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

Back in that guest's room, Yu Feng stared at the bowl of medicine on the table with a dazed expression. Hearing the movement outside the room, Yu Feng finally lifted the bowl and drank the medicine until the bowl was emptied. The liquid entered her body, making her warmer.

As she placed the bowl back on the table, Madam Gu entered with an elder servant following her.

Madam Gu signaled the other servants to leave the room as she walked over to Yu Feng. She glanced at the food on the table and smiled. "Miss Yu Feng, I hope that you are feeling much better today."

Yu Feng looked at Madam Gu with an embarrassed expression. This was the first time in a long time that someone had addressed her as Miss Yu Feng. The feeling was really strange.

She stood up and curtsied the way she had been taught years ago. "Thank you Madam for your care."
