Chapter 1

Because of the blizzard, Ryan's first love was stranded on the snowy mountain.

Ryan was severely injured and fell unconscious trying to save his first love.

Due to the lack of resources, I couldn't bear to watch him suffer. I had no choice but to bite my wrist and use my blood as water to save his life.

Unexpectedly, the first thing he did when he woke up was to try to leave with his first love.

I had lost too much blood and could only watch helplessly as he left with his first love.

He looked at me apologetically: "I'll send a rescue team to save you."

The wound on my wrist kept me painfully awake, but it was nothing compared to the fear of death from my body losing heat.

"No..."

My weak groan didn't make Ryan turn back.

He walked away, carrying Sophia in his arms, getting further and further from me.

In the freezing cold, there were only their silhouettes, supporting each other like a couple in distress.

Sophia hugged Ryan tightly, deeply moved.

I could hear their voices:

"Ryan, if we make it out alive this time, I'll marry you. I've finally realized that you're the only one who truly loves me."

I couldn't see Ryan's expression, but I saw them kiss passionately as the snow fell around them.

"I love you too, Sophia."

I felt waves of cold and heartache wash over me.

The pain from my wound had even subsided somewhat due to the numbness from the cold.

I could only tear off part of my inner clothing to roughly bandage my wound.

But it was far from enough to ease my despair and pain.

My eyes remained fixed on Ryan, desperately hoping he would look back at me one last time.

But his steps, though slow, were determined. He never glanced back in my direction.

I leaned my body against the snow cave.

Watching their silhouettes disappear before my eyes.

My eyes stung with unshed tears, my body nearly frozen stiff.

"Don't cry, the tears will freeze," I told myself.

I tried my best to hold back my tears.

Until my blood gradually stained the snow red.

I waited from dawn to dusk, but the rescue team Ryan promised never came.

After two whole days, my body was too cold to move.

We had been stranded on the snowy mountain for five full days. I had only come along to save Ryan in the first place.

I hadn't brought much food with me at all.

The hypothermia even made me feel feverish.

I had no strength left.

My heart was filled with despair.

Stranded on this endless snowy mountain, dying here.

My heart was full of resentment.

And despair towards Ryan.

If I had known this would be the outcome, I never would have come to the mountain with him.

Before losing consciousness, I thought helplessly:

If I can make it off this mountain alive, I will never love Ryan again.

In my hazy state, I seemed to see a figure walking towards me.

My body had warmed up enough that I could feel the heat from another person.

I desperately clutched his hand.

"Save me..."
