(Two powerful leads + obsessive, tragic heroine and bright, mischievous male lead)
She was once Jiang Shu, an orphan whom Qi Huaiyan rescued from the snow. Frail as duckweed, she was protected by him for a hundred years. Then the duckweed shattered, and she became the third young lady of the Ling family, Ling Jinli: peerlessly beautiful, notorious for her ruthlessness, and with blood on her hands. She was no longer an insignificant nobody.
They met twice in Linqiao: once when she had fallen into the dust, and once when she had returned to the heights.
She thought she would be lost in darkness forever, but someone showed her the light.
At the Grand Principles Tournament, the two dazzled everyone, carefree youths in their prime.
When the three families fell into chaos, they joined forces against their enemies. He traded his fragile life for her return to the world of the living. From then on, she was trapped in a snowy world with him.
She searched for him for ten thousand years. The life of a god was long, and in time, she would see him again.
Ten thousand years passed. One was a remnant of the former dynasty, the other a descendant of rebels. She plotted at every turn, all so he could vie for supremacy over the Central Plains. She deceived and hurt him, all so he would turn his sword on her: with a lifetime of drunken oblivion, she would grant him a lifetime of peace and joy.
Later, she still wandered the world, seeking peace of mind for herself and for him. On the opening page of his story, she thought of him, missed him, and could not see him...
And at the end of the story, the mountains of Ying stretched on, the beginning and the end of everything. The distant bells of Ying would ring again one day: listen to the hopeless voice of the gods.
