Zhou Mo, a 22-year-old college student, helps out at a funeral parlor run by a relative during the summer vacation. Late at night, the wealthy heir Cheng He and his family drove to express their condolences to their grandfather. On the mountain road, they mistakenly thought she was a ghost in a white coat. After the car crashed, she led the way and the two met.
Cheng He was introverted and taciturn, and frequently approached Zhou Mo on the pretext of paying homage, recruiting students, etc., Offering coffee and custom-made silver bracelets. But there is a hidden crisis between the two: He Mu, the daughter of a wealthy family, spreads rumors to disparage Zhou Mo's background, secretary Liu Yi secretly withholds gifts and information, and senior student Jiang Yu has been secretly in love with Zhou Mo for two years, creating a contrast.
In order to protect Zhou Mo from being harassed by the media, Cheng He claimed to be single to the outside world. After the interview was maliciously spread, Zhou Mo was violently abused online. The grievance broke out and the two had a cold war. In fact, Cheng He has been planning to propose in the snow mountain for a year.
Cheng's mother came forward to inform Zhou Mo of all the protective actions his son had done silently. The two had a frank heart-to-heart talk, and Cheng He knelt down on one knee on the top of the snow-capped mountains to successfully propose. The story ends in warmth - the best love is to live oneself as the other person's return journey.
Concept: The core concept of this novel is: true love is not to hide and protect the other person, but to stand side by side in the sunshine uprightly.
The contrasts between funeral parlors and wealthy families, death and love, silence and magnanimity all ask the same question - when you love someone, should you leave her in the dark and take care of her, or should you bear her in the open?
Cheng He used a whole year of "careful planning" and "protective concealment" to love Zhou Mo, but she was hurt in the dark again and again. But Zhou Mo always wanted only one thing: to be chosen in an honest and fair manner. When Cheng He finally stood in the spotlight and said "her name is Zhou Mo", love was truly completed - not to protect, but to stand side by side; not to hide, but to recognize.
At the same time, the novel is also saying another thing: love does not require you to change where you come from, it only requires you to stay the same as you came. Zhou Mo never gave up her job in a funeral parlor and never trimmed herself to enter the wealthy world. What Cheng He loves is the ordinary girl squatting by the pool with her hands full of soap suds, working on the verge of death.
Therefore, the end of the story is not "Cinderella marries into a wealthy family", but that both people enter each other's world with their complete selves. Love is not redemption or clinging, it is seeing, acknowledging, and putting the other person's name in the light of day.
