[Next novel: The Moon Over the High Terrace]
One winter's day in 2018, Zhou Xuyao traveled from Beicheng to Taxi, then from Taxi to Quna, covering thousands of kilometers just to find a woman named Li Jinnan.
But he never expected that by the time he found her, Li Jinnan would already be dead.
She had died deep in the snowy mountains, on a glacier that never thawed. At an elevation of nearly six thousand meters, the mountain was battered by winter blizzards, and few people dared to climb it.
Li Jinnan had spent four or five days in the mountains trying to photograph a Tibetan fox. By the time people found her, she had frozen to death.
That year, Zhou Xuyao pushed himself to drive for three days and nights, bringing Li Jinnan's body back to Beicheng. He buried her beside the grave he had just bought for himself.

In 2012, Li Jinnan spotted Zhou Xuyao in a group photo from her cousin's party.
Dressed in a suit, champagne in hand, and wearing a faint, detached smile, he stood out among the group of young heirs.
Her cousin was so infatuated with him that she could think of no one else. Li Jinnan glanced at the man in the photo and casually asked her cousin, "Who's that guy?"
Her cousin asked warily, "Why do you want to know?"
Li Jinnan shrugged. "His proportions are great. He'd make a good model. I want to photograph him."
Her cousin waved a finger in refusal. "No way. Someone of his status would never model for you."
A month later, Li Jinnan ran into Zhou Xuyao at a party. She pulled him away from the crowd and asked him bluntly, "I'm Li Jinnan, an up-and-coming photographer. Can I take a couple of pictures of you?"
The man glanced at her, then lowered his head with a soft laugh. "Next time, try using a different title when you talk to me."
Li Jinnan: "What title?"
Zhou Xuyao: "Mrs. Zhou."

Theme: Freedom and courage
Yes, how ironic. We thought she would die from an avalanche, but she died of hypothermia trying to save others. We always look forward to dying in a heroic and beautiful way. God seemed to be watching a joke and easily arranged the cause of our death. The story ends so suddenly that I can't accept it, even if it tells another chapter about the rest of Zhou Xuyao's life.
Zhou Xuyao, never forget Li Jinnan never
She will always be Li Jinnan, a free and kind-hearted person with flesh and blood and thoughts.
Wuwuwuwuwu, just three hours.
It's so sad. She probably belongs there too, loving, bright, brilliant, and free. She loves him, and she also loves her photography, snowy mountains, and freedom. This is the ending. If they were together, it might not be her anymore. Life might erase some of her things, and he might also pursue these things with her. The best ending might be here.
It's only three hours away, oh oh oh oh
No matter how I feel, Li Jinnan should live a good life and enjoy being loved.
After waiting for a long time, there is still no extra episode.
Damn, can you add a sequel? I've watched it three times. It's really sad. I cry every time I watch it. I really want to know the rest of Zhou Xuyao's life.
Please make a sequel, I really cried to death, I really want to know the rest of Zhou Xuyao's life, and I also really want to know Li Jinnan's inner monologue at the last moment of his life???
