He is Huo Zhanbai, a wandering swordsman who has spent years seeking a cure for a dying child. Stubborn and fearless, he has always trusted his sword more than his heart.
She is Xue Ziye, the formidable Master of Medicine Valley: cold, independent, and the only one who can help him.
Their paths will cross and separate through eight long years. They argue, challenge and protect one another, bound by old wounds, unspoken feelings, and responsibilities neither can abandon. In a world where love is rarely spoken, they come to understand one another through sacrifice, restraint, and all that is left unsaid.
Yet there are some ties that cannot be severed, even if they are left unfulfilled.
When the snow finally falls, what will remain between them? Who will stand beside him when the journey he has devoted his life to comes to an end? And who will support her when she must make the choice from which there is no return?
