A Long Winter Without Summer

Eight years ago, Lin Zhixia took five million from Shen Wang and dumped him with the cruelest words she could find. Eight years later, they meet again. Shen Wang has become a conductor adored by the public, while Lin Zhixia, suffering from ALS, works as a cleaner at a nightclub, unable even to hold a glass steady. Shen Wang humiliates her mercilessly, never knowing that her stiffening hands can no longer draw a bow across the strings, or that she needs handfuls of painkillers every day just to stand. Later, Shen Wang learns the truth: Lin Zhixia had already been diagnosed with ALS back then. She took the five million and shouldered the blame for his car accident alone. On the day Lin Zhixia left, a heavy, heavy snow fell over Nancheng. Shen Wang had also lost forever the girl who had risked her life to protect him through the bitter cold.
