When the Snow on My Old Mountain Melts, I Still Won't Meet You

On the twenty-seventh day after their wedding, Lu Wantang's husband, Pei Zhaochuan, personally led troops to seal off the Lu family's dye workshop.

The Lu family was accused of switching out supplies meant for the Northern Border army, causing three thousand soldiers to freeze and starve to death. Among the dead was Pei Zhaochuan's only elder brother.

Before the execution grounds, her father did not plead his innocence. He left Lu Wantang only half a length of ruined blue silk. When Pei Zhaochuan asked where the other half was, she said she had burned it.

He refused to divorce her and kept her by his side while he investigated the case. She refused to hand over the silk and used his identity to investigate what had happened to her father and brother. Their nearly two years of marriage were half old love, half family vengeance. Later, her father was executed, and her brother died by her husband's arrow. At last, she divorced him.

But when war flared up again on the Northern Border, they kept saving each other, while repeatedly giving each other up for the sake of more lives.

Eight years later, the truth came to light. They agreed to wait until the snow melted on their ancestral mountain, then live ordinary lives.

But that year, the snow melted.

Pei Zhaochuan never came back.
