North City Storm and Snow Record

A marriage that started with a contract, two people who are used to hiding their true feelings. She came to save her brother, and he married to take advantage of the Shen family's business network. Everyone thought the other was acting. Until she calls out his name on a snowy night, until he finally sleeps peacefully beside her - "Northern City Snow Record" uses an "insomnia" setting to reveal a man's most secret weakness, and also describes a woman's step-by-step decline from "use" to "deep love". The writing is restrained and the emotions are precise, sad in the bones and sweet in the heart. It's the kind of book that makes you stare out the window for a while after reading it. When I was writing "The Snow in the North City", I kept thinking about what was the most touching thing about love in the Republic of China. The two people were obviously sincere, but they both thought the other was acting. She burned his military orders, took away his military power, and pointed a gun at his temple on his wedding day. The whole city said that Marshal Lu married a madman. But only Shen Fuqing knew - every stab she struck stabbed him in the heart. Every time he didn't fight back, it was because she owed him too much. Chasing the wife at the crematorium is not a routine, it is two people covered in thorns who finally learn to embrace. If you also like to watch evenly matched sadomasochism in the Republic of China, this story is written for you.

I've only read page 330. I like the male and female protagonists.
