It's actually a love story

More than a hundred years ago, there was a wall on the border of a small town in England, and it was said that if you crossed the gap in the wall, you could reach another world.
And there was a man who passed through the wall and reached the magical world, where the market was selling caged elephants smaller than cats and jars of live eyeballs, where he also met a The beautiful princess who was chained by a witch with a silver chain that never ceases to be cut, and then the two of them...
So 10 months later, the man at home received a baby boy from the man who was guarding the fence.
In fact, what we are going to talk about is the story of this baby boy (it seems to have gone to Harry Potter = =).
Many years have passed, and the baby boy has become a big boy. He works in a grocery store and likes a girl who doesn't love her. One night he secretly called the girl out, and the two sat outside drinking champagne.
And at this time in the kingdom of magic, the king is about to die, and his four sons will not hesitate to kill each other for the throne, and even push his brother off a cliff in front of the king, and the king seems to be enjoying it , because he himself killed 12 brothers and finally sat on the throne.
But this time the king was going to change his method. He cast a spell on his necklace inlaid with a huge ruby, so that the necklace flew into the sky and fell with the stars, and whoever found the ruby ​​first would gain the throne.
And our male protagonist and the girl he likes also saw the star falling from the sky, so the male protagonist promises the girl that he will find the star within a week and propose to her on her birthday.
The boy crossed the wall and was knocked down by the guards, but when he returned home, his father gave him what his mother had left him, a letter, a Babylonian candle, lit the candle, and he could fly over quickly if he thought of anything.
At this time, the three evil witch sisters also knew that another star had fallen, and relying on the star, they could live forever and stay young forever, so one of the witches took the last star left at that time, regained her youth, and then set off. Go to the stars.
Then our male protagonist flew over because he thought of stars after lighting the candle, and hugged the star. It turned out that the star that fell from the sky was a blonde beauty.
This is how the story unfolds. The male and female protagonists are arguing and escaping from the pursuit. They also meet the transvestite leader of the air thief who likes England and his air thieves, who are called Shakespeare. The Lord and the Star are like a teacher who taught them a lot.
In the end, the male protagonist found true love, defeated the witch with Xing, reunited with his mother, and became the last heir of the kingdom by accident (his mother was a princess...and the remaining three princes also died dropped...) Then he and Xing lived happily together for a long time, and finally both of them turned into stars in the sky.
This is really a Wen Zhengguang's story = = But it's very nice, very humorous, and has a lot of jokes. Although the male and female protagonists are not famous, they acted well, and then, the leader of the air thief is Robert De Niro! The witch is Michelle not Buddha! Just looking at the two of them is enough.

    In the fairy tale world of women, only when you are with the one you love, can you have shining salvation. I really like the confession of the stars on the carriage.

    This is definitely the most beautiful adult fairy tale I have ever seen. It is neither as brain-dead as traditional fairy tales, but also not as fond of exploring the dark side as in recent works. It makes me feel so warm~~~

    [Ferdy laughs]

    Ferdy the Fence: Have you had your head in that? Has he been staying up where the air's too thin?

    Victoria: [Looking pleasantly astonished at Tristan's transformation] What happened to you?

    Tristan: I've found the star.

    Tristan: Yes.

    [Tristan reaches into his pocket and pulls out a lock of Yvaine's hair, wrapped in a small piece of white cloth. He gives it to Victoria]

    Victoria: Well, it's awfully small.

    Tristan: Well, that's just a little piece - a token for your birthday.

    Victoria: Well... Well, then forget about the star. It's not the star that I want.

    Victoria: [she puts her arms around him]

    [seductively]

    Victoria: You know what I want.

    [Victoria looks inside the cloth containing the token that Tristan has given her]

    Victoria: [ungratefully] Why would I want this? It's just a measly handful of stardust.
