A famous celebrity at the height of his career leaves the spotlight behind and travels to a quiet tea mountain, hoping to escape the pressure of fame and memories of a painful past. In the peaceful landscape of Molie Village, Feng Qinglang meets Xu Changyang, a young tea farmer whose simple life and free spirit slowly change the way he sees the world.

A Winter Sun Wakes the Wind in Spring Hills tells the story of two people from completely different worlds. One belongs to the entertainment industry, surrounded by attention and expectations, while the other finds happiness in mountains, tea fields, and everyday moments. As they spend more time together, an unexpected connection begins to grow between them.

Originally written as a romance novel and later adapted into a same-name Chinese drama (C-drama), this story explores love, healing, personal growth, and the courage to choose a different path in life. The contrast between celebrity life and peaceful rural surroundings creates a warm atmosphere, while the challenges brought by society and public attention test their relationship.

After nearly five hours of winding mountain roads, they still hadn't reached their destination. The sea of clouds was nothing new, and they were tired of seeing a sky as clear as their name suggested. For someone prone to motion sickness, all he wanted was to get there quickly, find a bed, collapse into it, and sleep until he naturally woke up the next day.

The younger brother, Qingtian, chatted with the driver, Xiao Hei, about random things the whole way. They talked about a song performed at Aza's wedding. Aza was a tea farmer from Molie Village, and the song was called...

"I want to know who loves whom, and whether a broken heart can ever heal." Xiao Hei sang a line from the tune that Qing Tian hummed.

“Yes, this is the one.” Qingtian sang along.

The melody was so gentle, like the winding mountain road they were driving on. Unfortunately, Qinglang, who was feeling dizzy from all the winding, couldn't take it anymore. Xiao Hei slammed on the brakes, and Qinglang jumped out to vomit.

Back in the car, Changyang called. Changyang is a tea farmer friend of Qingtian's in Molie Village. Qingtian has many friends in the tea mountains. He is a sincere person and is easily accepted by most people.

"Where are you?" Changyang asked over the phone.

Qingtian replied, "I've returned from the past."

The mountain that Xigui passed on his way to Molie also produces tea, but it tastes different from the tea from Molie.

Changyang can accurately estimate the time. Based on Xiaohei's driving skills, he gave a fairly accurate estimate: "We can arrive before dark."

Then it took another sharp turn, almost a 360-degree turn. Qinglang grabbed the handle and jumped out of the car again. He never imagined that going into the mountains would be so grueling; just like the name of their destination, Molie Village, it was truly a test of physical endurance.

The time was 4:12 AM on April 12, 2032. Qinglang glanced at his watch; the number, like that song, was stubbornly persistent, a love that would last until death. Qinglang couldn't worry about much else; he really needed to stop the turbulence and endless detours.

"What time will you arrive?" Qinglang asked Qingtian.

Following up on what Changyang had said, Qingtian glanced out the window again and gave the same answer, "It'll be about before dark."

Qinglang said impatiently, "How am I supposed to know when it gets dark?"

Perhaps I was in a bit of a hurry, because my stomach started churning endlessly, like a cloud on a mountaintop.

"stop--".

Qinglang jumped out of the car again and again, leaning against the mountain wall to vomit. His intestines felt like they were being torn apart by a mountain road, a tidal wave that almost ripped his soul out. He had recently gotten a perm, and when he vomited, he almost pulled out a strand of hair.

Back in the car, Qingtian handed him another wet wipe, "Brother."

Qinglang wiped it twice and returned it. Qinglang asked him, "Is it okay if you stay at my friend's house?"

Sunny's friend is Wandering, but Sunny doesn't know, nor does he need to know; he'll see if it works when he gets there.

Qinglang is the older brother, but he doesn't really act like one. Qingtian, who is eight years younger than him, often takes care of him. Qinglang seems to have a dependency problem; he relies on whoever is around. The old saying "to have one's clothes handed to one's hand and food fed to one's mouth" perfectly describes him. This is related to his profession. From becoming famous at twenty-two until today, almost seven years later, he has assistants serving him wherever he goes. "Serving" is no exaggeration; someone catches him when he takes off his clothes, someone hands him a tissue before he sneezes—even a prince from an ancient kingdom wouldn't be treated like this. And you know what? His current curly hair really does make him look like a prince from an ancient kingdom lost in the deep mountains.

It was already evening when the car arrived at Changji Reservoir.

There's a house east of the reservoir, where Qinglang is going to stay tonight. They were only twenty meters away when Qinglang couldn't wait any longer. He parked the car, rushed out, and dry-heaved for a long time, until he was completely stuffed to vomit.

On sunny days, they would rush over to deliver paper, but when the weather was clear, they didn't need it. They would bend over and wave their hands, their hair disheveled like a ghost, looking as pathetic as if they were acting in a pretentious art film.

Qingtian looked out at the sound and saw a DJI drone approaching. Qingtian waved to the distance and disappeared in the blink of an eye.Qinglang was recently so annoyed by the online comments that he felt deaf. The drone was practically cutting his hair before he even heard the roaring
