In the middle of the night, a man in a white shirt and trousers strolls by the fountain in front of the apartment building where he lives. The man is a young man named Yu Xingchui, who is a member of the "blue clouds" community, a group of wealthy people who live in high-end apartments in the city's central business district. The young man tells the man that he is planning to leave his fortune to his niece, who will inherit it upon his death.
