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

When Yu Feng arrived in Xiao Qi's courtyard, she ran into Pei Zi who had just gotten back from somewhere. The guard greeted her at the door and let her to the study.

"Miss Yu, I heard that your lodging will be operating soon."

The smile on her face stiffened. "Pei Zi, It's too strange to hear you call me Miss Yu."

In the past, Pei Zi would always call her Xiao Feng. Ever since she had disclosed her gender, Pei Zi had gradually stopped calling her Xiao Feng and instead, had changed the calling to Miss Yu.

Pei Zi merely smiled. Unless if he wanted to suffer the Prince's wrath, there was no way that he could continue to call her Xiao Feng. Pei Zi pretended that he did not hear Yu Feng's words and continued to talk to her about the lodging until they reached the study.
