Chapter 1
In the 30s and [-]s.

On the land of the Kingdom of Jin, warlords fought in melee, great powers invaded, wars broke out everywhere, and the people were displaced.

No one knows who will win in the end.

Li Rao.The most prosperous and affluent city in Jin Kingdom.

Here, on the surface, it is calm, but in fact, open and secret struggles are going on all the time, and people from all walks of life are eyeing this international metropolis with covetous eyes.

sleepless nights.

The most extravagant place in the city, where there are music and feasting every night.In the military, political, and business circles, it seems that no one with a reputation can escape here.

When the lights came on, the sleepless nights were already bustling.

Outside, the flower sellers, cart sellers, and dim sum sellers shouted endlessly.

Inside, men in suits and leather shoes sat there, some were chatting with friends, some were drinking tea alone, but the same thing was that their eyes were fixed on the dance floor.

On the dance floor, a woman is wearing a bright red dress, dancing to the beautiful melody.Her dancing posture is particularly moving, intoxicatingly beautiful, passionate and unrestrained, full of a flamboyant temperament.

Her name is Poppy, and she is the most popular dancer at Sleepless Night. No matter what time, as long as there is her dancing on the dance floor, there will be no seats left for Sleepless Night.

However, no one knew her real name, no one knew where she came from, and no one had even seen her real face.

On the dance floor, she always wore a black mask embroidered with poppies. No one had the honor to ask her to take off the mask to see her beautiful face.

Men are such curious animals, the more they can't see, the more curious they are, what kind of face is hidden behind such a charming figure.

At a round table on the second floor, three men were sitting, talking happily.

One of the men pointed to the poppy on the dance floor and said to the other man, "Master Tang, this poppy is a golden signboard for Sleepless Night. It fascinates many men to come to Sleepless Night to watch her dance, and it makes the family restless."

The man called Young Master Tang was wearing a white shirt and a black vest over the shirt. He had delicate features and a fair face. He looked gentle, but when the corners of his mouth turned up, he couldn't hide his aura. Frivolously, "Well, this dance is really good, but she's just a dancer, she's just blind to money, and won't be able to enter the elegant hall."

This man, named Tang Yiluo, was known as the first son of Li Rao, and his father Tang Zhengxing was the most famous wealthy businessman in Li Rao.However, this Tang Yiluo was notorious for not doing his job properly, his sex was unruly, he spent his days drinking and drinking, and his family had a wife but he was still going out for sex.The man who spoke just now was named Shen Feng, and the other man was named Tan Zifang. Their fathers were also well-known businessmen in Lirao. The three of them were very good friends, but on weekdays, they only thought about random things together. , it can be said that the three of them can be regarded as a great disaster for Li Rao.

Tan Zifang took Tang Yiluo's words, "You are wrong. I heard that many rich men want to pursue her, but she can't even look straight at her."

Tang Yiluo smiled disdainfully, how could he pay attention to women like Poppy, "That's because they are too stingy."

"Why don't you try Mr. Tang?" Shen Feng continued.

"Just try it, why don't we make a bet! If I catch her within five days, you can treat her to dinner." Tang Yiluo said confidently.

"It's a deal, if you don't catch up, you treat me." The three toasted, with similar smiles on their faces, and now they had something to play again.

The music stopped and Poppy's dance was over.The audience was still reluctant to part, but no matter how the audience shouted, Poppy didn't even look at it, turned around and retreated to the dressing room in the backstage.

Before exiting the stage, Poppy habitually glanced around today's audience, and a man in a black cloak sitting on the second floor caught her attention.This man is sitting alone, he seems not interested in watching the dance, but is more interested in the people who come and go in the sleepless night, looking around from time to time, he looks about 30 years old, black suit, black cape, black sunglasses, although far away From a distance, Poppy could still feel his powerful aura, which seemed to be able to keep him awake all night.

Poppy remembers every man who comes here to spend the night without sleep, regular or infrequent.But Poppy had never seen this person before.

However, seeing a strange man during sleepless nights was not uncommon, and Poppy didn't take it to heart.

After dancing for more than an hour, Poppy was also a little tired. She walked into the dressing room, closed the door, and sat down on the chair.

This dressing room only belonged to Poppy. It was not big in size, but it was full of cosmetics and clothes of various colors.

Poppy sat in front of the dressing table, took off the mask on her face, and gently placed it on the table.

Behind the mask was a beautiful face with fair skin, curved willow eyebrows, and expressive almond eyes.

Poppy faced the mirror, admiring her own appearance alone.

Finally another day passed, and finally I could take off the mask again and be myself again.As Poppy was thinking, she suddenly heard gunshots in front of her, followed by a commotion.

In such a troubled world, and Ye Bumei is a person with important status, it is not surprising to hear a few gunshots.

Poppy just raised the corners of her mouth slightly, suddenly, she thought of the man in the black windbreaker that she had glimpsed inadvertently, who is he?Could this gunshot be related to him?

Poppy's thoughts were interrupted, only to hear a "bang", someone broke into the door, and then quietly locked the door behind her back.

This person was the man in the black windbreaker that Poppy had seen before.

Poppy stood up in fright, pretending to be panicked, and deliberately let the tissue in her hand slip to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, there was a chaotic knock on the door, "Open the door quickly, open the door quickly, we will rush in if we don't open the door."

"If you want to live, don't move." A cold voice came from behind Poppy. At this moment, Poppy felt that her head was being pointed at by a gun.

"Hey, here we come, wait, I'm changing!" Poppy shouted towards the door.

The knocking on the door stopped, but apparently, the person hadn't left yet, still waiting for Poppy to open the door.

Poppy turned around, gently removed the gun that was pointing to her head with her hand, without a trace of expression on her face, she said coldly, horrifyingly, "If you want to live, hide behind the curtain. " Poppy said in an almost commanding tone.

The man was stunned, looking at Poppy's half-makeup face, his eyes stayed there, and he refused to move away.
