Once, Cleopatra borrowed 1,000 US dollars from Hans, for which Hans revealed her love, but she had a good relationship with a tall actor Hercules. Regarding the love between Hans and Cleopatra, there was ridicule everywhere in the group. Frieda, who loved Hans deeply, was also stung by these ridicules. She knew that Cleopatra could not like Hans, only to play with him, and Hans could not listen to her dissuasion. ,. In order for Cleopatra to stop playing with him, Frieda tells her that Hans will inherit a property. Soon, Hans and Cleopatra got married, but Cleopatra just took the marriage as a joke.

    Holding a curious mind and admiring bizarre themes, but suppressing every incomplete face, it seems like a smile and a sadness, not recommended

    Quite good looking. The hostess is really unpopular. The expectation for the heroine was too high, and she turned into a chicken in the end, leaving me speechless. The story is very fascinating. Not scary.
