Hai Tang describes the synopsis as below:
Three years after a miraculous emergency landing made him a national hero, Captain Chen Jiayu has become the face of Air China. Everyone’s happy to please him, if only to earn a favor with the respected and dashing captain–except for Fang Hao.
Operating under constant pressure in one of the world’s busiest airspaces, he has no patience for the tantrums of an entitled captain during peak operations.
Sparks flew in their first meeting on the approach frequency, but after a chance encounter at the airport café, both sides discover a surprising chemistry between them. But between work and their own hectic private lives, can they handle the heat of a budding romance when neither are ready to let go of their past demons?
Preorders for the first volume of The Approach ends on June 8 at 8 p.m. EST.
