Qingli Reflected in Snow, Yearning

【Warning: Shui Mo is broken up; other pairings undecided.】 When model student Chen Sisi opens the mysterious door of the Ye Luoli doll shop, her orderly life is turned upside down. She also gains an unexpected and most precious gift: Blue Kongque, who makes a contract with her and becomes the first and best friend of her life. This friendship, precious beyond measure, illuminates her lonely world. Standing alongside her dearest friend, Blue Kongque, she awakens not borrowed power but the source that lies deep in her blood and belongs to her alone: the power of ice and snow. It is cold and powerful, like the true self locked away beneath the perfect mask she wears. But possessing power and a dear friend does not mean she has to choose between the factions dictated by the world. Faced with Fairy Queen Mandola’s ambition and Fairy Xin Ling’s steadfast resolve, Chen Sisi and Kongque choose a third path, guided by their shared will: neutrality. They belong to no faction and serve no ideology, following only their own judgment and the bond between them. The path they walk together remains full of unknowns. They seek balance between the expectations of their elite families and the duties of the Ye Luoli warriors. With each other’s company, they learn to control their ice crystals through solitary practice, and in the music room beneath the moonlight, they listen together to the whispers of the snow and ice deep within their hearts. And when the Water Prince, cold and solitary, bound by the same source as ice and snow, first turns his gaze toward the human world and senses the ever purer, more singular chill born of this deep friendship… The frozen path laid by friendship has already begun to unfold. A story of independence, choices, and precious bonds is quietly taking shape.
