    What touched me most about the female lead was her extreme clarity. She wasn't the type to cry and wait for the male lead to come back; she understood things better than anyone else, and yet, despite her clarity, she couldn't let go—that's what's most agonizing. In one chapter, she was sorting through old things, finding a pile of ticket stubs, postcards, and odds and ends she'd accumulated over the years. She looked at each item one by one, then put them all back, not throwing anything away.

    Reader note

    Unlike typical romance novels set in urban environments, this book moves the stage to the Xinjiang border. The love story of female doctor Jiang Zhiyue and border defense company commander Wei Yunzhou unfolds amidst swirling snow and gunfire, pure and passionate. The novel employs a dual narrative structure, depicting both the long period of longing after their separation due to a misunderstanding and their shared struggle for survival on the border. The author's descriptions of the frontier scenery are delicate and moving, transporting the reader to the frigid snowfields and allowing them to experience the romance amidst solitude. This is not merely a romance novel, but a profound tribute to the border guards. The realistic subject matter lends the story a weighty foundation, offering a fresh perspective on the meaning of "perseverance." Recommendation rating: ★★★★★

Years later, the female lead's mother arranged a blind date for her, and the female lead dressed... Well, but it turned out to be him. They got together, but then broke up. The fifth book: Just read the ending; I felt the beginning was a bit wordy. The sixth book: The whole book is great. When the female lead liked the male lead, he liked her best friend. They finally got together, but the male lead died because of that love letter. However, the female lead's "brother" liked her, and she was heartbroken to see the girl die because of the male lead, and she died in the end.
