The Portraits and the Mad Girl

Andrea Family, the "parvenus" who Nangong Sanba talked about had been rooted in the land of snow for 300 years. They were wealthy and had a long history. They had incredible properties and ancient foundations in Europe. However, few people in the world knew of their existence: for more than 300 years, this family had always followed strict admonitions handed down from ancient times—not getting involved with the outside world, not attempting to escape the snowland, not attracting the attention of others. Their ancestors and every patriarch were convinced that those were the only ways to keep the family's wealth, and of course, their lives.
