After I Ran Off with My Archrival

Upcoming novel: The Top-Tier Big Shots I Played

Novel Blurb

Chu Yi has been sickly since childhood, coughing up blood at the slightest provocation and fainting now and then. He was once pronounced unlikely to live past twenty-five.

And yet everyone in the capital knows he wields immense influence, is cruel and unruly, and gets away with anything thanks to the favor of his uncle, the emperor, and his aunt, the imperial consort. He’s someone no one can afford to offend.

Until he snatches a pretty young boy off the street.

At the Duke of Anguo’s residence

Boy: If you want money, my family

Chu Yi: I don’t need money.

Boy: Then if you want a high position, a generous salary, good farmland, or beautiful concubines

Chu Yi: I don’t need any of that.

After a moment of silence, the boy lowers his eyes, tears rolling down in big drops.

Chu Yi sets down the bow and arrow in his hands and smiles, satisfied.

Later, Gu Qinian, the younger son of General Gu, mysteriously disappears from the street, only to be returned to his family’s gate a year later.

Chu Yi is sent out of the capital to recuperate because he is “gravely ill,” then vanishes without a trace.

Three years later.

A carriage rolls slowly into the capital and happens to cross paths with a young general returning victorious. Several rows of soldiers surround it, weapons drawn.

Chu Yi lifts the curtain, lowers his head, and coughs lightly. Blood stains the corner of his mouth, turning his lips crimson.

He looks up. Their eyes meet.

Gu Qinian curls his lips into a smile. “Take him back.”

Chu Yi: ?

Who is this guy??
