South Sui Winter Encounter

Introduction to the novel "Winter Encounter in the South" Su Wan is an architect with a pure love for design, and her drawings are full of the pursuit of the warmth of life; Lu Chengze, who comes from a family of architects, is considered by everyone to be a proud man with both talent and family background, but he is tightly bound by the family's group interests and business marriage. The two met because of a landmark building project, and gradually fell in love through the tacit understanding of staying up late to revise the drawings and conduct on-site inspections. However, the power game of the Lu Group and the mother's obsession with being "well-matched" cast a shadow on this relationship. The pressure of marriage followed closely. Su Wan did not want her design ideals to become a bargaining chip in family transactions, nor did she want to be involved in the Lu family's never-ending interest disputes. Finally, under the double attack of a dispute over project leadership and a marriage that forced her to marry, Su Wan chose to escape. She put down her paintbrush, picked up her luggage, and saw the starry sky of New Zealand from the aurora in Northern Europe. She walked from the pyramids of Egypt to the wooden house in Sweden. During her journey across mountains and seas, she rediscovered her original intention in life. She found that what she really longed for was not a cold skyscraper, but a small world that could accommodate the smoke of fireworks. After returning from the trip, Su Wan resolutely submitted her resignation, rejecting Lu Chengze's offer to "give up the marriage and share resources". She contacted Shen Xingci, a close friend from college who also knew design. The two hit it off and went to Dali, Yunnan. Next to the Erhai Lake in Cangshan Mountain, they built a small courtyard called "Evening Breeze" using local old pine wood - the first floor is a cafe with the aroma of Pu'er, and the second floor is a B&B with tie-dyed curtains. The yard is full of bougainvillea and jacaranda.
