gay romance • opposites attract • forced proximity • travel romance • steamy rom-com

When Daniel Wu's carefully ordered life falls apart, he does something completely out of character and escapes to Beijing, the city where his late father grew up. What begins as an impulsive getaway quickly becomes something far more meaningful when a disastrous Great Wall tour introduces him to Yang Li, a cynical PhD student whose disciplined nature clashes spectacularly with Daniel's spontaneity.

The Vibe

Daniel is used to running from complications, while Yang has spent years feeling like an outsider in a city that never quite feels like home. Their first meeting is far from smooth, but their paths keep crossing, drawing them into an unexpected connection neither man planned for.

As Daniel and Yang spend more time together, Beijing becomes more than a destination. From sightseeing and unforgettable food to the journeys that take them beyond the capital, their romance unfolds against a backdrop of travel, self-discovery, humor, and emotional vulnerability.

Warm, witty, and heartfelt, From Beijing, with Love is a contemporary gay romance about getting a little lost and discovering that home can sometimes be found in an unexpected person. The story travels from Beijing to Xi'an and Tokyo, giving the romance a vibrant, wanderlust-filled atmosphere.
