That winter, I walked into the door of He's house.
When sixteen-year-old Shui Dongfen escaped from the water village, she just wanted to survive. Her parents wanted to marry her off to a widower in his thirties in exchange for a gift of 800 yuan for her brother's marriage. She fled to the county seat and into He's house, the home of the richest man in Miao County, thinking she had found a way to survive.
There are two young masters in the He family.
The eldest young master He Yaochuan is twenty-five years old. He is gentle and taciturn, but his eyes always seem to be hiding something. He was so kind to Dongfen that it made her heart beat. She thought it was love.
The young master He Yaoheng was eighteen years old. He came back from the Provincial Conservatory of Music with a smile on his face, but he always stared at his brother when no one was around. He began to get close to Dongfen, flirt with her, and take her to the streets, listen to songs, and watch the snow. She thought that was also what she liked.
Until that snowy night, blindfolded Yao Heng grabbed someone in the box and kissed him - it was Yao Chuan he caught.
Dongfen's world cracked open at that moment. She discovered that she had never been the protagonist of the story, just the mirror that reflected the eyes of the brothers who dared not look into each other.
In the winter of 1993, a heavy snowfall covered Miao County. The secrets of the He family exploded one by one this winter - the father's crime, the mother's silence, the love and hate between the two brothers that have been entangled for more than ten years. And Dongfen, this country girl who escaped from the water village, finally learned one thing after loving, hating, and despairing:
It's easy to accept fate, but one always has a choice.
A country girl, two brothers, a winter's game and redemption.
Intention: It is easy to accept fate, but people can always choose.
