Xu Hong Dou is a woman who has worked in the hotel industry for most of her adult life. She is every inch the big-city woman, but her life hits a sudden bump in the road. Her best female friend has died, sending her life into a tailspin. Her work starts to suffer. Rather than continue to soldier on in the city, she decides to take a break from the fast-paced urban lifestyle in a remote village. She heads out to the village of Yun Miao, near Dali, in Yunnan Province – in search of peace and quiet.

She soon discovers that life in an agricultural village is not quite as idyllic as she had imagined – navigating fields full of animal droppings and mud isn’t something she is used to! But she soon finds a sort of equilibrium. She meets a group of fellow big-city types who have also decided to flee the big city in search of a more tranquil way of life. One of these individuals is named Xie Zhi Yao. Yun Miao is his hometown. He quit a well-paid job to start a tourism business that showcases Yun Miao. Xu Hong Dou soon realizes that she can put her own hotel industry knowledge to good use by helping him. But as they begin to work together, Cupid appears determined to bring them together! Could they find love in this quiet little village?

slice of life, family, romance, friendship, youth, school, the FL in TFF and the ML in OG being the "runaway princess".

setting time in the older era, make them give a nostalgic feeling even if we weren't born at that time.

Both explore childhood trauma and how it impacts your ability to thrive and form relationships as an adult. Both have romantic interests who act like protective older brothers.

Go Ahead is much faster and packed with a number of different storylines and main characters.

The First Frost is more the artistic, cinematic and dreamy. There's really only one main storyline and perspective that develops ever so slowly.

First love. Second chances. Healing.

Both leads were separated because of external factors and each went on to different paths, only to reunite at the end. Through it all, ML remained devoted to the FML.

- high school romance
- meet again
- calm male lead
- male lead protects female lead
- male lead can fight
- they develop a relationship
