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

Pei Zi left the place before daybreak.

When Yu Feng visited their courtyard, Xiao Qi was having his breakfast in the small dining area. As she walked closer, Xiao Qi motioned her to sit down and invited her to have her breakfast with him.

"It's fine. I already ate." Yu Feng looked around and asked, "Where are the others?"

Qin Zhi Hao lifted his head as he detected a fragrant smell coming from Xiao Feng. A frown appeared on his face, but he decided not to comment on it."Pei Zi is running an errand and Pei Yan is still resting." He put his cutlery down and looked at the person beside him. "Where did you stay last night?"

Yu Feng lowered her head and cough. "I was staying in another room." She noticed the way Xiao Qi had raised a brow and explained, "The discussion with Wang Meng lasted for a long time. I did not want to disturb you guys, therefore they sent me to stay in another room. Anyway, there are a lot of vacant rooms around the house."
