A marriage certificate changed Cen Xue's life's course.
Her father, who had always doted on her, suddenly demanded she marry a notorious playboy from their social circle, calling it a business alliance.
Cen Xue fled overnight, refusing to bow to the forces of feudalism.
On the two-to-three-thousand-kilometer journey from Huizhen to Binqing, she saw the first snow of her life.
And, for the first time, she met Lin Chuanbai.
A wild man completely beyond anything she knew.

With the forced marriage closing in on her even in Binqing, Cen Xue panicked and desperately grasped at straws, setting her sights on Lin Chuanbai.
The man said nothing. Sunlight reflected off the snow, giving his wheat-colored skin a healthy glow.
"Lin Chuanbai, will you marry me?"
Cen Xue didn't expect him to agree. She racked her brain for a way to buy time.
The man paused as he wiped his sharp knife, raised an eyebrow, and stared straight at her.
"Marriage is fine, but I don't do anything innocent."

When he was young, Lin Chuanbai served at the northernmost outpost on the border. Even after retiring due to injury, he never gave up on the idea of leaving his hometown, despite the unbearable cold, the deep freezes, and temperatures that stayed below minus forty degrees Celsius year-round.
Snow patrols, forest rescues, even being roped into working as a ski instructor during tourist season... He had done it all.
He was born here and raised here, and he loved this black earth with all his heart.
But lately, his good buddy had caught him searching for flights to the south several times and couldn't help teasing him for finally "seeing the light."
When asked why, Lin Chuanbai smiled. The tenderness in his eyes and brows was so unlike him that it seemed almost uncanny.
"The climate doesn't bother rough old guys like us, but a little girl can't handle it. She's so delicate, she'll freeze."
-
Sadly, snow melts when spring comes.
And the little girl with "snow" in her name belonged in the south, where it never snowed.
