Blurb:

Lu Yilin, the young master of Shanghai, was debonair, noble, and immensely powerful. He was a notorious playboy in his circle, and everyone treated him with obsequious respect.

But no one knew that beneath his mask of laughter and bravado lay a heart that was withered, shattered, cold, and lost.

Until he met Zhao Mingxi. She was aloof and distant, cool as the moon, yet she lifted his heart out of the snow.

"Think carefully. Every time you met him, no matter how chaotic the place was or how many people were around, did you ever see anyone smoking beside him? In a circle like theirs, who doesn't have a few vices like smoking and drinking? But he can't stand the smell of smoke, so the rich young men of all Shanghai have to live wholesome lives for his sake. Think about it: is he really someone you can afford to offend?"

Zhao Mingxi knew she couldn't afford to offend him.

But somehow, she could never avoid him.

One day, he blinked and said to Zhao Mingxi, "I have a son. Help me raise him."

Zhao Mingxi: ?

It turned out to be a cat that looked like her.

The cat had a spot on its nose, and she had a mole on the tip of hers.

She said, "A mole on the tip of your nose means you'll lose money. Are you afraid?"

He smiled. "What does money matter? Isn't life more important?"

The class divide between them seemed impossible to cross, but he insisted on coming down from his high perch for her alone.

He insisted on living with passion in this coldhearted world.

They fell in love in the snow that year, and swore that promises crystallized below zero would never break.

Lu Yilin said, "Zhao Mingxi, I've never had anyone in my heart before. If you don't mind, take all of it from now on..."

Lu Yilin had carefully called off the arranged marriage and promised her that only death could part them, yet they still couldn't escape the fate of separation. That year, in Shanghai, the city he had fought desperately but failed to return to, lived the only person he would ever love.

Looking at the stack of bank cards before him, he watched a vast sadness slowly spread through his eyes. There was no joy, only the last scraps of hope he still held for her.

He asked his older brother quietly, "I'm out of time. What do I need all this money for?"

He only wanted to go back to her.

A gentleman has a compassionate heart, and Heaven has a love of life.

When Lu Yilin finally made it through every obstacle and returned to her side, she was still the same clear-headed, sensible woman. Yet her eyes were misty, and she came running to see him, gasping for breath.

She was the lonely night, yet he could set her alight.

He was a mountain, so rigid and unmoving, yet she could make him tremble.

Without you, the universe and all its mountains and rivers are a prison. - Lu Yilin.
