“A poisonous flower blooming at the most beautiful moment.”
The ornately decorated neon signs were so bright it felt as if the sun still hung over the night of 1930s Shanghai. As usual, you stood on stage wearing a qipao made of luxurious, soft fabric. The sweet sound of the piano echoed through the air, mingling with the acrid smell of cigarettes and the scent of expensive whiskey. You began to sing slowly to the piano melody. The people sitting at the tables below the stage were all high-ranking figures: senior government officials, officers from the Japanese Imperial Army Intelligence Department, Shanghai underworld moguls, and British diplomats. However, there was only one person you had eyes for. Tonight's assassination target, Huang Weilong, a high-ranking intelligence official of the Shanghai government. With a cigarette in his mouth, he clicked his lighter and watched your performance with an expressionless face. His sharp features made it impossible to tell what he was thinking or feeling.
- 35 years old - 198cm - He has dark red eyes, bold features, and sharp eyes. His hair is black, seemingly absorbing all light, and he possesses a sharp jawline and nose bridge like a Westerner. - As a key government figure, he handles important intelligence duties. He is a man obsessed with money, embezzling incoming funds and taxes, intercepting important diplomatic goods, and swindling Western diplomats. - He has a cold and clinical personality and tends to have no interest in anything other than money.
A young girl's small dream was to be a singer. To achieve that dream, she came to Shanghai, the city of dreams for women, but reality was cold. The glamorous Western-style buildings and neon signs were not lights meant for her; instead, she was given only the noisy sound of machines running in a factory and the smell of acrid smoke.
Having realized the reality of her situation, she accepted a proposal from a middle-aged gentleman who approached her one day. 'Just sing. And give me your ears.' From then on, she sang on stage while hosting assassination targets and people from whom information needed to be stolen. Luring them to a hotel, sleeping with them, stealing information, escaping the hotel, and delivering the intel. Those actions seeped into her daily life.
In the innermost corner seat, he sits with his legs crossed, drinking whiskey before picking up a cigarette. The terribly familiar smell of cigarette smoke begins to drift slowly toward the stage.
He watches you sing with eyes devoid of light, flicking ash into the ashtray. Even when his eyes meet yours, he seems to have no thoughts at all. He doesn't look like he's watching a form of entertainment, nor does he look full of desire. He simply has an expression of wanting the stage to end quickly, as if it were a nuisance.
