When the Blizzard comes

Sui Ye and Jiang Huaiyi once shared a time of mutual dependence.

She thought their relationship was nothing more than a secret dalliance.

He had wealth, looks, and talent—a future with him was beyond her reach in this lifetime.

Until one day, he held her bare hand and asked, “How about I give you a ring?”

The girl tilted her head to look at him, confused.

“A ring for what? We’re not even officially together.”

Jiang Huaiyi couldn’t help but laugh at her bluntness. “Be my girlfriend—give me the title I’ve been longing for, alright?”

Later, Sui Ye loved him deeply, but on the day they registered their marriage, she discovered he had been lying to her all along.

For years, she thought the name Jiang Huaiyi symbolized a burden she could never bear—a wound that would remain fresh forever.

After three and a half years, she encountered the man who once haunted her heart.

He was more mature, standing at the center of attention, exuding charm and sophistication.

This man, with whom she shared countless nights of passion, was now the major sponsor she had to thank for making her event possible.

Sui Ye approached him respectfully, raising her glass.

“Mr. Jiang, thank you for your sponsorship; the event went off without a hitch thanks to you.”

The man’s gentlemanly demeanor vanished.

“Just a verbal thanks?”

Understanding his insinuation, her cheeks flushed.

“Please, behave yourself.”

That evening, as the banquet concluded, Sui Ye returned to double-check the equipment, only to find herself cornered by the man in a narrow space.

“Mr. Jiang, please respect boundaries.”

He stepped closer.

“Boundaries? Between us? Negative ones, maybe.”

About the Female Protagonist:

The first time Sui Ye met Jiang Huaiyi was in a foreign country.

He risked his life to distract a criminal, saving her in the process.

Later, he came back to check if she was safe. Through the car window, illuminated by the streetlights, she saw a man with sharp features, short hair, slightly double-lidded eyes, and an enigmatic aura.

She was captivated by the red mole on his Adam’s apple, her gaze lingering involuntarily.

The second time they met was during a stormy night. She had just graduated and was drenched. He stopped his car and held an umbrella for her.

That night…

Sui Ye found herself on his kitchen countertop, ensnared in his fiery embrace. Her body trembled as he whispered in her ear,

“Your reaction says you want me too.”

About the Male Protagonist:

On the day his mother committed su*cide, a young Jiang Huaiyi stormed into a neighboring school to confront the culprit, only to find it was a tiny girl.

From then on, whenever he felt unhappy, he would sneak over to watch her, gaining perverse comfort from her misery.

Gradually, he realized that she, like him, was a victim of a ruthless world. They were comrades in the same trench.

He clapped for her performances from the shadows, followed her home after school, and visited her abroad.

His last memory of secretly admiring her was seeing her clutching books under a store’s awning, sheltering from the rain.

He captured the moment in a photo, placing it in a heavy journal, and penned bold words beneath it:

The little girl graduated today, soaked like a drenched chick.

Raising his head, he saw her running into the rain. He opened his car door, followed her, and shielded her with an umbrella.
