[Powerful Man Bows His Head, Eight-Year Age Gap]
Si Wenman climbs over the school wall and comes face to face with a white car approaching. Three or four people get out and corner her against the wall.
As they struggle, a Maybach bursts out of the darkness. In an instant, the white car crashes into the roadside greenery. Its wheels scrape against the ground, throwing sparks, as flames roar and thick smoke billows.
The window of the Maybach's back seat rolls down. The man's face is as lovely as a spring mountain, his eyes smiling. It seems that someone else was the one who just rammed the white car.
That was the first time Si Wenman met Fu Yingyuan.
He turns to her, his deep gaze telling her that in this world, only money and power can stand against money and power.
Si Wenman runs after him and blocks the Maybach.

Later, a rumor spreads through the capital: Fu Yingyuan, the Fu family's cold and indifferent leader who has no interest in women, is keeping a little bird at home.
The little bird is just like her name: gentle and sweet, yet fierce as a vine. She winds around her enemies' throats without a sound, leaving them no way out, and proves herself a capable assistant at Fu Yingyuan's negotiating table.
In the villa, white mist rises. Fu Yingyuan wipes the lipstick from her lips with his thumb.
"Regret choosing me?" His eyes are half narrowed in the mist.
"No regrets," Si Wenman says with a smile.
Unfortunately, it isn't long before she truly regrets it.
Fu Yingyuan taught her that only money and power can defeat money and power. She thought that in the capital, Fu Yingyuan was the sky.
She never expected there to be something even Fu Yingyuan couldn't do in the capital, and it was the one thing she had begged him to do.
He broke his promise.
-
The day she leaves, snow falls over the capital.
"You can see me off here," Si Wenman says.
Snow dusts Fu Yingyuan's hair white, but it can't shake the smile in his eyes. "It's cold, Miss Si. Take your time on the road. May your future be bright."
Later, a friend asks Fu Yingyuan how it feels to personally let the little bird go.
Fu Yingyuan is still smiling. "She's just a bird."
But little by little, Fu Yingyuan extends his reach into businesses large and small throughout the capital, securing leading resources in every industry and weaving an airtight web over the city, one that makes the great families hesitate to approach.
They all say that now, Fu Yingyuan is the sky over the capital.
-
Snow falls over the capital again. On the rooftop of a thirty-six-story building, old grievances come to the surface. A knife presses against Si Wenman's neck, carving a bone-deep groove. The person holding it threatens the proud, upright man standing in the snow: either he jumps, or her blood will stain the snow.
Si Wenman almost laughs. "Don't waste your effort. Fu Yingyuan has no feelings."
If he did, things wouldn't have turned out this way between them all these years.
Before she can finish speaking, Fu Yingyuan steps onto the rooftop and fixes his gaze on her, still smiling. Without hesitation, he leans backward.
Thud-
If he truly had no feelings, why would he have indulged a little bird with a wandering heart for all these years, letting her do as she pleased by his side? Why would he have let her leave him so easily?

[Bonus Scene]
Si Wenman attends a banquet in Fu Yingyuan's place and drinks a glass of strange-tasting wine. Thankfully, just before her eyes close for good, she sees Fu Yingyuan.
The next morning, she wakes in Fu Yingyuan's bed wearing his pajamas. Barefoot, she walks to his study and sits on his lap.
He fixes her hair and strokes her cheek. "You worked hard."
Si Wenman shakes her head.
An assistant knocks. "Mr. Fu, that man fell down the stairs and broke his leg."
Si Wenman hides against Fu Yingyuan's chest. "He broke his leg? How awful. I drank with him last night. He was so handsome, what a shame."
"It is a shame." Fu Yingyuan smiles faintly at the assistant. "What about his hand? Is it all right?"
The assistant glances at Si Wenman, who's pretending to be flustered.
She swings her feet in Fu Yingyuan's arms and murmurs, "If his leg is that badly hurt, his hand must be a little injured too."
"Understood," the assistant says.

* Happy ending! Happy ending! Happy ending!
* Both leads are each other's first love and have only ever been with each other.
* The male lead doesn't die! He doesn't die! It's fake! He can't die! Don't worry!
