The year ten-year-old Jiang Yingyue went skiing in Altay, her family abandoned her on a snowy mountain, where she shivered in the cold. Lu Chengying found her and took her in when no one else wanted her.
The boy, dressed in his ski gear, took off his coat and wrapped it around her. “I'll take you home.”
From that moment on, her eyes were fixed on him. She got engaged at eighteen, married at twenty, and divorced at twenty-three.
She knew his heart had never belonged to her. He had always had someone else he loved. Back on the mountain, he had been looking for his first love, Jiang Weiwei, and had only found her by chance along the way.

The moment Lu Chengying heard she had been abandoned on the mountain, he went to find her.
When he heard her father had arranged a date for her, he immediately went to his mother to ask for her hand.
When he heard her say she wanted a divorce, he was at a loss, knowing only that he had to do everything he could to keep her.
When he saw her leaning against someone else's chest and learned she had loved someone else for ten years, jealousy burned through him. He had protected her for so many years. How could he just hand her over?
In his desperation, he pinned her against a wall, lightly bit her earlobe, and whispered a warning: “If you don't want your sweetheart to hear us, don't make a sound.”
