Synopsis

The most elite heir to a powerful Beijing family × a young woman from a small southern city who moved north to Beijing. From a brief romance in Kunming to an unexpected reunion on a snowy night in Beijing, he thought he could move on from her, but the moment he saw her again, he completely lost control.

She is Xu Anning, an ordinary graduate from a small southern city who moved to Beijing alone, just to get closer to the man who once gave her a brief taste of warmth in Kunming.

He is Shen Jinnian, the top heir of Beijing's most powerful family, born into privilege and raised in a world where red walls and power are intertwined.

Their sudden breakup came out of nowhere, and he disappeared without a trace. She thought their story had ended there.

Until the first snowfall in Beijing, when she crouched by the roadside waiting for a taxi, while he was still the same lofty Young Master Shen.

For the year they were apart, he tried desperately to forget her. But one glance at her when they met again was enough to make him realize he couldn't.

He secretly used his connections to help her with her work problems, but still couldn't protect her.

His arranged-marriage match showed up, slapped her in front of everyone, and called her a homewrecker.

When he arrived, he did only one thing: held her tightly in his arms to protect her.

“I tried so hard not to come near you, but you still suffered because of me.”

After they reconciled, she worked desperately to close the distance between them.

He gave her a car and a house, got her an adorable dog for company, and rejected the blind dates his family arranged.

His family strongly opposed their relationship, but he stood firm. “I'll protect my woman myself.”

But fate separated them once again.

This time, he fell into depression, spent sleepless nights, and could barely keep going by clinging to the memory of her warmth.

He was born to greatness, yet in front of her, he became consumed by anxiety and fear of losing her.

Looking for That Bittersweet, Satisfying Feeling, but Not a Truly Angsty Story

It can't be a truly tragic story! I want something where the hero misunderstands the heroine, she leaves, and he has to suffer while trying to win her back. Or where other people know the heroine is awful and unfaithful, but still fall in love with her despite their conflicted feelings. I love melodramatic misunderstandings that make your throat feel tight. They're so satisfying.

Many parts of this book are incredibly moving. It feels like the author experienced it firsthand. It truly touches the heart. First, there's the love between An Ning and Shen Jinnian, their love unrequited due to social class differences. Yet, they choose to suppress their love because of family responsibilities. In the end, neither of them can let go, leading to self-destructive depression.

It's so incredibly good! Everyone's story is so touching. The male and female leads go through so much before finally getting together, but Liu doesn't end up with the one he loves most. The most painful thing in the world is life and death. Gu and He's story is full of regrets, but it's very realistic. It's not that they don't love each other, it's just that they love each other too much.

I couldn't resist writing a review after reading only half of it!!! I especially love this book. The problems between the male and female leads are cruel but also very realistic, especially when the male lead collapses and is resuscitated for ten hours but still has no will to live. The female lead's appearance pulls him back and gives him hope for survival.

It's so good! Every character is so vivid and relatable. The male lead is loyal and caring towards his lover, patient with his children, and righteous to his friends. The female lead is resilient and warm. Their love is so deep that it's like risking their lives for each other (I cried while watching it). Looking forward to updates every day 💕💕💕

This book struck me as unpretentious and very realistic, making me want to keep reading. The male lead isn't the omnipotent domineering CEO type, and the female lead isn't the typical strong female lead, which I really liked. Their love is delicate, beautiful, and touching; they both consider each other's needs. Home is where the other is, through thick and thin.

It's a very good and touching story. The angst-filled parts really hurt me, but seeing them reconcile and live happily ever after made me happy for them too.

This is a truly wonderful book. You can't guess the author's ideas; the plot is unlike any other, especially the part where An Ning discovers she's pregnant after they separate, and surprisingly chooses to have an abortion. And now, in the latest chapter, the male lead has a vasectomy, but the female lead gets pregnant—it's really dramatic!

The storyline of Shen Jinnian and Xu Anning is an extreme tug-of-war in realistically portrayed love and heartbreak. The "class divide + personality constraints + the trials of fate" weave together the tenderness of reconciliation and the regret of being unable to control one's destiny, creating a bittersweet narrative. Sweetness is hidden within the harshness, tenderness within the pain.

What shocked me most was the relationship between Ye Jingshu and her mother. When the male lead was on the verge of death, his mother said she wouldn't interfere in his relationship with the female lead. I initially thought she was just indifferent, but later she showed concern for the female lead, making me think her character was a bit off.
