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

"Do you need to leave this early?" Madam Gu asked as she watched Yu Feng packing up her belongings. "Why not stay here for another day?"

They only met again recently and Madam Gu was overjoyed that she had finally met Yu Feng again. She had thought that perhaps Yu Feng would stay longer and she would have the chance to look after that girl.

Madam Gu did not think that Yu Feng would want to leave the place quickly. The girl had told her that she wanted to leave as soon as possible. Madam Gu could not coax her to stay another day. In the end, she could only arrange a few things to let Yu Feng leave.

However, as she thought about Yu Feng's relationship with the Prince again, Madam Gu understood the reason Yu Feng wanted to leave. The Prince was angry at her lies and Yu Feng simply did not want to torture herself by staying at this place longer.

After the Prince had left, he went around somewhere else and did not return.

She Left!
