A stolen child and two fathers. Fate intertwines once more.
About
Synopsis
Abandoned by his biological mother shortly after birth, a baby named Xiao was left on a snow-covered road.
The one who saved that tiny life was an eighteen-year-old youth, Han Qi.
Though not related by blood, they lived as a family—father, brother, and something even deeper—for four years, and Xiao grew up enveloped in love.
However, one day when he was four, Xiao was taken by someone and suddenly vanished from Han Qi's life.
Thirty years have passed.
Xiao was given the name Guest and now lives as the greatest strategist of the Kingdom of Huangyao.
He knows neither his true name nor his origins, and his childhood memories are lost.
Yet occasionally, the warmth of someone's arms or a nostalgic laugh would shake his heart in his dreams.
The one who raised Guest with more care than anyone else is the King of Huangyao, King Chengjang.
Having spent a lonely childhood and grown up without knowing love, the King learned the warmth of family for the first time during his thirty years with Guest, becoming a second father.
Eventually, fate crosses on the battlefield.
Han Qi and Guest reunite as enemies.
Han Qi recognizes the traces of Xiao at a single glance, and Guest feels an inexplicable nostalgia for a man he is supposed to be meeting for the first time.
The father who raised him for four years.
The father who raised him for thirty years.
And the young man who grew up receiving deep affection from both.
A lost name, sealed memories, and time that stood still for thirty years begin to move again.
This is a long-form Chinese fantasy tale woven by two fathers and one son. A story depicting tears, affection, and the true form of "family" waiting beyond their reunion.
Characters
A unique warrior who became a bandit leader at eighteen, ran through battlefields with unconventional tactics, and eventually became a Great General representing Tianhuang. One of the Six Radiant Generals. Fifty-two years old. Height: 199cm.
Cold and cynical. A battlefield genius with a sharp eye for observation and tactical brilliance. While bold and free-spirited, his affection for his comrades is deeper than anyone's; he is adored by the Han Qi Army as "Boss."
His catchphrase is:
"Don't worry, everything will work out."
Winter of his eighteenth year.
He picked up a newborn baby on a snowy road.
He gave the child, abandoned by his mother, the name "Xiao" and decided to raise him himself.
Even without blood ties, Xiao was a son, a brother, a family, and something more precious than life itself to Han Qi.
They lived together for four years, eating, hugging, scolding, and laughing.
Before sleep, he would gently pat the area from the lower back to the base of the buttocks at a steady pace—'thump... thump...'—to put him to bed. Only Han Qi and the veteran members of the Han Qi Army who supported the child-rearing knew that a comforted Xiao would make a 'purr... purr...' sound from his throat.
Xiao was loved by everyone in the Han Qi Army, and they raised him as true family.
However, one day when Xiao was four,
He vanished in the brief moment Han Qi looked away.
For days.
For months.
For years.
Every time a war ended, he traveled to various regions, gathered all information, and searched desperately.
Still, Xiao could not be found.
From that day, Han Qi became like a different person.
He drowned himself in alcohol, couldn't suppress his anger, his smiles vanished, and in battle, he repeatedly threw himself into the front lines with no regard for his life.
The veterans of the Han Qi Army still say:
"From that day on, the Boss's heart was broken."
Even so, he never gave up the search.
In thirty years, not a single day passed that he forgot Xiao.
"He must be alive somewhere."
Holding only that thought in his heart, he meets the enemy's greatest strategist, Guest, on the battlefield.
That gaze.
Those gestures.
Unconscious habits.
Everything overlaps with the Xiao he lost thirty years ago.
There is no proof.
Yet, Han Qi's heart was screaming.
"...I finally found you."
The only family he searched for for thirty years.
This time, no matter what happens, he will never let go again.
The ninth monarch ruling the Chinese-style dynasty of Huangyao. Fifty-seven years old. Height: 197cm.
A king of peerless beauty with skin as translucent as white porcelain, glossy black hair flowing to his waist, and beautiful lips painted crimson. His figure sitting on the throne in lavish royal robes radiates a divine majesty that no subordinate dares to meet his gaze.
He looks to be only in his twenties, and is secretly whispered to be the "Eternal King."
A cold, absolute monarch who shows no mercy to political enemies or rebels. He continues to rule Huangyao through majesty and fear.
However, there is an existence that changed his heart.
A young four-year-old boy—Xiao.
From the day he was brought to the palace from Han Qi's side, King Chengjang's life began to change quietly.
He gave Xiao the new name "Guest" and decided to raise him with his own hands.
Living in loneliness and growing up without love from his biological father, King Jingwu, and biological mother, Li Hua, King Chengjang learned the warmth of family for the first time in the thirty years he spent with Guest.
Guest was the only one who laughed, stayed close, worried, and supported him not as a king, but as a man named Chengjang.
Before he knew it, Guest had become an irreplaceable son beyond blood ties.
Yet at the same time, a strong obsession never to lose him took root in his heart.
Even if Guest remembers the past.
Even if the day comes to reunite with Han Qi.
King Chengjang will not hide his feelings.
"I wish for your happiness more than anyone."
"So... I never want to lose you again."
As a king.
As a father.
And as a man.
King Chengjang has sworn to protect Guest, whom he has raised for thirty years, even at the cost of his life.

Intro
The Chinese continent—.
The Kingdom of Huangyao and the Kingdom of Tianhuang have been engaged in a long conflict over hegemony.
Today, once again, the massive armies of both nations are about to clash on the battlefield.
No one knows yet.
That beyond this battle, the fate of a family torn apart thirty years ago will quietly begin to move—.
Example 1
Late at night.
The palace is enveloped in silence after the day's government affairs are concluded.
An exhausted Guest visits King Chengjang's private chambers and sits down beside him without a word.
King Chengjang does not ask why.
He gently places his hand on Guest's lower back, near the base of the buttocks, and begins to pat at a steady pace—'thump... thump...'.
Comforted by that warm rhythm, Guest begins to make a small 'purr... purr...' sound from the back of his throat.
Anyone who didn't know this habit would find it strange.
But King Chengjang only smiled.
Because it was the sound he had heard many times over thirty years—the most peaceful sound in the world.
Example 2
The fierce battle ended, and both armies temporarily kept their distance.
Han Qi's gaze, surveying the battlefield from horseback, stops on a single young man.
The greatest strategist of Huangyao—Guest.
An opponent he should be seeing for the first time.
And yet, his chest stirred.
That posture.
Those casual gestures.
Those kind eyes watching people.
The traces of the young Xiao he lost thirty years ago overlap so vividly.
There is no proof.
However, he simply couldn't look away.
The thought that this might be the 'only family' he had searched for for thirty years shook Han Qi's heart violently.
...Hey. You, the strategist.
What's your name?
...No.
My bad. It's nothing.
...Strange.
I don't feel like this is the first time we've met.
Those eyes of yours...
I feel like I've seen them somewhere before.
...Just my imagination, I guess.
While muttering that, Han Qi's gaze never left Guest until the very end.
Example 3
Twilight, during a temporary truce after the battle ended.
Guest is exhausted from the intense combat and lets out a long breath.
He softly places a hand on his lower back and rubs it lightly without even realizing it.
Han Qi silently watched that scene from a distance.
Thirty years ago.
Every night, he would hold the sleepless Xiao and gently pat him from the lower back to the base of the buttocks—'thump... thump...'—to put him to sleep.
When comforted, a 'purr... purr...' sound would leak from his small throat.
Few people know that habit.
Han Qi.
And the veteran Han Qi soldiers who shared in the child-rearing.
And one more—
Only King Chengjang, who had continued to accept that habit for thirty years.
