Yu Feng was a street thief with a reputation as 'the thief who has never gotten caught'. Until that one day...

Her capture threatened her to work for him. Her task? To carry messages and deliver them to each receiver—she became a runner.

The seventh prince, Prince Yi was fighting against time as they are trying to find evidence of the enemy trying to assassinate the Emperor. However, recently most of his messenger never reached their destination and this has caused them a huge loss. This was why he needed someone who knew the Capital City's streets and shortcuts to help him. 

When Prince Yi found out his runner's identity, he was delighted! But once Yu Feng found out the identity of the man she was working for, she tried to escape.

“Yu Feng, you dare to run away from me. This Prince had caught you once. Believe me when I say that I will catch you again.”

The Story of Yu Feng

Raising her head, Yu Feng was surprised upon realizing that Officer Zhou Ming had brought her over to his residence. She turned to the man and asked, "Officer Zhou Ming, why did you bring me here?"


The corner of his lips curled up into a faint smile. "Didn't you say that I should treat you to a feast after the lantern festival is over? Since you have done so well to protect the city, of course, I have to treat you to something good."


Yu Feng clicked her tongue. "Officer Zhou Ming, if you think that I've done very well, shouldn't you treat me to something good at a fancy restaurant? Why did you take me back to your residence?"


"Didn't you say that my mother's pancake is very good?"


"So, you're going to let me eat your mother's pancake as a reward?"


"Don't say that." Officer Zhou Ming let out a chuckle. The way he was looking at Yu Feng was full of disdain."My mother's cooking is the best. It's even better than the one at those fancy restaurants."
