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 closed her eyes as the horse galloped into the woods. She tried to hold on to the horse tightly as she was afraid that she would be thrown off, and the person who sat behind her did not offer any security. Yu Feng never thought that riding a horse with different people would give her a different feeling.

Earlier, Pei Zi had helped her and let the soldiers withdraw their weapons. The moment Pei Zi heard about a secret letter, he had no choice but to help Yu Feng to get to His Highness's side.

After all, he was the only one who knew where did the Prince had gone to.

That morning, His Highness Prince Yi had gone out with a few of the high-ranked officers as well as a few soldiers and head into the woods to patrol the area. Someone had reported that the Great Ming Qi's soldiers were seen roaming around the area and the Prince wanted to find out their plan.

"You better not lie to me," Pei Zi warned as they continued to head to the location.
