Meeting in the Cold Wind, Bound by Fate

[Slightly yandere] [Multiple female leads] On a snowy night when he was twelve, he found the down-on-her-luck heiress Su Li among a pile of junk. Half a hard, stale bun warmed two lonely souls. One was a quiet boy living under someone else’s roof; the other, the spoiled and headstrong eldest daughter of the Zhang family. The gulf between their stations couldn’t sever their intertwined fates, but it left their childhood bond steeped in suspicion and pain.

While Su Li’s scarf still carried the snowy scent of Paris, he encountered another figure on a frigid northern night: Ling Yue, a thorny rose blooming in the darkness. With bloody deals and deadly temptation, she dragged him into the power struggles of a logistics empire. On one side was the pure, pristine first love, his moonlight; on the other, a dark companion tempered by fire. On one side was an ideal world built from lines of code; on the other, a harsh struggle for survival amid flashing blades.

From a bun on a snowy night to a programming contest trophy, from the crystal chandeliers of the Su family villa to bloodstains in an abandoned factory, Lin Mo’s world has long been torn in two. He clings to the warmth Su Li has woven for him, yet cannot resist the poison Ling Yue offers. He wants to protect the purity of their beginnings, but sinks ever deeper into darkness. When the moonlight is stained with dust and the black rose reveals its vulnerability, he stands at a crossroads of fate. Which outstretched hand will he take?

In this decade-spanning tangle of love and hate, every choice carries the warmth of blood. Some betray to protect innocence; others surrender to darkness in pursuit of redemption. In the end, amid the intertwining scents of cedar and blood, he must tear open fate’s answer.
