A beautiful case of mistaken identity, a fated encounter.
When Mo Jingchun mistakes a stern-looking man for a local guide amid Iceland’s vast, windswept snowstorms, she has no idea this lovely misunderstanding will completely upend her peaceful life.
Elijah Leclerc is both a gentle travel companion behind the camera and a shrewd business leader. A journey together that begins because of her brings their hearts quietly closer beneath the witness of glaciers and the aurora, spanning cultures and distance. The tender charm of Suzhou’s gardens, the feelings hidden in the knotted buttons of a qipao, the everyday pleasure of him washing his hands and cooking for her... Everything is as beautiful as the exquisite Suzhou embroidery in her hands, its threads woven together to trace the most moving image of love.
She thinks this is the most generous gift fate could offer.
But when a glimpse of the vast, complicated, unfathomable family behind Elijah begins to emerge, Mo Jingchun realizes that the deep affection she has fallen for has long cast a dangerous shadow. Beneath the glittering business empire lie a past that cannot be washed away and tangled conflicts that cannot be easily resolved.
When their warm, everyday life is suddenly shattered, and a trusted embrace conceals an unspoken act of protection...
Can the passionate love that began in Iceland withstand the bitter winds of the real world? When danger strikes, can Elijah keep her safe? And how will Mo Jingchun protect the love they found across thousands of miles, caught between the whirlpool of sweetness and the threat of hidden currents?
From Iceland to Suzhou and Hangzhou, from a romantic meeting to a life-and-death trial, this is a love story that begins with a misunderstanding and an adventure about protection and growth.
