Everyone at school knows that campus beauty Qiu Yingying and top student Wu Xingmin are exes who act like strangers.
Until the day her mother takes her through the door of the Wu family home. Looking at the expressionless boy on the sofa, she realizes fate has played a ridiculous joke on her: Wu Xingmin is her new "older brother," though they share neither father nor mother.
Under the same roof, he treats her like air. At school, when they pass each other, he doesn't even spare her a glance.
And yet this same man, cold to the bone, slips a hot-water bottle into her arms without a word when she curls up with a stomachache in the middle of the night. He picks every carrot she hates out of her food and puts them in his own bowl, all the while saying, "Don't waste food."
She thinks these careful little acts of tenderness are simply his way of fulfilling his duties as family.
Until one night, when heavy snow blocks the roads, he corners her in an empty stairwell. His breath is hot, but his voice is cold as ice: "Qiu Yingying, how long are you going to keep pretending you don't know me?"
When his kiss falls upon her, it carries the chill of a winter night and the burning passion buried for years.
The secret of that winter was known to all of Yundu. She was the only one who didn't know.
