📖 Story Overview
At its core, The First Frost tells the story of Sang Yan and Wen Yifan—two people bound by fate, separated by life’s hardships, but reunited years later in the busy city.
-
Wen Yifan, now a journalist, is independent but hides her vulnerability.

Once inseparable in high school, a series of misunderstandings and painful realities pushed them apart. But as destiny brings them back together, both must face their unresolved emotions.
This is not just a love story—it’s a tale about growing up, moving on, and finding the courage to heal old wounds.
