Dix jours, c'est le temps impose à la styliste Miranda Graham par son entreprise pour signer un contrat en Chine. Elle vit là sa première mission professionnelle, son premier voyage : l'enjeu est immense. Dès son arrivée à l'aéroport de Pékin, bousculée, écrasée, Miranda est prête à céder à la panique. Soudain, un homme surgit de la foule hostile... L'inconnu se nomme Yuan Li. Entrepreneur chinois au faite de la réussite sociale, il cache une blessure ; il ne peut oublier son père américain, un soldat de passage qui, en partant, l'a laissé seul face à un insurmontable sentiment d'abandon. Li a vu l'étrangère blonde, prisonnière d'une marée humaine. Submergé par l'émotion, il l'entraîne hors de l'aéroport. Il sera son guide à travers la ville orientale, mystérieuse et violente ; elle lui apprendra en retour à refuser la loi de la peur régnant sur Pékin. L'amour est là, qui prend par surprise ces deux êtres qui se croyaient désenchantés. Mais ils n'ont que dix jours pour s'aimer...
