Fugitive from Justice

This novel is also known as: #I Was a Substitute for Five Years, Then I Ran Away, Only to Discover the Story Had Another Point of View#

Gu Qian volunteered to be a stand-in for Zhou Wei, who loved someone he could never have. He did it for five whole years.

Including the time they had known each other, he had been by Zhou Wei's side for at least seven years.

But their story was painfully cliche, and their relationship was neither here nor there.

Still, it seemed everyone was interested in their story, and neither of them seemed able to let go of what they had...

"You'd better not get any ideas!"

Gu Qian hadn't done anything he shouldn't have. He'd only played the hero and protected a woman.

But looking at the cold expression on Zhou Wei's face, Gu Qian suddenly found himself wanting to leave.

When the love in his heart had finally been worn away by time, Gu Qian made up his mind to go.

"Qianqian, are you really leaving?" His friend grabbed his arm, looking utterly incredulous.

"That's right. I don't love him anymore. Besides, his skills..." Gu Qian looked as if he couldn't bring himself to say more. "There are plenty of fish in the sea. I'm going to see if I can find one that's better-looking."

Leaving behind an unfounded rumor and someone who had gone abroad for work, Gu Qian disappeared into the crowd.

They met again in a little-known seaside town.

The moment they saw each other, one ran off while the other gave chase.

"I only said you were bad in bed. Was it really necessary to come all this way after me?!"

Zhou Wei cornered him against a wall and gritted his teeth. "When the hell did I say I came here to settle the score?"

Then he lowered his head and fiercely sealed the mouth that was still trying to explain itself.

Read the warnings first:

1. The main text is told in first person.

2. The characters are only as smart as the author. None of them are perfect.

3. Some things may be plot holes, but most are probably foreshadowing. Feedback is welcome, but don't nitpick.

4. I'll add more if I think of anything.

Theme: Keep growing, and you'll eventually find something wonderful.
