For Yu Pei, there is one thing that can never be avoided between her and Pu Cun - money.
On the summer solstice of 2016, she escaped from a desperate situation and begged for a moment of safety from her uncle from the Pu family, whom she had only met once:
"Can you take me in for one night, just one night?"
That day, the long day in Beijing cast an orange-pink halo on the gray concrete floor of the parking lot. Pu Cun smoked three cigarettes in silence and drove her home.
Pu Cun is not enthusiastic, and occasionally shows some casual impatience, but he firmly supports Yu Pei's sudden decline in life.
He defined everything he gave her as support. Yu Pei tried to accept it, but ultimately failed to convince himself.
During the Christmas season when cross-border flights were packed, she didn't sleep for dozens of hours and traveled to several airports in pursuit of the answer. In exchange for this sentence:
"Yu Pei, besides money, you should not expect anything else from me."
Two years after graduation, Yu Pei returned to China with the project. On a snowy night in a mountain outfield, the car was stuck on a snowy slope, but she avoided Pu Cun who came to pick her up.
That night, he was leaning in the half-dark corridor, with one hand in his pocket and a careless posture, but when she passed by, he suddenly said: "If you don't know me, is it more important than your life?"
The frozen trouser legs stuck to his skin, and it was cold to the bone. Yu Pei clenched his fingertips and looked back at him: "I just need to know your money."

The Pu family comes from an aristocratic family, and people who want to make friends have crossed the threshold. However, the youngest son Pu Cun has not had a real partner for many years. People who know him well say that the second young master must have too high a vision. Until one day in bed, he suppressed his jealousy and mocked her for having an affair with him.
Only then did Yu Pei realize that the favored man of heaven, who was above all others, could actually be her underground lover without status.
