    The female protagonist was abducted by human traffickers as a child and found by adoptive parents in the snow. She was later found by her biological parents, who had no adopted daughter. Both sets of parents were kind people who loved her dearly. The marriage between the male and female protagonists was a voluntary arrangement; their families felt the other was a good person and suitable for them. The male protagonist wasn't the aloof type; he was humorous in front of family and friends and actively cultivated their relationship after the marriage. He was also very protective of his wife at home. Although the female protagonist was somewhat naive when it came to romance, she was quick to retort if someone was being sarcastic. Both were adorable, and their interactions were sweet. The other characters in the book were also very vivid, each with their own good and selfish sides, especially the male protagonist's father, who was incredibly lucky. He relied on his father when he was young and on his son when he was old, spending his days eating, drinking, playing games, and having fun. Even at his advanced age, his parents still gave him pocket money—it's truly enviable.

She was a little disgusted. This man had a special ability: he could wash socks and underwear into a tight, wrinkled mess that looked unwearable. She hadn't dared to say this before in Tachileik, but now in China, she could openly be picky. "I couldn't find any. I washed these last night, they're dry now. Sweetie, put them on. You'll be getting your period in a few days, don't let them get cold."
