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

As the sunlight touched her face, Yu Feng began to stir in her sleep. Her eyelashes trembled and she slowly opened her eyes. Yu Feng slowly sat up and stretched her body. Because she was sleeping with her arms on the table, her body was sore all over.

It took her a while to figure out why she was not sleeping in bed.

Yu Feng stood up in a panic to look for the fabric that she has been working on last night. Once she found it resting on her laps, Yu Feng finally heaved a sigh of relief.

A faint smile appeared on her lips as her fingers caressed the item in her hand gently.

After working so hard on it, she was finally able to finish this piece. Her needlework had improved a lot. Yu Feng checked at the piece again before she realized that the sun has come out.

Yu Feng seemed to remember that Xiao Qi will be leaving to join General Li Mu this morning.

With that realization, Yu Feng gripped the item in his hand before she ran out of the room.
