At the age of eight, Su Wang was brought home from an orphanage by Lin Yan, who was frail and sickly. Lin Yan gave him a warm home and devoted care, and from then on, Lin Yan was all that filled Su Wang's world. As Lin Yan's health worsened, Su Wang grew ever more possessive, desperate to keep him by his side. During a trip north, Lin Yan's condition took a turn for the worse, but he still forced himself to accompany Su Wang to see the snow. In the end, Lin Yan died on a snowy day, after going alone to the mountaintop to watch the sunrise. Only when Su Wang read the letter Lin Yan left behind did he learn that Lin Yan had long known about his feelings and was well aware of his own illness.
