Honey on the Knife's Edge

Reunion after a long separation | Rekindled love | Healing each other

In the fifth year after she broke Lu Nianzhi's heart, Lin Wan got what was coming to her:

She was buried in debt, her career fell apart, and her company was put up for sale.

And that wasn't all. The most humiliating part was yet to come:

At her most wretched, she ran into Lu Nianzhi again.

-

In the hotel, Lin Wan stood before the seat of honor with a wineglass in hand, awkward and anxious.

After five years apart, the aloof campus heartthrob she'd once toyed with had become a CEO everyone feared and respected, holding her fate in his hands.

Lu Nianzhi insisted that Lin Wan sit beside him. The lights cast heavy shadows across his face. Lin Wan lowered her head, pretending not to notice.

A perceptive colleague noticed the unusual tension between them and teased, "President Lu, you know our Xiao Lin? Come to think of it, you were classmates, weren't you?"

Lin Wan lowered her eyes, doing her best to hide the turmoil in her dark gaze. "We don't know each other."

-

The lies she told as a girl were like a long nail she'd driven into Lu Nianzhi's flesh with her own hands. She'd never expected his forgiveness.

Back then, she had played hard to get and won Lu Nianzhi's affection. But now, he was like the moon hanging high in the sky, far beyond her reach.

Then the man slowly drew closer. His breath carried a cool, woody scent, and his trembling fingertips traced her collarbone. His voice was low and dangerous. "We don't know each other? But your body is as honest with me as ever."

-

One day, someone dug up Lin Wan's dirty laundry: In school, she'd toyed with campus heartthrob Lu Nianzhi. Five years later, Lu Nianzhi was rich, and Lin Wan was throwing herself at him to be his kept woman.

An hour later, netizens stared in shock as the renowned entrepreneur Lu Nianzhi personally reposted the topic from his private account:

#IWasTheOneThrowingMyselfAtHerToBePlayedWith.#

The internet exploded.

"You gave me salvation, then gave me a blade."

"But I don't care."

"You can wound me with the same blade a thousand times over."

Next book: Spring's Passing

Ye Chunhe knew from childhood that beauty could get her everything she wanted.

Money, fame, status.

Countless people flocked to her, but all they wanted was to seize her greedily and keep her as a canary, showing her off and treating her like a plaything.

But she was sick of it, so she ignored the threats and fled to an unfamiliar northern town.

She staged a carefully planned robbery, ditched her tracked phone and handbag, pretended to be penniless, and freeloaded at the home of a kindhearted stranger.

The girl came from a poor family and depended on her truck-driving brother.

Ye Chunhe couldn't help feeling sorry for her.

When she turned around, she ran straight into a tall, solidly built man opening the door, his sharp eyes briefly surprised.

Ye Chunhe smiled brightly.

The man gave her a look almost hostile in its intensity and coldly told her to "get out."

For the first time in her life, her beauty had failed her.

But it didn't matter. A man like him would make the perfect dog for her. ^_^

Chi Xuezhou was the finest blade lying in wait at the border.

Bronzed skin, 190 centimeters tall, eight-pack abs, and a rock-hard backside.

If he could spin a steering wheel with one hand, he could certainly hold a rifle steady.

He'd warned himself countless times:

In the perilous jungle, the only person you can ever trust is yourself.

But Ye Chunhe...

She was bright and beautiful, like a flower in spring.

But sometimes, she was also rather silly.

Her attempts at seduction were clumsy, and she trusted people too easily. The smoke in the kitchen made her eyes turn red, and she'd complain that the bed wasn't soft enough, asking how anyone could sleep on something so hard.

Yet the corners of her mouth would secretly curl upward.

For professional and personal reasons alike, Chi Xuezhou shouldn't have taken her in.

And yet he couldn't stop himself from flying into the flames like a moth.

He'd travel a long way back just to cook for her.

He'd save for ages to buy her an unbelievably expensive bedding set and take her to see wild cherry blossoms covering the hills.

And just like now.

When a man in a suit forcibly reached out to her and she looked helplessly on the verge of tears, Chi Xuezhou's brow knotted. His actions outran his reason, and he stepped forward to hold her tightly in his arms.

With blood streaming from his hand, he gently stroked her hair.

"Don't cry. I'll take you away."

"You know that all you have to do is ask."

"I'll do anything for you."
