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

After she returned from town, Yu Feng spent most of her time in her courtyard to learn sewing from Chu Yi.

She could not find anything that she liked in the market and thus, Yu Feng decided to listen to Chu Yi's idea and made something for Xiao Qi.

According to Chu Yi, most men would be happy when they received something handmade from the person they loved. Yu Feng was influenced by Chu Yi's words and thought that she could learn and make something for him.

It will be her blood and sweat. Surely Xiao Qi would be happy to receive it, right?

However, after two days of learning from Chu Yi, Yu Feng was starting to feel that perhaps she should just give up. Chu Yi made it all look easy, but Yu Feng thought that needlework was very difficult.

Her work was too crooked. Each time that she looked at it, Yu Feng had the urge to throw her work away.
