Snow Mountain by greydaygirl

When a fallen warrior trapped on a mountain saves an injured woman from the snow, little does he imagine she will be the key to both his freedom and his undoing. Alone on his mountain, 'Fyar' the herdsman cares for little other than his goats and his solitude. But when he finds an injured woman in the snow, memories of his time before the mountain and what drove him there start to resurface. Trapped together with the woman in the confines of his cave home by the winter snow, days turn to weeks, and along with old memories, other things long thought lost start to stir in Fyar's chest. Jalintu, as her giant savior names her, has known nothing but cruelty. So when she is rescued by a beast of a man she is surprised by his gentleness, patience, and lack of ulterior motives. Eventually coming to trust 'Fyar', as she names him for the feathers woven in his hair, she discovers the true reason why he is trapped on his mountain. Will she be able to help Fyar as he helped her? Or are some animals more comfortable living in their cages? Romantasy set in the mountains of ancient Europe, Snow Mountain describes what happens when two cultures, pasts, and hearts collide on one snowy peak.

Takumi of the Snow Village by yummiuuu

In the remote mountain village of Yukimura, life is as harsh as the endless snowfall that blankets the land. Fifteen-year-old Takumi shoulders the burden of his family's survival, caring for his sick mother and four younger siblings while resenting the father who abandoned them after the war. With every passing day, the snow grows heavier, and so does the weight on his shoulders. When whispers of bandits in the mountains reach Yukimura, Takumi takes it upon himself to protect his family and his village. But the threat of violence is only the beginning. As winter deepens, secrets buried in the snow begin to surface-secrets about his father, about the war, and about Takumi's own strength. Facing relentless challenges, Takumi must navigate betrayal, survival, and the fragile bonds of community. In the unforgiving cold, he discovers that courage isn't the absence of fear but the will to stand firm against it. With each step, he's forced to decide: will he crumble under the weight of his responsibilities, or rise as the protector his family and village so desperately need? Takumi of the Snow Village is a heartfelt coming-of-age story of sacrifice, resilience, and the unbreakable ties of family, set against the brutal beauty of a snowbound world.

Princess Snow and the Empress by AllyCwrites

WATTY'S 2022 SHORTLIST🏅A Qing Dynasty Snow White fairytale retelling with a Princess Mononoke twist. Featured on @Wattpad's Fantasy Adventures reading list and @WattpadExplorer. ***** Snow is anything but the submissive princess the Jade Palace expects her to be. Her foster mothers find her impossible, her royal tutor labels her incorrigible, and she recently threatened to shave her head if she were forced to marry. When the Empress presents her with an opportunity to go on the imperial spring hunt with the princes and her not-so-secret crush, Prince Erden, Snow jumps at the chance. Who knew that that would lead to an assassination attempt, a harrowing escape, and her getting hopelessly lost in a dark forest during a thunderstorm--with no survival skills whatsoever. The only things she has to help her survive are lots of moxie and latent magical powers she inherited from her deceased mother. Oh, and an ethereally white fox that led seven old dwarves to her. With the Empress's malicious intent now revealed, Snow must discover her true strength, who her mother really is, and what magical powers she wields, in order to find her way back to Erden. If she fails, she might never see him again and die a lonely old crone in the mountains. . . or get murdered anyway when the bloodthirsty Empress--said to have fantastical powers of her own--comes for Snow.

The two of us will be together, keep our promises to each other and build a happy family. Everything was already planned out. But why when I was happy, then fate had a different plan?
