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 temperature was getting colder around the northern border.

In one of the tea houses in the city, a young man was dressed in a sky blue robe. His hair was tied with a similar color hair string. The color of the young man's outfit seemed to match the young man's carefree temper.

At this time, the young man was concentrating on the abacus on the table. His hand was holding a brush as he jotted down everything that he had counted.

On the side of the table, hot steam came out of the teacup. In the center of the room, a small brazier was set up to warm up the room. The surrounding was quiet and the only thing that can be heard was the rustling of the papers and the clacking of the abacus.

A knock was heard coming from the door.

The finger on the abacus stopped and Yu Feng raised her head to look at the door. "Come in."

The door slid open and a young man walked in with a smile on his face. "Xiao Feng, I'm back."
