A reporter asks:

“Emperor Zhou, how did you and your wife meet?”

“We met when we were young and stood together in the same snowfall.”

Zhu Yu loved Lu Jin'an for four years.

Lu Jin'an spent four years waiting for his first love.

For all those years, Zhu Yu was his secret girlfriend, hidden from the world.

When Lu Jin'an's first love returned home,

one of his friends joked, “Why not have both? Zhu Yu treats you well.”

“She isn't worthy.”

Hearing Lu Jin'an say that, Zhu Yu decided to let go.

She broke up with him, and Lu Jin'an sneered, “You think I care?”

“Who else can you rely on besides me? Zhu Yu, you have no family...”

Just as Lu Jin'an waited for Zhu Yu to come crawling back,

a devastatingly handsome man appeared at her side, put an arm around her, and called her his wife.

And that wasn't all: Zhu Yu turned out to be the long-lost daughter of the wealthy Song family, doted on by her parents and brothers like a little princess.

Lu Jin'an regretted it. “Xiao Yu, I was wrong. Please look back at me.”

Zhu Yu sneered. “Sorry, I don't pick up trash.”

---- Story break

Zhou Shiyue has someone dear to his heart.

Years later, when they meet again, the two once more stand together in the same snowfall.

Seeing the girl's nose reddened by the cold, he wraps a scarf around her neck and smiles tenderly. “It's cold. Let's go home.”

Marrying Zhu Yu was Zhou Shiyue's dream as a young man.

Loving Zhu Yu is what he will do for the rest of his life.

“If you'll take one step toward me, I'll take the other ninety-nine.”

They clasp hands beneath the snow today, and are destined to grow old together.
