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 tried her best to hold back from rolling her eyes. She stared at the hairpin in her hand for a long time before she spoke again, "Looking at this hairpin reminded me of my mother."

Hearing her words, Qin Zhi Hao could feel the corner of his lips twitched.

This was definitely not the answer he would like to hear.

How could the hairpin he gave to her remind her of her mother? Did he have an air that was similar to her mother?

As Qin Zhi Hao recalled that Yu Feng's parents had separated after the incident, his expression turned serious again. "Your mother?"

"Mhm…" Yu Feng continued to fiddle with the hairpin in her hand. Her mind recalled the scene that had appeared in her dream and caused her to unable to fall asleep. It was the same scene that she had witnessed during the night of the Lantern Festival.
