    About this ebook

    Wei Liang is a man of the world in 1930’s Shanghai, balancing the demands of filial piety and modern living. His greatest challenge though won’t be what to do with his life, but rather whom to spend it with in this story of tradition vs. transition. Please note that while many of Scott’s stories have a speculative element (fantasy, science fiction, supernatural, etc.), this one does not and is instead romantic historical fiction.
