Chasing Snow to Mount Jian

[Marriage Before Love] Cool, powerful man vs. pure, strong, delicate flower

Yu Jin first met the kind benefactor who was paying for her education when she was sixteen.

A mean teacher deliberately told her to bring her parents in. With only her bedridden grandmother at home, Yu Jin was at her wit's end and thought about dropping out.

When she got home, a man in a black overcoat was standing in the cramped room. Yu Jin had never seen anyone so handsome. It was as if he lit up the dark room.

Feng Qing glanced down at her tear-streaked face and held out a silk handkerchief. His slender fingers were even paler than her face.

That afternoon, the man went to the parent-teacher meeting in her place. Yu Jin stared in bewilderment as the principal, the county magistrate, and even the mayor hurried over after hearing the news.

She met Feng Qing again on Chunhua Street.

She was a sociology student, and her teacher had ordered her to follow two upperclassmen to the street to conduct interviews.

Halfway through, she stood by the roadside, aching all over and carrying two bags of equipment.

Some rich young men who had had too much to drink whistled at them.

A black car pulled up, preceded by two security guards wearing white gloves.

Yu Jin recognized them as employees of the most expensive bar on the street.

The group of spoiled rich kids who had just been acting fearlessly, with no one daring to cross them, saw the car and immediately changed their tune, scattering like birds and beasts.

The unmarked black car slowly passed right in front of her.

Yu Jin instinctively stared through its fully tinted windows, but couldn't make out even a hint of the person inside.

Only later did she learn that the person in the car was Feng Qing, the mysterious and formidable figure of Beicheng.

The next time they met was at an estate. She sat stiffly on a soft sofa, staring at the "marriage agreement" in front of her.

Feng Qing stood on the stairs, looking down at her with the detached air of someone long accustomed to power.

Yu Jin could never have imagined then that someone destined to live an ordinary life would spend the rest of hers entangled with this unattainable man.

Nor could Feng Qing, a man who had always lived a life of boundless splendor, have imagined that one day he would struggle to ask a woman, "Yu Jin, could you try to care about me a little?"

At first, I only wanted to chase a snowflake. Then I met a whole range of snow-covered mountains.
