"This is the price paid for excessive pursuit of a high-quality life, just like some people are willing to take on a mortgage for thirty years in order to buy a house. This will ruin their whole life..."

Xingqiu was full of emotions. He felt that he had almost understood this story. It was a story about a vain woman who destroyed her life for her own selfish desires. The connotation was to advise people to cherish the present and not pursue transcendence too much. Something of one’s own ability.

The connotation and concept are quite good. In Xingqiu's opinion, this story can be considered a good work.

But he felt that it was still a little inferior to the "Story of Maggie" written by Qian Jian before.

What's the difference?

The difference is at the end.

Xingqiu felt a little regretful: "If there was a shocking twist at the end, this would be the style of Thousand Swords."

There are not many stories left, and Xingqiu plans to finish reading it quickly and then read the next story.

[One Sunday, Mathilde accidentally met the owner of that necklace, Mrs. Forestier.

I saw that she was still young and beautiful, but Mathilde was old and vicissitudes of life.

But there was no trace of jealousy or shyness in Mathilde's heart. She stepped forward to say hello generously, and told her friend about the necklace and the hardships she had endured over the past ten years.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Forestier said in shock: "Oh. Poor Mathilde, but my string is fake, at most worth five hundred gold francs..."]

The story stops abruptly and ends there.

That’s one hundred and sixty-two words.

Xingqiu felt as if he had finished reading an article of more than 10,000 words.

The content contained in it directly impacted the depths of his soul, causing him to be completely confused now.

The necklace...is actually fake?

He guessed that the heroine would buy a fake necklace and return it to the other party, but he never thought that what the other party lent was actually a fake necklace!

For such a fake necklace of only five hundred gold francs, someone actually risked his life?

How ironic?

How absurd?

this......

Xingqiu felt his mouth was dry, so he picked up the coffee at hand and drank it in one gulp!

The bitter taste filled his mouth. His eyes suddenly widened and he stood up suddenly!

This ending? This familiar feeling? This shock to the soul?

It's him!

That's right! it's him!

Thousand swords!

It must have been written by him!

After Xingqiu figured it out, he laughed.

"Even if you hide your name, a shining person can't hide your own light."

Without thinking, he directly voted out all three votes in his hand, and then selected [Thousand Swords] in the guess column.

"I'm sure this must be the work of Qianjian!"

Xingqiu is very confident.

"The ending written by others doesn't have such a strong flavor!"

Of course, to be on the safe side, he continued to speed up and read the rest of the works. After reading them, Xingqiu was even more certain that this "Necklace" was definitely written by Qian Jian!

Discussions among readers have also become more and more intense.

"This novel is set in the 19th century. It seems to be satirizing the heroine's love and vanity, but in fact, if you look closely, the people in this novel seem to be living a luxurious and lascivious life. They are greedy for enjoyment, pursuit of material things, and individuality. Everyone wants to get rid of their current situation and join the ranks of the upper class, but they often end up in a more miserable situation."

"After a little comparison, you can find that the characters in this novel seem to have prototypes in today's society, and even some backgrounds are very consistent with some situations in today's society..."

"It seems to be criticizing the previous system of big bourgeoisie in power, but in fact it is basically borrowing from the past to satirize the present, right?"

As soon as this comment came out, it immediately caused an uproar.

"Damn it, you really dare to say that! The author of this novel is also really brave! Can this be used as satire?"

"I'm so impressed! In today's society, there are many people who love vanity! But if those people encounter the situation in the novel, I'm afraid they won't be as good as the heroine. At least the heroine dares to act! "

"This is absolutely true. Only those who have experienced it personally can empathize with it more. Not everyone has the courage to bear the brunt of a big disaster."

"The heroine's husband is also a man. He is willing to accompany his wife to pay off her debts even if she makes such a big mistake. If it were now, I'm afraid he would have started writing a divorce agreement."

"Haha, husband and wife are like birds in the same forest. When disaster strikes, they will fly separately, right?"

......

In the heated discussion, people became more curious about the author of this novel.

Who is it? How could he actually write such a masterpiece?

"The ending of this novel has the feeling of [Thousand Swords Ending], and Thousand Swords also participated in the event this time. Could it be that it was written by him?"

"It's hard to say. The authors participating this time are all very capable. There are also several articles that use the [Thousand Swords-style ending]. I can't be 100% sure that this is written by Qian Jian. It may be someone else."

"I think someone with this kind of writing skills must be a famous writer who has been famous for a long time!"

"There is no doubt about the literary talent of this writer. The number of words in this novel is only more than a thousand words! I can conquer readers with more than a thousand words. I don't need to explain the difficulty of it. Without further ado, I will give you three votes. All voted for "The Necklace"!"

"I voted! I have to vote! There are not many novels that can conquer me. "The Wolf" counts as one, "The Gift of the Magi" counts as one, and now "The Necklace" counts as one!"

"I'm already looking forward to it. When the author's name is revealed, I will take a closer look to see who can write this work! I will immediately become a fan!"

"..."

Soon, as the number of readers’ votes increased, “The Necklace” deservedly occupied the top spot!

Its huge number of votes steadily surpassed the second and third place, directly surpassing the second place by a large margin!

It can be said that the outcome has been decided, there is not much suspense at all!

Seeing this result, not only readers, but also writers in the industry were talking about it and were very curious!

"What the hell? Who wrote this article? Is it so outrageous?"

"I can't tell. Just looking at the writing style, there are hints of Thousand Swords, but there's no way to be sure. After all, everyone has watched "The Gift of the Magi", so it's not difficult to imitate that kind of ending."

"Could it be Lao Lin? Hasn't he been thinking about the [Thousand Swords Ending] recently? And he also said that he has made some achievements?"

"It's probably not Lao Lin. Although he participated in the competition and the article he published did use the [Thousand Swords Ending], he just asked me privately if I knew who wrote "The Necklace"."
