The Unmoored Boat

Is there no room for dreams in her hometown, and no room for her body in the imperial capital? At thirty, Nan Zhou becomes a “Beijing drifter” once more. Hoping to grind her past into dust, she returns to the city she once fled, ready to ride the waves and forge ahead, only to have two men enter her life. One is her idealistic developer client, who offers her a vast arena and passion, but brings hidden currents and turmoil. The other is her shrewd, calculating media partner, who lights the harbor and shows her a way out, guarding her in the present and trusting her with his back. An untethered boat, she wrestles with ideals and reality: should she set sail on an expedition with one, or journey far with the other? Some choices determine the course of a life.
