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

Yu Feng followed the Madam into a room and sat down with Orange sleeping in her arms. The moment she sat down at the table, a few servants walked in carrying trays of refreshment.

At the side, the Madam sat down as she was focused on preparing some tea.

Yu Feng looked at the Madam and thought that this woman seemed very gentle and soft. It felt strange to imagine that such a person was married to a General.

The servants left as soon as they were done. Orange looked up and his eyes darted towards the tray of food as if he was looking for something to eat. He then continued to sleep when he could not smell anything delicious for him.

Once the Madam was done, she placed the teacup in front of Yu Feng and smiled. "Have some tea and tell me how does it taste like."
