   This book is alright, but it gets really intense after chapter 25. It features a forced marriage, a wife-chasing drama, the powerful bowing down, the male lead turning evil, and many flashbacks to the female lead's past life and the male lead's longing for her – it's incredibly moving. Early on, the male lead has a "white moonlight" (a term for a devoted, unattainable love interest) and repeatedly abandons the female lead for him. The female lead was initially abandoned by the male lead's subordinate (the second male lead) because of the same "white moonlight." The male lead and the second male lead are both scumbags who abuse the female lead in the early stages. Later, the male lead and the second male lead experience a wife-chasing drama, the powerful bowing down, and the male lead going mad.

The once dignified and refined young master Bai, unable to bear the blow of losing his beloved, turned white-haired overnight. He trudged through the snow-covered courtyard towards the gate, his robes fluttering, his silver hair flying, the snow swirling around him, as if he had become one with the icy landscape, indistinguishable from it. He left the mansion and headed directly towards the Prince of An'nan's residence, An'nan silently following not far away.
