In the Far North, the moment Snow Empress cast off her shackles, she no longer bore the name Snow Empress. She gave herself a new name.
"From now on, I'll be called Lin Xue." Lin Xue looked at Lin Nuo, her tone exceedingly serious yet respectful toward an elder. "It is Xue'er's honor to share your surname after you remade me."
