I Met You in the First Snow, and Every Day After Was Warm

The year the first snow covered the courtyard, Su Wei met Xu Zirui.

Her pale yellow coat stood out against the snow. She held a puppy and smiled, her eyes curving into crescents. When she looked up, she met his gaze, full of warmth.

He was a cool and dignified young master from a wealthy family, yet he lowered every defense for her alone. She was a cool, independent young artist, yet only with him did she reveal her soft, vulnerable side.

Their grandmothers brought them together, and they fell for each other at first sight. He hid his joy as he gradually drew closer.

He kept her safe on snowy days, stayed with her through New Year's Eve, and publicly declared his preference for her at a banquet, pampering her like the most precious girl in the world.

She baked desserts, made pottery, and painted, using her warmth to heal his loneliness. He weathered family pressure and broke through the barriers of social class, protecting her with his devotion and giving her a life of peace year after year.

Forced apart by the difference in their status, she went to Nancheng and kept a place called "Waiting for the Wind," healing her wounds alone.

In Jiangcheng, he fought his way through every obstacle, freeing himself from his constraints by his own efforts, all to give her a future free of worry.

When they reunited, he had left his youthful awkwardness behind and become steady and reliable; she had weathered life's hardships but remained pure of heart.

Their past regrets became stepping stones, and every long wait was finally answered.

This time, he crossed mountains and seas to reach her, and she let down every defense. Their love, moving toward each other from both sides, would finally heal every wound.
