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

Five days later, Yu Feng gathered her stuff into a small parcel. Inside were a few changes of clothes and a few snacks for her and Orange. The two of them will travel north and the journey might take weeks or months. She only took everything important and leave the others.

Yu Feng gave the place she had lived in for the past few years with longing. It would be a lie to say that she was not sad to leave this place. However, she was determined that there was nothing will stop her from leaving Capital City.

In this town, there were a lot of memories. Eventually, the bad memories had topped everything else.

There was nothing else for her in this town. Her family was no longer here and Yu Feng did not see a reason for her to stay.

Yu Feng snapped out of her trance and turned to Orange. The feline blinked at her once before he rubbed his head on Yu Feng's legs. Sensing the animal's uneasiness, Yu Feng crouched down and rubbed at Orange's head.
