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

That night, Yu Feng returned to the shack in the woods with Chen Lu Nan. The elderly man sighed as he watched the young miss packed her bag. He could not understand why did she have to leave, but Chen Lu Nan knew that no matter what he said, Yu Feng was determined to leave.

As someone who had served the family for a long time, Chen Lu Nan was worried about the young miss. She was the only one left in Yu's family and Chen Lu Nan wanted to protect her in her master's stead for as long as he could.

However, this young miss was just like her paternal grandfather. She can be very stubborn.

Once she was determined that she wanted to do something, it would be hard for anyone to convince her otherwise.

"Uncle Chen, don't worry. I promise you that I will be safe," Yu Feng said. She patted at the bag on her bed and smiled. "You know that I am very familiar with the woods. I promise you that I will come back safely."
