Six months ago, Gu Nian dumped her boyfriend, Huo Chen, with the dismissive excuse, "I don't like you."
Six months later, the two ran into each other at Yuesè, a bar known as one of the Magic City's most extravagant dens of indulgence.
Huo Chen cornered her against the wall and glared at her skimpy outfit, gritting his teeth as he demanded, "You disappeared without a word, Gu Nian. You've got some nerve! What exactly is wrong with me? Tell me, clearly!"
Gu Nian, who worked part-time at the bar as a pianist, had no answer. She lowered her head and admitted, "It was my fault."
Huo Chen grew even angrier, his tone dripping with sarcasm. "Don't tell me you don't like men."
Gu Nian: "Actually, I don't like people..."
(Dazai Osamu mutters: To be or not to be, I am...)
Huo Chen laughed recklessly and casually loosened his tie, casting off the careful gentlemanly facade he'd once maintained. Fine, today could be a day when he didn't act like a decent person.
The young master Huo was renowned in Kyoto, born at the very top of the social pyramid. Then he met Gu Nian, and everything began to spiral out of control.
People said Gu Nian was gloomy and aloof, but no one knew how much pain she'd swallowed alone.
People also said that Gu Nian was beautiful, but treated men like snow that had lain undisturbed for a thousand years.
But Huo Chen wanted to know what temperature that snow was.
