Just use Lezhin. Save yourself the malware risk from those pop-up heavy free sites. The first chapter might be unlockable with their free daily pass or a new user reward. It’s a couple minutes to make an account, and then you know you’re reading the proper version without weird scan errors.

Man, that webtoon is a bit of a licensing nightmare right now. I tried finding chapter 1 a few months back and hit so many dead ends.
It used to be up on some aggregator sites like MangaDex or Bato, but I've noticed those get taken down pretty quick. Lezhin holds the official license, but they've got a pay-per-chapter or coin system, so a completely free read there is tough.
My method was checking a few of the bigger scanlation groups' discords to see if they had links pinned in their comics channels. Sometimes they mirror on their own sites. Honestly, the search felt more frustrating than rewarding.
I ended up just using the Lezhin daily pass system to unlock it over a couple days, which is probably the safest route if you want consistent quality.
Goodreads forums occasionally have people sharing where they found it, but those threads get cleaned up fast due to copyright stuff.

I wouldn't bother with the aggregators for that one; the quality is usually garbage, with watermarks and weird ads. Lezhin is the official spot, and they do a free episode promotion sometimes for series, but you gotta catch it at the right moment. I think I read the first chapter free on there during one of those events.
Otherwise, your library might offer access through the Hoopla app—mine does for some Lezhin stuff, but the selection is hit or miss. Worth a quick search there before you go down the sketchy site rabbit hole.

This is tricky because the licensing is so tight. I remember being in your exact spot, wanting to dip a toe in before committing. A lot of the 'free' sites have chapter 1, sure, but they're often missing later chapters or have terrible translations that spoil the mood.
What I did was look for the original Korean title '봄이 왔다' on Naver Series, but that requires navigating a Korean site, which isn't easy. Some fan translators used to host on Tumblr or personal blogs, but those are ancient history now.
My final, slightly roundabout suggestion is to search for 'Cherry Blossoms After Winter' on Webtoon's app. Sometimes they have different licensing than Lezhin, though I'm not sure for this title. The interface is cleaner, and they also have a daily pass system if it's there. Didn't work for me, but your region might be different.

"Did you ever, even once, imagine yourself loving me?" Sarah posed a hopeful question to Philip.
"Don’t make me laugh, Sarah. Everything between us has been purely about pleasure and business.”
Sarah had harbored feelings for Philip ever since she first saw him in a sports magazine. When his fiancée abandoned him at the altar to elope with another man, Sarah selflessly offered herself as a replacement bride to spare his embarrassment.
After enduring three years of a loveless and toxic marriage, Sarah finally summoned the courage to divorce Philip, who was still pining for his former fiancée.
She vowed to herself that she would find another man who would love, trust, and worship her like a queen. This is what she sought if she were to marry a second time.
A year later, their paths crossed again. Philip confronted Sarah in a ladies’ restroom, demanding, “Do not let other men touch you!”
Sarah remained indifferent; her demeanor noticeably changed. “And what if I do?” she retorted.
Philip’s tone grew menacing, “You won’t like what I’d do.”
Unfazed, Sarah shot back, “Mr. Cornell, I’ve never liked what you’ve done, even in the past. There’s nothing new about that, and please stop whining like a baby,” before turning and walking away, disdainfully leaving him behind.

The day my elder sister stole my fiancé from me, I did not fight back.
Instead, I slipped past the maid guarding me and went straight to find my father.
“She can have my fiancé. I’m marrying the Regent!”
My father stared at me in shock.
Everyone knew the Regent was in charge, but rumors said he could not father a child and had a nasty temper.
What they did not know was that I was born under heaven’s favor—blessed with the gift of life itself.
In my previous life, that blessing became my curse. My elder sister and stepmother smeared my name, claiming that my curves and easy fortune meant I had been defiled before marriage.
My fiancé was disgusted and turned away from me. That was when my sister seized the chance to take my place.
Even on her wedding day, my sister was not at ease. She had me dragged away like a lowly servant and sent to a brothel, ordering the madam to torture me.
While I lay dying in the dark, she lived in the light, bearing children with my former fiancé and enjoying a lifetime of happiness that should have been mine.
Now that I had been given another life, I refused to bow to fate again.
She might have stolen my fiancé, but she could never take the blessing I was born with.

But wait, why is the once unapproachable husband suddenly so clingy? Good sir, I am not your wife, and marrying me is impossible. Unless...you promise to spoil me for the rest of my life, love me like nothing else, and to and over all your wealth and influence, and to be content coming home to do the chores and cook for me everyday. Perhaps then, I would sit on the couch and cheer you on!

At my graduation ceremony, I finally gathered the courage to confess my feelings to my longtime crush.
But before I could, I was hit by a car.
When I opened my eyes again, he was standing right in front of me with a frigid glare.
"You're awake? Perfect. Then let's discuss our divorce."
I blinked at him, completely dazed.
Divorce? Wait—what?
I hadn't even confessed yet. How on earth had this turned into a divorce?

The city looked like it had been devoured — chewed up by fire, time, and whatever came after — then spit back out in jagged pieces.
Dead drones dangled from power lines like rusted ornaments. Neon signs flickered above fractured pavement, their broken scripts glitching into gibberish. Down the block, a half - melted smartcar burned slow, casting warped shadows across the skeletal remains of a coffee bar.
Behind a crumpled tram car, someone crouched low, breath tight in her lungs.
The shrieking hadn’t stopped.
It came again — sharp, bone-deep, the kind of sound that latched onto your spine and refused to let go. She checked the signal jammer at her hip. Still blinking. Still active.
Not for long.
They were tracking her. She moved fast — boots silent over broken glass, slipping through the breach in an old laundromat’s wall. Her body moved from muscle memory now: slide through, duck left, over the washer, don’t look at the corpse slumped by the dryer.
Out the back. Up the fire escape.
On the rooftop, she halted. Not alone.
Someone was already there — silhouetted against the bleeding sunset. Combat jacket. Short - cropped hair. Pulse rifle slung casually over one shoulder like it weighed nothing. Like this was just another rooftop, just another war.
“Don’t move,” the voice snapped.
She lifted her hands slowly. “I’m clean.”
“Everyone says that.”
“Scan me.”
beat. Then the girl stepped forward, rifle still raised but gaze locked in. Dark eyes, sharp, searching — not just for weapons, but tells. Fear. Lies.
She lowered the rifle half an inch.
“You’re lucky you’re cute.”
That wasn’t the line she expected.
Cherry Blossoms After Winter' is one of those heartwarming BL manhwas that just sticks with you, and I totally get why you'd want to dive into Vol. 1! The story follows Taesung and Haebom, two childhood friends whose relationship slowly blossoms into something deeper, and it’s filled with all the tender, awkward, and sweet moments you’d expect. If you’re looking to read it online, there are a few places where you might find it, though availability can vary depending on licensing and region.
First, I’d recommend checking out official platforms like Lezhin Comics or Tappytoon, since they often license Korean manhwa and offer translations. Lezhin, in particular, has a huge catalog of BL titles, and 'Cherry Blossoms After Winter' might be there—though you’ll likely need to purchase chapters or use their coin system. Tappytoon is another solid option, especially if you prefer reading on mobile. Both platforms support the creators, which is always a plus!
If you’re open to physical copies, sometimes digital retailers like Amazon Kindle or Google Play Books have manga/manhwa volumes for sale. It’s worth a quick search, though I’ve found that Korean BL titles can be a bit harder to track down there compared to Japanese manga. Alternatively, some fan translation sites might have it, but I’d caution against those since they often operate in a legal gray area and don’t support the original creators.
One thing I love about this series is how it balances slow-burn romance with just the right amount of drama. Haebom’s quiet determination and Taesung’s gruff but caring personality make their dynamic so endearing. If you do find it, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did—it’s the kind of story that leaves you smiling long after you’ve finished reading.
Cherry Blossoms After Winter is one of those gems I stumbled upon during a lazy weekend binge-read. The first volume has this cozy, slow-burn vibe that hooked me instantly. If you're looking for free access, some fan translation sites used to host it, but honestly, the quality was spotty—missing pages, awkward phrasing. I'd recommend checking official platforms like Lezhin or Tappytoon first; they often have free chapters or promotions to sample. Webtoon also rotates free content, so keeping an eye there might pay off.
That said, supporting the creators by purchasing the official release feels right—this story’s warmth deserves it. I still reread my favorite scenes when I need a pick-me-up; the art’s delicate strokes and the protagonist’s awkward charm never get old.
I stumbled upon 'Cherry Blossoms After Winter: Volume 1' while browsing MangaOwl last week. The site’s layout is clean, loads fast, and has minimal ads compared to other platforms. It offers both the webtoon and manga versions, which is rare. The translation quality is decent, though some phrases feel slightly off—probably fan-translated. If you prefer official releases, check Tappytoon; they have the licensed version but require coins for full access. Lezhin Comics also has it, but their pay-per-chapter system adds up quickly. For free options, Mangago sometimes has uploads, but the legality’s shaky there.
