Walking on Ice

| A man who hides his trauma VS a woman who takes the initiative

| Seven-year age gap. The story begins when the heroine is 18. The hero has had a previous relationship. He is not a virgin.

| Dual storyline: romance and figure skating

Zhou Han, a classical dance prodigy, is discovered by a coach and joins the national team.

As the top-seeded competitor, she travels to Saint Petersburg for a two-year training program.

On a snowy street along the Neva, she meets a man with stars in his eyes and an incredible physique.

Every time she sees him after that, she finds herself drawn to him,

and gradually develops a forbidden longing.

Unable to deny her feelings, she decides to make the first move and honestly express her affection,

but all she gets from him is, "How presumptuous."

Jiang You has met countless people from his homeland in Saint Petersburg.

Zhou Han is the most special.

She dances beautifully, her slender waist swaying and her hair flying. Her charm is irresistible, and every time he sees her, he can hardly keep his heart from stirring.

But an entire bygone era lies between them.

He knows he's not a worthy suitor: he's neither honest nor brave.

But what can he do? He's fallen for her and can't pull himself away.

He can't easily put his love into words, but fortunately, she's willing to wait.

[Reading guide:

1. The story has two plotlines, and there's a lot to set up at the beginning, so the pacing is slow. Slow, slow, slow.

2. This is my take on a sports story. The author isn't a professional and has only managed to look up a little bit of industry information. Everything about figure skating in the story, including the association's training system, is fictional. Please don't take it as fact.

3. All the characters in the story exist only in fiction and aren't based on real people. Highlighted for emphasis.

4. All public-opinion incidents in the novel are fictional. Don't compare them to real life. Highlighted for emphasis.

5. This isn't love at first sight, and their relationship doesn't go smoothly. Neither lead is perfect.

6. Some competition quota allocation rules have been adjusted for the plot. Please don't treat them as real-world rules. Highlighted for emphasis.

7. The heroine has a first-love storyline involving anxious attachment. Please don't read if that bothers you.]

Premise: Good love means choosing each other.
