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 sky was still dark when the carriage went down the mountain. After a short distance journey, the driver pulled over once they reached an inn.

Pei Zi peeked his head out of the carriage and whispered towards the hidden compartment in the carriage. Hearing that his master muttered a low acknowledgment, Pei Zi then jumped down the carriage and turned to look at Xiao Feng who was chatting with a merchant's leader from Snow Plateau.

He waited for Xiao Feng to finish his conversation and commented, "I can't believe that you would really look like a shrewd businessman."

Yu Feng heard his mockery tone and flashed a smile. "Thank you."

The corner of Pei Zi's lips started to twitch. He was not complimenting the skinny boy. "What are we doing here?"
