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

General Li Mu's Residence in Daqi Town

The chilly wind blew gently, causing a few reddened leaves to fell on the ground. One leaf was blown over slightly farther and finally fell on the pond, creating gentle ripples on the water's surface.

At the side of this man-made pond, Yu Feng stood straight as she gazed at the moon.

Her face was full of longing. It was as if looking at this moon would help her to ease the pain of missing someone. It was as if she could see the person's face appearing o the moon's surface.

At this time, Chu Yi appeared by her side and placed a thick robe on Yu Feng's body.

This movement made her snapped out of her trance. Yu Feng turned around and finally noticed Chu Yi at her side. She felt the robe's weight on her body and smiled at the maidservant.

"Young Miss, it's cold out here. You need to wear thickly or else, you might get sick."
