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

The inn where the group of merchants has been staying was very lively.

At this time, the staff began to carry their goods on their cart.

Earlier that morning, those who were assigned to go out to the market had quickly sobered up from last night's banquet. After going out for a few hours, the group returned as they managed to purchase a few bags of that special grains with the locals.

Now that their business in Jing City was complete, the group of merchants was planning to continue their journey.

This time, they are carrying a lot of foodstuffs to be traded with another place. The items they carried were perishable and would spoil easily if they were not properly stored. Because of this, the group of merchants could not afford to stay at one place for a long time lest they would end up with a loss.

Yu Feng watched as the group started to carry the stuff as she chatted with them about their next destination.
