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 carriage moved farther from Jing City and headed towards the west. After a few hours, the carriage finally entered a village. Yu Feng instructed Pei Zi to pulled aside and jumped down to purchase a few meat buns. Once she returned, Yu Feng divided the meat buns between them and gave Pei Zi a direction.

Pei Zi took a big bite on the meat bun and held the reins, "Where are we heading?"

Pei Zi stared back at Xiao Feng, wondering if this boy was pulling his leg. Seeing that the boy had not uttered another word, Pei Zi decided to continue and drive the carriage towards the direction she gave.

His gaze was looking straight ahead, but Pei Zi was secretly watching the boy next to him.

The four of them have been on the road for hours. As he was driving the carriage, Pei Zi has been observing Xiao Feng.
