Licking Honey off a Knife Edge

“For some people, that person, he’s neither a temptation nor a flutter of the heart; he’s simply fate. No matter how much you try to evade, even if given ten thousand chances, one would still choose to dance on the edge of the knife and forsake the love on the shore.”

For Shen Li, that person is Lu Changting.

Author’s Guide:

Both perspectives of main and supporting roles are included, no breaking, no antagonism, a story about unrequited love, perhaps cliché, but unlikely to be overly tragic, with HE. If there are any similarities to other works, it’s probably akin to Andersen’s fairy tales. Open to any feedback on writing style and plot, but not interested in nitpicking. If you dislike character portrayals, please exit at the top right corner. Life’s short, don’t make yourself unhappy.

Some Disclaimers and Notes:

⤷ “刀尖舔蜜” is a Chinese idiom, which literally translates to “licking honey off a knife edge.” It’s used metaphorically to describe a situation where someone is taking great risks or living dangerously. It implies that someone is engaged in a perilous or precarious situation, similar to licking honey off a sharp knife blade.
