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

"I'm new here," Yu Feng spoke slowly. "Before I ran into your… uh… siblings, I was walking around the market to look at what they are selling here."

Lu Zheng Yang's expression brightened. "Are you looking for something in the market?"

She nodded. "Just some paper and ink." A thought came to her mind and Yu Feng asked, "Do you know a good merchant?"

The boy thought over her question seriously. A frown appeared on his face as he tapped his fingers at his chin. "It depends on how much is your budget and what sort of stationery you are looking for."

"You can advise me where I should buy based on my budget?" Yu Feng raised a brow and thought that this matter was interesting.
