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

In the evening, the General's wife invited everyone to have a meal together.

Yu Feng sat at the table and could not help but glance at the General's wife a few times. After walking around the plum orchard earlier that day and found that the place looked somehow familiar, Yu Feng kept on thinking that perhaps the General's wife was familiar with her grandmother.

When Yu's family started to go down, Yu Feng was very young and she could not understand much about what was going on. She had tried to figure out what happened in that year during the time she had lived in Capital City with the beggars. However, no one talked about that matter and she was too powerless to investigate anything.

Everything that she knew was almost the same as what Uncle Chen knew.

Yu Feng clipped on the vegetable dishes before she glanced at the General's wife again. This time, their gaze met. Seeing that the woman was looking back at her, Yu Feng was suddenly startled.
