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

Fortunately, Yu Feng arrived in Jing City before the city gate was closed. Yu Feng walked past her tea house and stumbled into Lu Zheng Yang. The man saw her and was surprised to see that she had returned so quickly.

"Xiao Feng? Why are you here? I thought that you would return tomorrow?" Lu Zheng Yang asked while he gave her body a quick scan. Seeing that there was no injury on her body, Lu Zheng Yang let out a heave of sigh.

"Mmm… The task finished quicker than I expected. I decided to return earlier," Yu Feng said. "What about the other boys? Have they returned?"

"The boys had returned in the afternoon and had reported back to Zhou Ming. Don't worry. Everyone arrived safely without injuries."

"Good." Yu Feng smiled upon hearing that the others were uninjured.
