Tenderness in the Snow

Two gentle souls as a couple / each other's one and only / a slow, sweet romance

Born into a distinguished family and accomplished at a young age, Yu Xing'an was praised as "a brilliant young scholar destined for high office."

The year he came to Langdu, he met Su Wanwan.

Someone asked, "Are you looking at her? She's the prettiest young lady in Langdu."

He gazed at her. "She certainly is beautiful."

Su Wanwan was like a snowflake, slowly settling in his heart.

He was always by her side, quietly shielding her from the bitter wind and frost.

But that year, the political situation changed dramatically. To make Su Wanwan empress, the Su family broke off her newly arranged engagement to Yu Xing'an.

No one expected Yu Xing'an to raise an army and rebel.

He swept through the land, breached the city gates, and ascended the throne.

That day, she wept in her bedchamber.

He wiped away her tears and, after a long silence, sighed. "Don't cry, Wanwan.

"What do you want? I'll grant you everything."
