The heavy snow showed no signs of slowing down, fluttering gently like feather down from the white sky.

Due to the heavy snow, the sky was gloomy. A skid-proof crimson carpet was laid out under the doorway, limiting visibility. Red lanterns had been hung at the entrance porch. The servants bustled between the kitchen and Anika Hall. The Arias family was generous and paid them well. As it was Madam Aria's milestone birthday, everyone wore joyous smiles on their faces.

There were red plum trees outside of Anika Hall. The best blossoming season was over, leaving some signs of decay. But after a heavy snowfall, the festive red hues burst dramatically from the branches, like a stunning display of fireworks, capturing a moment of shock and awe.

Under the snowfall, the red plum blossoms, vivid against layers of red bricks, green tiles, and intricately carved beams and rafters, all painted an artistic and graceful picture.
