After the famous Liyuan actor Shang Ximei finished singing "The Drunken Concubine", while taking off her makeup backstage, she murmured to the mirror: "Captain Cheng, I have been singing this play for you for ten years."
Cheng Bozhou, commander of the city defense regiment, paused in his hand holding the gun, and gunshots suddenly sounded outside the window.
When he turned around, Shang Ximei put a dagger against his back: "You are Huangpu's best spy, did you ever expect this?"
Cheng Bozhou chuckled: "Of course. After all, the price offered by Nanjing is higher than yours."
Blood spattered on the yellowed playbill, covering a certain line of small words——
"April, spring, 1928, marriage by agreement."
