Sinking Together in the Snow of the Capital

[Beijing Power Circles] [Rekindled Romance] [Mutually Devoted]

The year Shen Ningzhi arrived in Jingbei, full of hopes and ambition, she never imagined that one day a man would make her swear never to set foot there again.

--

During her first year with Jiang Xunzhou, someone hinted to her that fate was a knot that could never be untied, and that a man like Jiang Xunzhou was always at the mercy of circumstances.

But Shen Ningzhi didn’t believe it. When they first met, Jiang Xunzhou had rescued her from what people called "fire and water."

In their first year, she paid no mind to those hints.

By the fifth year, as time passed and the future grew uncertain, she had begun to feel afraid, too.

But Jiang Xunzhou had told her more than once, "Zhizhi, no matter where you are, I’ll always be able to protect you."

In their ninth year, someone set a deadly trap. Shen Ningzhi stood at the heart of the storm, yet emerged unscathed in the end.

But once everything had settled, the knot binding Jiang Xunzhou’s fate was severed, falling apart completely.

One day, Shen Ningzhi suddenly realized that their first meeting had meant nothing at all. By then, it was already too late.
