To land safely, you have to catch the wire. But what happens when the fall is emotional—and there’s no safety net in sight?

Zhou Qichen once danced on the edge of danger—flying naval fighters, landing at 300 km/h on the narrow deck of a carrier, trusting a single tailhook to snatch him from disaster. Now, he’s traded the adrenaline of military life for the calm skies of commercial aviation, piloting an A320 for Hainan Airlines. It’s a quieter life. A lonelier one.

That is, until he meets Lang Feng—sophisticated, self-assured, and effortlessly charming. The first Asian pilot in KLM navigates international routes with the same quiet confidence he brings to everything else, but beneath the polished professionalism lies something Zhou recognises all too well: turbulence.

Thrown together by an unexpected connection and shared skies, the two begin a tentative romance tested by continents, competing loyalties, and wounds that run deeper than either man is ready to acknowledge.

Tailhook is a tender, contemplative danmei romance about finding the courage to trust—and learning that sometimes the most dangerous landing is the one that brings you home.
