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

The two of them left Madam Gu's courtyard together. Qin Zhi Hao walked with Yu Feng by her side as he accompanied her back to her courtyard. Qin Zhi Hao glanced at Yu Feng and knew that she was thinking about the conversation with Madam Gu earlier.

They continued to walk in silence until they arrived at Yu Feng's courtyard.

Qin Zhi Hao continued to follow Yu Feng but the girl did not seem to notice that he was tagging along. He watched as Yu Feng headed to the pavilion and sat down. After a while, Yu Feng finally looked up. Their gazes finally met and they continued to stare at each other for a long time.

"Why are you here?" Yu Feng finally snapped out of her trance. She studied her surroundings and saw that she was back in her courtyard. Yu Feng turned to Xiao Qi again and frowned.

Qin Zhi Hao smiled. He leaned forward and touched the tip of her nose. "You were deep in your thought that you did not notice me coming with you."
