but I never thought it would be so worthless.

I still remember the pot of orchids that I threw at this person’s feet outside the prison in Qiuhuang Palace. How could I know who he was at that time? I thought he was thinking of Jiang Wuque’s wife Tie Xinlan. In this dream, I Only then did I finally see this past event that left me speechless: it turned out that he had never thought about Tie Xinlan!

Right in front of Aunt Tie Ping, she put her hand under Tie Xinlan's clothes, lamenting that Xiao Yu'er and Hua Wuque have two children, but she has already become a man - although I have followed him for so long, I have never seen him really be there for a night became a man.

In the process of transforming from a child into a man, he happened to meet Xiao Mimi, who was obsessed with life, and was afraid that he would create obstacles to other women in the world. Who would have thought that he was also a man of lust.

The palace lord insisted on Tie Xinlan, and it was Jiang Wuque who saved people at the critical moment.

Jiang Wuque once said that he was injured by Mrs. Bai Shanjun, and the gossamer needle rushed into the "Xiao Waist Point", and almost laughed wildly for three days until he died.But he also didn't say that he met the palace master molesting Tie Xinlan that day. No wonder Jiang Wuque looked down on the palace master so much in his heart. Having seen that person's ugly face with his own eyes, he might never forget it for the rest of his life.

I heard Jiang Wuque laugh against his will, and saw the palace master holding Tie Xinlan hostage, I knew that just this time, Tie Xinlan put Jiang Wuque in his heart.If it were me, I would do the same. Any man who is not afraid of life and death will rescue him. The temple master reminded him: a person has only one life, but he said that if he died for her, there is no need for any exchange—he said: It doesn't matter whether she is nice to me or not, whether she will reciprocate.

The Palace Master lost in the end, and Jiang Wuque's men saved his life. When he fled far away and felt safe, he brushed off his sleeves and said with a smile, "Idiot."

This is laughing at the man who looked down on life and death for the sake of a famous woman, which is simply unreasonable for the palace master.I watched him come to this day from his weak youth, and I already knew that in his heart, anyone's death is better than my own death.He is not afraid of anything, but he is afraid of dying, so he has always loved himself.

But even so, when he learned that Yan Nantian had captured his father, Jiang Biehe, and was going to hand over to Xiao Yu'er to avenge himself, he ran to hit the stone with an egg.

He should know that if Yan Nantian showed a flaw under his eyelids, he would die so that there was not even a scum left.Even if he really thought that he was so smart that he had won Yan Nantian, there was no need to take risks for his father.

His father didn't treat him very badly, but I always feel that as a palace master, even if his father treats him like never before, he should be the one to fly when disaster strikes.

Poor me, finally, in the boring dream of plotting and plotting, I witnessed Jiang Bie He Jiang Yulang, a father and son, who had their martial arts destroyed by Yan Daxia.In the cave, Jiang Biehe sighed and cursed, and the palace master was busy saving himself.When Gu Renyu was entrusted by Xiao Yuer to come to inform the two of their future fate, Gu Renyu politely praised Xiao Yuer's open-mindedness.When is the time for retribution, Yan Nantian wants Xiao Yuer to kill his enemies, but Xiao Yuer says: Killing them is not necessarily revenge, it is most interesting to keep them alive to repent.People kill me and I kill others, isn't it the same breed?

The hall master was forcibly gathering his true energy, when he heard this, he suddenly raised his head.

In his eyes, it wasn't rejoicing that he escaped from death, but a hatred that had his self-esteem bruised by life.Does this person have self-esteem? He always feels that if Xiao Yuer does not kill him, he will not be able to survive. After all, he will do the same to Jiang Wuque and me in the future.

After hearing what Xiao Yuer said, Gu Renyu led Jiang Biehe Jiang Yulang home, and led the wolf into the house.

The hall master changed into a gardener's uniform, hunched over, and clamped his tail tightly.I am in his neighbor's place every day, and I know best that he doesn't distinguish between the inside and the outside when he is pretending. It should be said that his work is not too dirty, but he never does it himself. His introspection attitude is not satisfactory, but he is also conscientious.

At that time, who didn't know the Jiangnan hero, the hypocritical father and son, and the servants in Gujiayuan's house were not isolated from the world, and they gathered two or three times to discuss how to eliminate harm for the people.Once Jiangbie Crane was beaten hard by someone, and the hall master passed by with two buckets of flower fertilizer, without looking at it, just walked straight past.

The crowd booed behind me, I thought he would be able to bear it, but he walked a few steps, suddenly put down the burden, picked up the fertilizer and turned around, and with a wave of his hand, he splashed the smelly thing on everyone—— His father was looking up, covering his face...

Afterwards, the palace master scrubbed and bathed his father, and learned another lesson: A small indifference can lead to chaos and big plans. Sure enough, the heat is not enough, and there is no concentration.

The hall master said at that time: "Forget it, the matter has come to this point, I can't just think about making a comeback every day."

His father nodded: "Very good, if you keep this tone in front of yourself, no one will be suspicious of you in the future."

The hall master said yes respectfully, without expression.

After that, a long time later, Jiang Biehe finally mentioned the God of Sorrow Jue one day.The father and son were originally unwilling to be lonely, so they hit it off and worked together to plan for the future.

But obviously, some words were not spoken by the Palace Master, but the facts were there.Why did his father hide such a deep secret in the past few years, such a huge secret, even if he swallowed it alone, he would suffer from indigestion, not to mention that the palace master is his own son.

He still didn't believe it.

Not long after that, the servants in the garden made a joke that went too far, and poisoned the food of the palace master and his son. The amount was not heavy, and they only wanted to punish them.The palace master wanted to stop him when he found out, but found that his father had already fainted from poison.

Afterwards, the palace master served tea and water, and served the bedside. Jiang Biehe listened to what his son said, with a clear expression on his face, but he still didn't believe it in his heart.

After waiting for a few days, he shot and dropped the same poison on the hall master, this time it was quite heavy.The palace master collapsed on the ground and twitched, Jiang Biehe looked at him coldly, "You think I don't know, when I stole my treasure map back then, today it's my turn to lose God. I thought my dogs were still kind, Who would have thought that his own son would be worse than a dog in the end!"

The hall master was originally weak and almost out of breath, after hearing this, he did not know where to find the scissors, got up crookedly, and stabbed at his father like crazy.

The two argued, and I also knew that the palace master stabbed Jiang Biehe to death.The other party couldn't rest in peace, the palace master let out a miserable smile, and said, "Since my son took Su Ying's birth control pills for all kinds of diseases and pains, he has become a hundred times more careful about poisons."

At that time, the palace master was still in the body of a sinner and killed people for no reason. He knew the rules of Gu Renyu's family well, so he threatened others to help him conceal the evidence of his servant's poisoning, saying that Jiang Biehe died of illness.

After that, it was surprisingly calm, the hall master continued to work and plant flowers until half a month later.

Those servants of the Gu family must have been too lightly fortified and bored in their free time, and gathered behind their backs to spread rumors about Jiang's father and son.

No one has ever seen the scene of how the palace master killed his father in cold blood, but everyone said it clearly and vividly.

I don't know who was unlucky that day, the hall master approached and heard it, and instantly jumped on fire.He has no martial arts, his tendons in his hands and feet have been broken and reconnected, and he can't beat six or seven people alone. He was twisted on the ground and told him to be a quiet man, and stop barking like a dog over there. He struggled desperately, and suddenly straightened his head screamed.

The cry was urgent and harsh, piercing into the ears and directly hitting the sky spirit above the head.All the servants were terrified, no one had seen such a battle at such a young age, the majestic seven-foot man, could it be said that he was hurt by the beating, or was pressed in a hurry, so his scalp turned purple , screaming so badly.

The hall master was let go immediately, went back to the room in a daze, sat for half a day, and set fire at night.

He took advantage of the chaos and escaped from the garden of Gu's family.

I followed him, seeing his sloppy footsteps, as if he was about to fall over every step he took, I was more than half convinced in my heart that he was really sad this time.

But he is different from other people. Even if most people are poisoned by their biological father, they will not kill their father at a critical moment.The hall master took the initiative to fight back, not leaving the opponent a chance.

Heartache afterward.

But now he is a felon and has become an arsonist. Naturally, the people of the Gu family will not let him go. He fled all the way like a mouse crossing the street. From time to time, he would show a state of despair. I could almost read clearly from the back of his chest. Four characters: the end of the road.

Even so, his luck is really not bad, because he met Mrs. Hu.

Back then, she was unmarried and a wife, and on the road, Mrs. Hu came from afar in a red dress, her demeanor couldn't be less of a naive and naive innocence.

She is really troublesome, seeing a group of people chasing and intercepting one person, she is righteous and saves the person who is alone.

That person is naturally the Hall Master.The hall master is in a mess and seems to be in a state of confusion. These are not important. The important thing is that he still has a look that makes women look at him more. His face is dirty with mud and water, and he wants people to see his muddy dirt clearly. the appearance below.

So after waking up, the palace lord easily captured Madam Hu's heart with a few sad and sweet words. I really can't blame him for following the trend. Madam Hu is actually more deceitful than Aunt Tie Ping.

After recuperating for several months, the palace master was in a hurry to marry Mrs. Hu in the bridal chamber when he recovered from his illness, because Mrs. Hu told him that meridians can be reshaped and martial arts can be practiced again.But she helped him out of her own volition, and she was afraid of Mrs. Hu's rebuttal because of the villain's heart, so she took a night to lock up a woman for a lifetime.

On the wedding night in the bridal chamber, Mrs. Hu didn't even understand the love/things. I stood outside the green gauze tent and saw that there was no place in the wedding room that was brightly red, and there was no word "happy".

The hall master was panting on the pillow, but he didn't give the woman a word of promise.

But this is indeed the first time he has been out of the underground palace. I have been with him for several years, and I can at least see clearly who and how many women he has met.He probably really hurt Xiao Mimi, and he molested countless women on the surface, but which time he didn't take advantage of it first, and then he was anxious. As for the matter of the bed, just looking at the next time, you can tell that he is extremely disgusted.

It was like a monk eating a long fast was forced to swallow a piece of oil-soaked fat.

After that night, there was really nothing to say.

The master of the palace had a small achievement in martial arts, so he recruited a few local ruffians to establish the Palace of Emperor Qiu.

At that time, the power of Qiuhuangdian could only control a few farmlands on the four seas, and for some reason, my father chose to help him with manpower and property, and he really lived up to his expectations. With a little support, it grew like weeds and grew stronger. unstoppable.

I have seen with my eyes that he really used [-]% of his mental strength in those few years. Just practicing again from the beginning with real strength, it would have been daunting for others.But he still has to use that low-level kung fu to challenge many sects of aristocratic families that are already well-known all over the world, although the methods are so ugly that people can't bear to look directly at them.

And his temperament has also become weird in the past few years.If a person wants to force himself to become an impossibly strong within a limited time, then he must sacrifice something.The palace master sacrificed all his fun to avenge his father.

In his heart, Xiao Yu'er, Jiang Wuque, and Yan Nantian together brought his father and son down to this point.

He personally said to Mrs. Hu: Xiao Yu'er's so-called forgiveness made him hate him so much.

On the Kunlun Mountain Xianyun Inn, he demolished Jiang Wuque's family of three. When he saw the young man Wuque who compared himself to the dust when he met him for the first time, one day he would linger at his feet, the palace master showed so much. The first smile in years.

That chilling smile hidden behind an ugly mask.

Not long after, I saw myself.

The author has something to say: Forgive me for writing a large article on the content of the cross-summary, really. . .This person is the Palace Master, even if no one likes him. . .

In addition, some people expressed their incomprehension in the male protagonist’s confession in the last chapter. In fact, the male protagonist was originally set to not confess his confession even after the end of the writing, but I suddenly felt that it was too cheating. I am sorry for the society and the people. . .Let me explain, Miss Sun has never been a good child in Uncle Wu Que's heart. The two of them lacked communication. Failure to communicate will inevitably lead to misunderstanding. It is not a day or two that Uncle Wu Que misunderstood the heroine. The two swords are the best proof Otherwise, if you are a treasure in your heart and you are so ruthless, you are really split personality. . .So in the second half of the last chapter, Uncle Wuque said that Miss Sun’s words were held in his heart for a year or two. Since he knew Miss Sun’s identity, he had been in various troubles, and what Miss Sun did was so easy to cause ambiguity. No matter how bored the male lead is, he doesn't explain what should be explained, and doesn't ask what should be asked, and in the end, he thinks more and more. He actually believes that Miss Sun is not bad at heart, so he always thinks what I can do to save you, my dear. daughter-in-law. . .

Besides, since I don’t want to see Miss Sun so much, why do I still say I like him, just like most righteous knights prefer demon girls, that is a fatal attraction,,, at the beginning, Miss Sun was forced to bow by the overlord Not to mention, Uncle Wu Que's later mental activity should be: This woman is really kind to me, but I can't like her, she is a bad person.But I didn’t seem to like it much at first, why the more I tell myself to restrain myself, the more I like it, no, I want to restrain, if I can’t restrain it, I might really like it a little bit, I must restrain it, after that I like it, I must not like her to seduce her My son, but what should I do? I like it more and more. Restraint, restraint, restraint, not good, she died. . .That's it, I thought about buying a piece of clothing with me and didn't buy it. In fact, the clothes may not be really good-looking, but I missed it. After returning home, the more I thought about it, the more I regretted it. Only to find out it was sold out and I was devastated. . .Of course it doesn't mean that Uncle Wu Que is so superficial, he is true love, but there is a reason for everything. When I have a good impression, I don't know that Miss Sun is so bad. When I know the truth, I hold it back hard. In the end, I can't stop the good feeling. . .

In the end, even if Uncle Wu Que doesn't like Miss Sun at all, the heroine did so many things for him, and finally died because of him. He must not be able to bear such a heavy view of right and wrong, and this is a romance, The male protagonist must love the female protagonist. Once the female protagonist dies, no matter how normal a person is, they will have a bit of a convulsion. They must start talking nonsense about what should be said and what should not be said. When the mood is stable, they will not say I love you or anything. When quarreling, there must be no good things to say about each other,,, and what's more, although I don't want to see the male lead, but in fact he did nothing wrong from the beginning to the end, he can choose the female lead or choose to be responsible for Tie Xinlan , People chose and persisted, but they didn't choose the heroine. . .
