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.”

When Qin Zhi Hao arrived at the Emperor's palace, he was surprised to see that his Consort Mother accompanying His Majesty in his study. The Emperor sat behind the desk with his eyes closed and his Consort Mother was helping him to massage his temple gently.

Suddenly, Qin Zhi Hao did not know how was he supposed to deliver the news to the Emperor with his Consort Mother around.

The Emperor seemed to notice his presence and raised his head to look at him. He saw that this son was dressed in his armor and knew that he came with important news from the north.

He raised a hand and the hand that was massaging his temple stopped.

The consort took a step back and watched the father and son alternately. Her heart grew heavy as she wondered what sort of news that her son had brought back.
