[Ambitious career woman x sharp-tongued, proud, icy man]
"Miss Jiang, you have a keen eye. The snowflake-themed high jewelry piece on the screen was designed personally by Lucien, the founder of Hengyu Jewelry."
"By the way, I heard you interned at Hengyu when it was just starting out. Did you ever meet Lucien?"
Jiang Xu shifted her gaze from the giant screen in Jiangcheng and smiled, turning her head. "I don't remember."
From familiar to unfamiliar, it takes only six years.
She couldn't think of how to define their relationship: the heady pine scent of their entanglement on a snowy night, the bitter feelings roiling beneath the surface when no one else was around, or perhaps simply a secret, absurd affair from the past.
Amid the bustling crowd, she lost herself for a moment.
It turned out that at twenty, she too had once loved someone passionately and sincerely.
-
Shi Yu had seen too many young women just starting out in their careers.
They were innocent and naive, their thoughts easy to read at a glance. But Jiang Xu was different.
She made no effort to hide her bold, unrestrained ambition.
People alike are always drawn to each other.
He fell from his lofty heights into her thorn-filled jungle. Their vines twined together, inevitably giving rise to boundless desire and frenzy.
In this mortal world, love is destined to bring anxiety and fear.
In the last great snowfall that belonged to them,
he looked into her eyes and gave her the most painful, most regretful definition in the calmest, gentlest voice.
"Jiang Xu, your ambitions are vast, but you've never been willing to spare even the tiniest bit for me."
"So to you, I'm nothing but someone dispensable, someone you can use and then throw away?"
What he didn't say was:
But to me, you are my ambition.
-
Love is a strange thing.
It can make the rational lose control, the restrained fall into ruin, and the proud bow their heads.
At twenty-two, Shi Yu would never have imagined that six years later, he would lose his self-respect and pride over Jiang Xu, becoming anxious and cautious, afraid of losing her.
She said it wouldn't snow in Jiangcheng this year,
so he spent a fortune to make the whole city snow for her.
Beneath the clear white snow, his gaze burned red-hot. "Mianmian, don't marry someone else. Let's start over."
