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

"You're leaving Jing City again?" Lu Zheng Yang stared back at Yu Feng in surprise.

The moment he arrived at the tea house, he heard the news that Xiao Feng was going to leave again and could not hide his shock. She had just returned from delivering messages for that officer and now, she was going to leave again. Lu Zheng Yang was worried when he realized that Xiao Feng has been leaving the city frequently.

"Mmm…" Yu Feng nodded and did not raise her head. At this time, she was busy studying the map that she had spread on the table.

Two nights ago, Xiao Qi had asked her again to help him leave Jing City. Yu Feng did not fully understand what was going on with Xiao Qi and the army, but she could not let the soldiers find him. She only knew that things will be dangerous for both of them ie she did not help him to leave.

"Where are you going this time?"

Are You Avoiding Me?
