She, the second daughter of the Bluen consortium, a figure of envy among the rich second generation. No matter who she mentioned, they were all figures that others flocked towards. However, her boyfriend was getting married, but she was not the bride. She, who had always been so noble and lofty, was cruelly abandoned.
He, the CEO of Valence Group, the intimidating young master of the Horne family and a prime example of the rich second generation. Little did people know, his bride ran away on the day he planned to register for marriage. He too, was cruelly abandoned.
Laughably so, He was her soon-to-be brother-in-law.
Seeing her angry and lonely future brother-in-law, she suddenly jeered, "We both have been abandoned. We would make a perfect pair."
He pursed his lips in silence.
The next day, he took her to the Civil Affairs Office to go through the marriage registration process, having her replace her runaway sister as his bride.

"Julia, I now realize that I have always loved you. Do you know that I think of you all the time? I married her just so I could have a secure footing in the company." Her ex-boyfriend, gripping her hand, whispered this soft confession of his misguided actions in the past.
Before she could react, a strong hand appeared out of nowhere, fiercely grasping her ex-boyfriend's wrist. He cried out in pain, causing a stir among the guests at the wine party.
He stood by her side, one arm draped across her shoulders, gently and passionately smiling while saying, "Wife, tell him, who am I to you?"
Gazing at his handsome appearance, noble aura, and two bodyguards following him, her ex-boyfriend's face quickly drained of color, as if he had just realized something.

"Young master, the young mistress said something strange today." The housekeeper, trailing behind him, was reporting her daily activities.
"What did she say?"
"The young mistress said she wonders if snow flying in June would be beautiful." The housekeeper finished his report and carefully observed his reaction. After all, how could it be possible for there to be falling snow in the scorching heat of June?
Once again, he pursed his lips in silence, then silently went upstairs.
The next day.
As soon as she stepped out of the main house, she was stunned. The sunrise filled the high sky while the expansive courtyard was covered in white snow. It was a vast expanse of white, as if it were midwinter, and countless snowflakes were dancing in the sky. The snowstorm was of extreme beauty.

Ethan Aibileen's hand suddenly went stiff. He turned his head and saw Ivan Horne, face cold, striding toward him. This was River City—how could Ivan show up right on cue as well?


Ivan Horne came over, grabbed Ethan Aibileen's frozen hand that didn't even know to pull back, and flung it away hard.


"M-Mr. Horne, I—I just care about Lia Aiken, I don't mean any harm." Ethan Aibileen did like Lia Aiken now, but in front of Ivan Horne he still chickened out a bit, not daring to clash with him head-on.


"Thank you for your concern, Young Master Ethan. Lia Aiken is my girlfriend. My concern is enough for her; there's no need to trouble you. It's late—please go home." As Ivan Horne spoke, he had already taken his place at Lia Aiken's side. His tall, strong frame was like a towering tree, there to shield her from wind and rain.
