Name: South of the Mountains, North of the Waters
Author: Min Ran

Synopsis

Jiang Yusheng met Bo Su when she was young. Bo Su was already so cool and aloof, so lofty and untouchable, like the moon above a snowy mountain.

Everyone said the Bo family’s daughter was cold-blooded. The “Bo” in Bo Su meant coldhearted, meant indifferent.

Jiang Yusheng refused to believe them.

Until, with nowhere left to turn, she searched a thousand miles for Bo Su, only for Bo Su to stand among a glittering crowd, knit her brows, and coldly say, “I don’t know you,” shattering all of Jiang Yusheng’s fantasies.

Fog rose all around her, and she was abandoned in the snowstorm.

Years later, they meet again. Jiang Yusheng has long since stopped caring about the past, yet Bo Su kisses her in the rainy, fog-shrouded night and asks, “What are we now?”

No one knows why the always clearheaded and prudent lead host of Beicheng would willingly ruin her career and ignore the rumors, becoming captivated by an obscure restaurant owner on a small island.

Only Bo Su understands. At eighteen, Jiang Yusheng was the moonlight she couldn’t catch, the dream she couldn’t hold on to. At thirty, she became the road Bo Su found again, the beauty mark tattooed over her heart.

“Life is a wilderness. May you and I always have the courage not to fear straying from the path. Chase the wind and the moon, unafraid of the spring mountains.”

I'm pretty picky and have read plenty. I like older tops, versatile pairings, or bottom-oriented stories. If the writing is good, I'm not picky about the plot; if the plot is good, I'm not picky about who's top or bottom.
