Recap
Wei Zhi was a comic artist with delicate, porcelain-like skin and stunning beauty, exuding both elegance and a mischievous charm. With her natural beauty, she could easily take shortcuts to success, but she was determined to rely on her talent. She spent her days hunched over her computer, meticulously drawing her comics, and even in her dreams, she was surrounded by the characters she created.
Despite her dedication, her boss always took her work for granted, frequently calling her to attend inexplicable dinner gatherings. This time, Boss Wang once again asked her to join a dinner, claiming it was with an investor and she needed to get there immediately. Unable to defy authority, Wei Zhi rushed to the scene.
However, during the dinner, she overheard the investor admitting that they had never even seen their comic style but were only interested in their promising data, which was why they were offering an investment. Disappointed, Wei Zhi suddenly received news that a short video about their studio had gone viral, accusing their team of being irresponsible and claiming that some of their comic characters were AI-generated.
Wei Zhi was shocked by these false accusations — she had personally hand-drawn every single stroke — how could someone throw dirt on her like this? Wei Zhi tried to explain the situation to her boss, but he refused to listen, immediately instructing her to issue a public apology and pin the blame on her assistant for the alleged AI generation. Wei Zhi strongly disagreed — the assistant was innocent, and she refused to let her take the fall.
Furious, the boss reminded her that the comic was no longer just her personal work but represented the company's collective effort. Because of her refusal to comply, the boss coldly dismissed her on the spot. With her job lost, Wei Zhi had no choice but to find another way to make a living. She printed out her previous works and set up a street stall near an anime exhibition, hoping to sell her comics.
Yet her former boss was relentless, even filing a complaint against her for infringement, causing her stall to be suddenly searched and investigated. Just when she was at her wit's end, a young man with strikingly handsome features appeared. This man was Shan Chong. In the past, Shan Chong had worked part-time in a plush bear costume, and two mischievous kids once spilled ice cream all over him.
Wei Zhi had fiercely scolded the kids and then carefully wiped the ice cream off the "bear's" costume. At that time, Shan Chong, hidden beneath the thick headgear, was extremely grateful to Wei Zhi and deeply imprinted her adorable face in his memory. Now, seeing his former benefactor struggling, he naturally stepped in to help — not only did he buy a large number of her comics, but he also purchased her second-hand drawing tablet without hesitation.
As Wei Zhi was leaving the exhibition, she was captivated by a huge screen on the wall, which played a video of Shan Chong skiing. His movements were smooth, powerful, and incredibly cool, instantly capturing her heart. Wei Zhi had never imagined skiing could look so stylish, and a sudden inspiration struck her — what if she reworked her comic and made the male lead a skilled skier? The story would undoubtedly become even more interesting.
She excitedly shared the idea with her best friends, who all supported her decision. Although she had just experienced a massive career setback, she still felt fortunate to have such wonderful friends by her side. To gather more creative inspiration, Wei Zhi signed up for a ski training class. Coincidentally, Shan Chong recognized her at first glance during the class. Upon hearing her name for the first time, he immediately claimed her under his wing and voluntarily became her coach. At that moment, Wei Zhi was still unaware that this cold and handsome young man had already taken a liking to her days ago.
Perhaps all handsome men with a cool demeanor have a warm heart deep down. However, Shan Chong showed no enthusiasm toward the beginner Wei Zhi. He constantly increased the difficulty of her training without prior notice and often made sarcastic remarks. For example, he once asked her whether talent or hard work was more important. Wei Zhi thought for a moment and answered that hard work was more valuable.
Unexpectedly, Shan Chong retorted that, in fact, Wei Zhi did have a talent for skiing — because her slightly chubby figure provided thicker fat, making her more resistant to falls. Wei Zhi couldn't believe she had just heard such an outrageous answer, but being thick-skinned and resilient, she quickly shrugged it off. Soon, they entered the training area. Shan Chong, with zero mercy, set ambitious training goals for Wei Zhi.
However, every step she took ended up with a hard fall. Her body had countless intimate encounters with the ground, especially her poor hips. After countless tumbles, Wei Zhi secretly made up her mind to shorten her training time as much as possible. She discreetly called her best friend, Jiang Nanfeng, asking about her skiing experience and what her coach was like.
To her shock, Jiang Nanfeng gushed with excitement, saying she adored her coach because he was very caring, considerate, and never let her fall. Hearing this, Wei Zhi instantly questioned — was her best friend really practicing skiing? Later, in the restroom, Wei Zhi’s ski goggles got splashed with water. Unable to find her glasses cloth, she was momentarily at a loss. Just then, someone wearing a mask handed her a glasses cloth.
Wei Zhi froze when she noticed the person's wristband — it was identical to the one on the poster of the skiing prince she had been mesmerized by. Her eyes widened in disbelief. Although her best friend always joked that she was face-blind, she could never forget the young man's wristband from the poster. Wei Zhi clutched the cloth like a treasure. Meanwhile, Shan Chong watched her reaction, confused, unaware that she hadn’t recognized him as her coach.
After a night of rest, Wei Zhi didn’t give up. She returned to the training ground the next day, showing up on time for her class. Shan Chong was surprised — he had assumed that after yesterday’s falls, she would have quit by now. But seeing her again, he silently resumed his role as her personal coach. Wei Zhi, remembering how indifferent he was the day before, did not seem particularly enthusiastic toward him. However, she remained polite.
Watching her lukewarm attitude, Shan Chong immediately realized that Wei Zhi still hadn’t recognized him. With a helpless shake of his head, he decided to wait patiently until she finally figured it out. Later, when Wei Zhi and Jiang Nanfeng took the cable car together, Jiang Nanfeng casually asked about Wei Zhi’s coach. The moment she heard the answer, she immediately understood who Shan Chong was — he was the very poster prince Wei Zhi had been obsessed with.
Amused, Jiang Nanfeng chose to keep this a secret but still kindly advised Wei Zhi to get along better with her coach, subtly hinting that a good relationship would be beneficial for her training. Meanwhile, after firing Wei Zhi, Boss Wang noticed the rising popularity of skiing and instantly ordered the team to wrap up Wei Zhi’s original comic series Farewell Song.
In light of the skiing craze, Boss Wang instructed the team to shift their creative direction to focus on winter sports content. Although the team members were dissatisfied, they ultimately chose to comply with the boss’s demands to avoid suffering the same fate as Wei Zhi.
This time, Wei Zhi and her best friend set off for training again. While they were on the cable car, Wei Zhi coincidentally heard Shan Chong and another coach’s phone ring at the same time. It turned out that the coach group chat had caught wind that Shan Chong had recently recruited a cute and soft newbie girl, so they urged him to add Wei Zhi to the group chat.
However, Shan Chong pretended not to notice and deliberately ignored it. That day, the training took on a new mode. A long-time rival who had always doubted Shan Chong's title as the "King of Skiing" appeared on the mountain, intending to challenge him to a duel. Everyone's eyes lit up — they finally had a chance to witness the elegance of the ski king up close. The crowd instantly turned into enthusiastic cheerleaders, eager to see the showdown.
Shan Chong agreed to the challenge without hesitation. Upon seeing his opponent wearing an extremely cool pair of ski goggles, Shan Chong immediately thought about how Wei Zhi never even had the heart to buy herself a decent pair of goggles. On a whim, he declared that if he won the match, he wanted the opponent's goggles as his reward. Within minutes, Shan Chong effortlessly secured his victory.
Without any hesitation, he walked up and directly took the goggles off his opponent's head as promised. Jiang Nanfeng was present at the scene and recorded the entire thrilling competition on her phone. She initially thought that once Wei Zhi saw the video, she would instantly recognize that the skillful young skier in the video was the very poster prince she had been obsessed with.
However, to her disbelief, Wei Zhi watched the video in awe and raved about how amazing the ski king was — without realizing that her coach was the same person she had been crushing on. The next morning, Shan Chong showed up early at the training ground, holding the ski goggles he had won in the competition, intending to give them to Wei Zhi as a surprise.
However, when he overheard Wei Zhi still clueless about his true identity and fantasizing about her "poster prince," he was left completely speechless. In the end, he chose not to give her the goggles. The person who challenged Shan Chong was Dai Duo, a free-spirited and charming skier who always ended up losing to Shan Chong, which left him slightly bitter. Unable to swallow his defeat, Dai Duo vented his frustration to Shan Chong's sister over the phone.
Soon after, Shan Chong received a call from his sister, who was an avid comic fan. The first thing she complained about was how the art style of her favorite comic artist, Ah Zhai, had suddenly changed. Then she curiously gossiped about why Shan Chong had taken Dai Duo's goggles. Shan Chong wasn’t interested in Dai Duo's complaints but was instead intrigued when his sister mentioned the change in the comic style.
Glancing toward Wei Zhi in the distance, he wondered if she was working on a new story inspired by their time here. Wei Zhi, still unaware that Shan Chong was the "poster prince," continued to grumble about his poor coaching ability, claiming that his bad temper and lack of professional teaching skills were the reason she kept falling. On top of that, she shamelessly expressed her desire to get in touch with the ski king and obtain his contact information.
However, fate intervened. One day, by chance, Wei Zhi spotted the exact same wristband on Shan Chong’s arm — identical to the one her "poster prince" wore. In an instant, her face flushed red. All the complaints and grumbling she had made earlier now seemed like a huge embarrassment, given that the person she admired was the one she had been bad-mouthing all along. Wei Zhi stammered an apology and questioned why Shan Chong didn’t reveal his identity earlier.
Shan Chong was utterly speechless. Out of everyone in the entire training ground, she was the only one who didn’t recognize him — and he was her coach, no less. It was hard to find a more "visually impaired" person than her. Regardless, the misunderstanding was finally cleared up, and Shan Chong secretly rejoiced.
Wei Zhi had always worried that the ski king wouldn’t like a fan like her, but Shan Chong wished he could tell her — she had no idea how long the ski king had secretly admired her. One day, Wei Zhi accidentally sat on her little turtle plush toy and ripped it apart. Without hesitation, Shan Chong personally sewed it back together for her.
When his roommates witnessed the "ski king" skillfully threading a needle and patching up a plush toy, they were completely dumbfounded — as if they had discovered a whole new side of him. The next day, when Wei Zhi received her perfectly repaired plush toy, her roommate specifically reminded her to cherish it — after all, this was a handmade item from a true legend.
