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 next morning, the moment Yu Feng arrived at her tea house, she immediately went into her private office.

One of the orphans who was working there came into the room and helped to pour some tea for Yu Feng. The little girl saw that something was preoccupying their boss's mind and chose to keep her quiet as she was afraid that she might be disturbing her boss's thoughts.

The little girl tidied up the room a little bit and came out once everything was done. She then carried a tray in her hand and walked around absentmindedly until she stumbled into someone else.

The items on the tray clattered and fortunately, the other person had managed to grab the tray before it fell on the ground.

The girl called Ah Li raised her head and her cheek turned slightly pink the moment she saw the person in front of her. "Brother Zheng Yang. Sorry. I was not paying attention."
