Snow Over the City: A Young Cook, Wine Brewed in a Bamboo Pavilion, and Green Silk Robes

Xu Qiqi, a farmer’s daughter, sets up a thatched hut beside a roadside pavilion and sells food. One day, she meets Gu Changting, a scholar traveling to the capital to take the imperial examinations, who has caught a chill. She warms him with wine, and after he recovers, Gu Changting marries her out of gratitude. When he passes the examinations and becomes an official, he takes Xu Qiqi with him to his post in the provinces. Together, they work hard and rise through the ranks, eventually earning her an honorable title. A moving story full of warmth and affection.
