When she was thirteen years old, Xiao Huaijin lost her mother. On a snowy night, he met five-year-old Su Qingci. She handed him a piece of snow and said, "Eat it and you won't be cold in winter."
That was the first sweet taste he had ever tasted in his life.
In the next ten years, he was the third prince and she was the legitimate daughter of the general's palace. He narrowly escaped death at the border gate, protecting the land where his father and brother died in battle for her; she struggled in Luoyang, and married into the prime minister's house to investigate her father's revenge. Across mountains and rivers, they hid their love in every piece of snow and never said it out loud.
They both thought they were protecting each other.
Until in the dungeon, she watched him being stabbed to death through the iron bars. He didn't shed a tear or cry, but said two words silently——
"Thank you."
Later, wearing her wedding dress, she held his body and lit a fire.
Later, the world was at peace, the new emperor abolished the "son is noble and the mother is dead", and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. The sister of the Su family was the queen and brought her son to pay homage.
There are two packages of snow balls placed in front of the tomb. The snow fell and covered it.
The snow fell silently.
They were finally reunited.
