Swimming Through Snow

A star of ill fate, the snow defying destiny.

This is an age of war. Foreign enemies invade, the country is in turmoil, and ambitious schemers are ready to make their move. In the martial world, three powers stand in a precarious balance, each watching the others like a hawk. Everyone wants to rule the land.

When tenderness becomes entangled with power and schemes, who can tell how much of your fleeting affection is genuine?

On a snowy mountain, she stands atop its peak beneath the moon, looking down coldly at the chaotic world below and sighing at the course of her life. She once left these proud, snowbound heights to experience all the joys and sorrows, love and loss, of the mortal world.

A song of parting brings a tear to the corner of her eye.

Fate plays cruel tricks. The same scenes seem to repeat, as if destiny were following its old course without the slightest deviation. Is it only when two people who love each other are separated by death that they realize they have already missed their chance?

The years have changed, and we are no longer who we were when we first met. Fate has woven our lives together and swept us into conflicts that were never ours to begin with: bloody, brutal, and all too real.

But who is the mastermind behind it all, the one holding the fate of an entire world in their hands?

She silently endures being abandoned by everyone, for she was born under a lonely, ill-fated star.

When the last mask is ripped away and his false affection is exposed, she still cannot see clearly. Perhaps he once had sincere feelings for her, too.

He once gave her a red plum blossom. Now the foot of the snowy mountain is covered in plum trees. But he is gone, vanished over the edge of that unfathomably deep cliff.

Drunken plum blossoms fall, the song of parting fades. Too close to know, only cherished after farewell.

Now she is about to leap down and follow his trail, plunging into the bottomless abyss...

This novel has a touch of fantasy, with the feuds and grudges of the martial world, power struggles and usurpations within the imperial court, and wars between nations... Its genre is a complex mix, and its themes include family, friendship, and, above all, love. It tells the earth-shaking love stories of several generations and all kinds of people. Each romance has its own deeply moving story. The author is a newcomer with a wild imagination. The further you read, the more mysterious things become. The overall tone is a little melancholy, so it's best enjoyed at a leisurely pace.

A little complaint about the heroine: why is she like the Grim Reaper...

Come on, the heroine has had such a hard life. At least add it to your favorites~
