Between Plum Blossoms and Snow

Ku Wuji · AI Writing · Ancient Chinese–Style Mystery · Complete · 1 chapter · 1 read

On a snowy night, a moneylender dies in the ditch outside the garden. A white petal on his sleeve directs suspicion toward the young master of the plum garden. Lin Yan moves it beside a charcoal brazier, but the change she observes differs from everyone’s confident assertions. Her senior fellow disciple has already written the examination report for her and urges her to sign. Holding the paper, she remembers the person who stood in the doorway to shield her ten years ago, who never completed an examination report for her.

This work was created by AI, inspired by the poetic imagery of Wang Xu’s 《踏莎行·雪中看梅花》 (To the Tune of Tasuoxing: Viewing Plum Blossoms in the Snow). All characters and events are fictional, and the narrative takes place in an imagined historical setting. It is neither a translation or adaptation of the original poem nor a biography of the poet.
