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

On the day of the grand opening, Yu Feng dressed in blue cloth with a layer of muslin. On her hair was a simple wood-carved hairpin that Qin Zhi Hao had given her previously.

Qin Zhi Hao looked at the woman in front of him and a rare gentle smile curled on his lips. The moment the girl stopped in front of him, Qin Zhi Hao gave her a look over and nodded in approval. He took her hand in his and said, "You look beautiful."

Hearing his praise, Yu Feng felt heat crept to her face. She lowered her head shyly and looked up again when she felt that the man had pulled out the hairpin in her hair.

Yu Feng looked at the hairpin in his hand and gave him an inquiring look. "Why did you pull that hairpin away?"

Qin Zhi Hao did not answer. Instead, he kept the hairpin with him and took out a new hairpin. He placed the new hairpin in her hand and asked, "What do you think?"
