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

"I do have some plan." Yu Feng poured herself some tea and smiled. Didn't I say that I have something important to discuss with you?"

Lu Zheng Yang watched the girl cautiously. "What is it?"

"Brother Zheng Yang… are you angry that I have made that decision without consulting you first?"

"Of course not." Lu Zheng Yang heaved a sigh. "I know that you look after the kids well. You would not do anything and agree to something that will cause them any harm."

Her lips tilted up to a smile. Yu Feng was worried that Lu Zheng Yang would be upset.

Initially, she was planning to discuss the matter with Lu Zheng Yang. However, Officer Zhou Ming had shown up earlier than she had expected.

Yu Feng gathered her thoughts and tried to come out with the appropriate words. "Brother Zheng Yang, I have been thinking about this matter for a while. I think... I want to train the younger kids to deliver messages."
