Snow Clears, Spring Returns

Five years ago, the eldest daughter of the Lin family rescued a young man lying in a pool of blood.

Five years later, that young man became Ji Sui, a powerful general holding immense authority.

Everyone thought good times were ahead for the Lin family, but unexpectedly, an imperial decree came down, and the entire Lin family was confiscated and exiled, leaving only the eldest daughter, Lin Zhen. Indeed, what powerful minister could tolerate someone who had seen him in his most desperate and fallen state? Yet, hearts are made of flesh and blood, and ultimately, he couldn't bear to part with this eldest daughter.

But the next day, Lin Zhen's sedan chair was carried to the Jiaofang Division—a place specifically for courtesans who entertain officials. Some speculated that the eldest daughter must have tormented him greatly over the past three years, which is why she now faced such suffering. Unexpectedly, later, when news of Lin Zhen's death reached the General's Mansion, Ji Sui went on a murderous rampage outside the Jiaofang Division.

After Lin Zhen's death, not a day passed without him suffering from a heart ailment. He never imagined he would see Lin Zhen again in this life, but by then, there was another man by her side. Although the man was crippled in both legs and confined to a wheelchair, he still possessed a dignified and unyielding spirit, much like hers. It was something a despicable person like him could never dare to hope for.

Note: The female lead did not become a courtesan; the Jiaofang Division was merely a disguised form of imprisonment by the male lead for the female lead.
