City of Hope

A chance encounter in the Xishuangbanna rainforest allowed Liang Youyun, a village-stationed official, to taste the stirrings of passion. Yet, she lived a pragmatic life, knowing she didn’t belong there. Once the heat of the moment subsided and the clouds of passion cleared, she was forced into a sudden and absolute break with the man named Jiang Muhe.

After completing her village assignment and returning to Beijing, Liang Youyun’s career soared. Through a relative’s introduction, she even found a handsome, kind, and well-to-do boyfriend.

A former special forces officer and the sole heir to the conglomerate that owned the hotel: Jiang Muhe.
