What about Notre Dame de Paris
Notre Dame
On April Fool's Day, the people of Paris carried a crippled and deformed "Notre Dame de Paris"
These were the first books to be published in the United States. On April Fool's Day, the Parisian people carry Quasimodo, the crippled and deformed "King of Fools," the bell ringer of Notre Dame, in a parade in front of Notre Dame in the Place du Gouverneur. Esmeralda, a gypsy girl, dances with a lamb, and the poor poet Ganguava is enchanted by her beauty and her dancing. He hears her singing in the night and cannot help but follow her, when suddenly two men jump out and steal her away. He recognizes one of them as the hideous Quasimodo, and is knocked unconscious by Quasimodo.
Gan Gova woke up and stumbled into the darkness of the Palace of Miracles, where beggars and vagabonds gather, and outsiders are executed for breaking in, unless a vagabond girl is willing to marry him. In the nick of time, Esmeralda suddenly appeared, it turned out to be the patrol of the archery team captain Phobos to save her out. She was so kind-hearted that she could not bear to see the death of this young man whom she did not know, and expressed her willingness to marry him, and became his nominal husband and wife. The next day, Quasimodo was tied up in the square to be shown to the public, in the scorching sun thirst, suffered from the onlookers of ridicule and insults, only Esmeralda regardless of the previous suspicion, water to his mouth, so that the seemingly obtuse and incomparable people moved to tears.
Esmeralda fell in love with the handsome Vorbis, and they had a nightly rendezvous, when Vorbis was unexpectedly stabbed, and she was arrested as a witch for it. Just at the moment when she is about to be executed, Quasimodo rushes into the execution ground and rescues her to the bell tower of Notre Dame, for it is a place where secular law has no right to govern. For the sake of her happiness, Quasimodo goes in search of Forbes, who, however, a playboy, has already left her for a new love. Claude, the deputy bishop of Notre Dame, tries to pester her, but it turns out that he looks like a man of honor, but in fact he is evil at heart and has long coveted Esmeralda's beauty. It is he who instructs Quasimodo to abduct her, and then hides in a window and stabs Forbes with a dagger. Quasimodo, an outcast adopted by Frollo, had always been subservient to him, and actually managed to protect Esmeralda from his abuse to the best of his ability.
The court decides to arrest Esmeralda, and the vagabonds rush to her rescue, which is suppressed by the king's army, with many deaths and injuries. Taking advantage of the confusion, Claude uses lies to trick Gangois into taking her out the back door of Notre Dame and forcing her to submit to him, and after a firm refusal, Frollo, infuriated, hands her over to the custody of the Hidden Sisters and goes to call the officials himself. The Cryptic Sister recognizes Esmeralda as her own daughter, lost 16 years ago, but is powerless to do anything as she watches her being taken by the officials and pushed to her death by the executioner.
Claude stands on the top floor of Notre Dame and lets out a maniacal laugh of triumph as he sees Esmeralda hanging from the gallows. Quasimodo, finally recognizing Frollo's hideous face, pounced on him, pushed him off the top of the bell tower and dropped him to his death, while he himself went to the execution ground and disappeared into the cemetery with Esmeralda's body in his arms. Years later, the remains of their embrace were found.
