After the Enemy Nation's Crown Prince Became a Hostage

Three years ago, someone ran him through the belly with a sword in a ruined temple.

The killer escaped without a trace.

Three years later, he never expected the killer to be brought before him as a hostage prince from an enemy kingdom.

Zhou Jinxuan thought that from then on, he and that man would go their separate ways and leave each other alone.

Unexpectedly, a popular little book that suddenly took the capital by storm bound them together. Everyone mistakenly believed that he and the enemy crown prince were on excellent terms.

The book's title was especially... vulgar! Utterly made up! A disgrace to respectable literature!

What he never expected was that the book would become an enormous hit. Almost everyone in the capital owned a copy and couldn't put it down. Its influence could be seen everywhere, from teahouses and brothels to the imperial court. Even the emperor was full of praise for it.

Every time he attended court, someone would lean close to Zhou Jinxuan and ask him:

"Your Highness, when is the next update? I can't wait to find out what happens next!"

"Your Highness, the affection between you and that crown prince is truly moving."

"Your Highness, the schemes in this book are astonishing! I've never seen such novel and brilliant tactics. That chapter was a real revelation!"

There was no end to comments like these.

One day, Zhou Jinxuan finally couldn't take it anymore and opened the little book titled He Runs, He Chases, He Can't Escape Even If He Grows Wings.

It began like this:

"In the 169th year of the Jiaqing era, I found a half-dead boy on the border of the Jinlin Kingdom. I rescued him, nursed him back to health, and cared for him devotedly. Then I discovered that he could read and write, and I was overjoyed. I conceived the idea of teaching him everything I had learned in my life. Naturally, I did just that.

He was my best student and my best friend.

Sadly, I stabbed him.

From that day on, our relationship could never be mended.

Until one day...

I saw him again."
