The Enchantment of East City, the Dawn of West City

At eight years old, Zhao Dongxiao moved with her mother into the Ling household. The unfamiliar surroundings left her at a loss. She was afraid and terrified, but she could never say so. Her young heart remained locked away in darkness, because she knew her mother had broken up someone else's family and brought her along to take their place.

At twelve, one accidental shove got her sent overseas. Delicate and tender, she found herself living in the unfamiliar, cold city of Toronto, with no family or friends, surrounded every day by a group of foreign kids who loved to bully her.

At sixteen, she welcomed her fourth winter in Toronto. That year, the weather was unusually cold. Winter had barely begun, yet snow already blanketed the whole city, and the temperature outdoors had fallen to well below freezing. It was then that she met the mysterious boy.

She was as warm as spring, while he was as cold as winter.

She tried to melt his icy heart and enter his world. But just as he was ready to open up to her, she quietly left.

After they parted, she thought they would never meet again. But one day, five years later, she spotted him in the vast sea of people. A single glance, and they were once again part of each other's lives.

Only after countless twists and turns did they understand what their hearts desired.

If he could, he would take her away from the bustle of East City and head west to Sun City.

"How could we love if we'd never met?" She could neither escape nor hide.

Her story, his story, their story began here...
