Treading on Snow

Su Yu, heir to the Duke Dingguo's estate, once had a noble status and spent money like water. He enjoyed more than twenty years of carefree luxury. But after his family fell into ruin, everyone turned against him. The peerlessly elegant young noble became a jinx everyone avoided, forced to sell off his family's possessions just to get by. A saying spread through the capital: Anyone who got involved with the heir to the Duke's estate was asking for trouble. Yet one person wasn't afraid of getting caught in the fallout and kept sticking close to him, bringing him money and grain. The heir didn't want to owe anyone a favor, but had nothing to his name to repay them with. In the end, blushing, he could only ask whether he might sell himself to pay off the debt. From then on, the Duke's estate became the largest branch of Jixue Bank in the capital, and the heir transformed into the bank's proprietress, someone everyone wanted to curry favor with. The thing Su Yu regretted most in his life was buying Shen Yan's freedom but not taking him away with him. As a result, when Su Yu had everything, he couldn't give Shen Yan the very best. The thing Shen Yan regretted most in his life was not swallowing his pride and kneeling to beg Su Yu to let him serve at his side. As a result, the two of them wasted ten years. Shen Yan: "When all the glamour has faded, you're still the peerless beauty who gave me a thousand gold coins in the snow. And at last, I've become someone with enough power to protect you."
