Sweet version:

On the ice, Xu Tianlin and Jin Mengwu are the perfect pairs figure-skating team.

By a twist of fate, they’re separated twice.

The first time, he cushions her fall, gets injured, and misses his chance to compete.

The second time, he falls in ill-fitting skates and loses his chance to join the national team.

She says, “I only want Tianlin as my partner!”

He says, “Mengwu, don’t worry. Wait for me!”

Will they hold hands again at the training rink?

Will he be the one standing beside her on the podium?

A gorgeous, gutsy figure-skating princess and her warmhearted, devoted sidekick: they’ll give everything to fight for the honor of their country!

Literary version:

She is as graceful as a startled swan, with skin like ice and jade and the delicate beauty of an orchid.

He is handsome as jade, upright as a pine, peerlessly beautiful and without equal.

He and she are the perfect partners on the ice, a couple everyone envies,

but by a twist of fate, they are separated for a time.

She says she cares little for the glitter of the world and is captivated only by the crystalline ice rink.

He says all he wants is to stay by her side and help her soar higher and farther.

The best career is one you can devote yourself to without hesitation or regret.

The best love is one in which you help each other flourish and walk side by side.

She says, “Tianlin, you’re like a warm sun on the ice.”

He says, “I save all my warmth for you.”
