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 felt a headache coming as he watched the Prince paced back and forth in the room. Once in a while, the prince would pause before he stared out the window. A deep frown appeared on the Prince's face as he was listening to the movement in the other room.

At this time, Pei Zi was worried about the boy as well, but he thought that the Prince's reaction was a little too much.

He heard from the Prince that Xiao Feng was going to look around the General's house to find a way to sneak inside and met with the General's wife. Pei Zi was surprised to know that the Prince would allow Xiao Feng to look around alone. He knew that the Prince thought highly of Xiao Feng and would worry if something would happen to him.

However, he also understood that they have no choice. Xiao Feng was the only person who could help them.

Time ticking away, but it did not seem as if Xiao Feng had returned to his room.
