Licking Honey off a Knife Edge

Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

“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 a Happy Ending.
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.

Just saw that there are no reviews yet so I'm writing one to convince everyone to read this beautiful piece of writing.

At first, I didn't want to read this since I'm not in the mood for some high school setting novel (since they're wearing high school uniforms in the cover) but gladly, I decided to check the first chapter and the characters are actually in their 20s, all striving in their career.

I was hooked immediately after reading the first chapter because the writing style is just my cup of tea.... more>> It evokes a sense of nostalgia, longing— it just makes you feel whatever the characters are feeling. It makes you feel like you're a part of their story, not just a bystander who chose to read a piece of literature. Actually, at some times, I feel flustered because everything feels so vivid and I feel like I shouldn't see some scenes— it feels so intimate, a moment shared by the two characters and here I am, viewing it for free.

It has a good pacing and each one of the characters have depth. Despite having few chapters, the story didn't feel rushed. It's really just the right amount.

I hope you all like this story as much as I did 🤍 <<less

I love how the novel is written from beginning to end and down to the extra. Although the story is short, it doesn't feel too abrupt nor does it feel that it's taking too long for things to happen. It's just right.

The character immediately connects with me at the beginning, especially Shen Li. The beginning felt so sad but when things happen and finally come together, what happened next felt so rewarding. The romance in this is just so sweet that it got me melting.

Shen Li and Lu Changting are... more>> so lucky to have each other. Shen Li waited for a long time for this love, he doesn't even dare to think that his feelings will be reciprocated. In the end all that time enduring the pain of unrequited love, paid off. Lu Changting love him so much that he's willing to carefully hold him in his palm, protecting him but also not hiding him. Likewise, Lu Changting is so lucky to have someone love him so much that they endured so many years of unrequited love, even when he's not aware of it.

At some point I wanted to cry because of how beautiful their love is. They don't care of how the world see them and the contempt others point at them. Being with each other's company makes them happy that it outweighs any other negative things.

Spoiler

I love it when Lu Changting hold Shen Li's hand in public whether it's in amusement park, his company and even in events where many people they knew and elders attended. Even when Shen Li instinctively try to pull away, he still firmly holds his hands. It's like a silent assurance that he knows they might get negative looks and be judged; but still, he wants to face it for and together with him. Announcing to everyone that they love each and are not afraid. He knows that their love is beautiful and not wrong or a mistake that needed to be hidden.

i really liked this one, I stayed up until midnight to finish the main story and I don't regret it. I related a lot to the MC and his yearning and quiet love were so heart-wrenching and lovable. I was really rooting for them and the author makes the progression of their relationship quite real and vivid. It gets a bit frustrating at times, but when they get together it's so rewarding.

there are so many little details that I loved, I wouldn't have time to list them all, like the... more>> mc's relationship with his mom or how lovely the ml's conviction and maturity are after he figures out his feelings.

it was a solid 4 star read <<less
