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

Yu Feng woke up with a terrible headache and parched throat. She opened her eyes to a slit and looked around her surrounding. Her head was fuzzy and it took her a while to figure out what had happened to her.

She could still remember that she was visiting her father's grave. It has been years since she had come to visit him.

When she saw the unmarked grave again, Yu Feng was overwhelmed by emotion and she could not stop crying. Her stomach hurt without reason and Yu Feng began to suspect that the meat jerky she ate had spoiled.

The physical and emotional pain was too much that she had passed out.

Various thoughts came to her mind.

Yu Feng finally snapped out of her trance and found out that something doesn't feel right.
