The first story: Love in dust is like snow
The Southern Kingdom is a weak country, with less than half the number of people in other countries. Although it is weak, it has still stood on this land for hundreds of years and has not disappeared. The reason why we have been able to avoid being ruled by other countries for hundreds of years naturally comes at a price. Paying tribute is the best protection, and there is no limit to the things that can be paid as tribute, including coins, grain, animals, and... People.
The moment Xue Chen was born, he was hidden by the ruler of the Southern Kingdom. The reason was that Xue Chen's hair was rare silver-white, and he could even be said to be the first person to do so in thousands of years. The leader of the Southern Kingdom did not want such a beautiful son to be chosen by another country. If another country has a designated person in the Southern Kingdom, even if it is his own son, the leader of the Southern Kingdom will reluctantly offer him up.
However, after a beautiful encounter, Xue Chen was sent to the largest and strongest land of wind and snow, the North Country. The Northern Kingdom explained that as long as the Southern Kingdom handed over a white-haired man, the Northern Kingdom could prevent the Southern Kingdom from being bullied by other countries for a hundred years, and they would even be exempted from paying tribute.
The leader of the Southern Kingdom was unwilling to let Xue Chen go, but he was the leader of the Southern Kingdom. He could not give up such a great opportunity just because he favored his son. He had no way to explain to his subjects.
In the end, the leader of the Southern Kingdom let Xue Chen make his own choice. Xue Chen, who had always been protected, felt that he finally had a chance to do something for the South Country, and he was very happy.
Since then, the life he has experienced has been the happiest and most painful for him.
