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

In the northeast, the border between Lantian and the Great Ming Qi was mostly surrounded by mountains and streams. The dense forest would make it hard for others to move around in a larger group.

However, at this time, the Third Prince, Qin Zhi Lin was leading a group of soldiers into this dense forest. Beside him, Captain Zhang was riding with him through the forest as he was more familiar with this place.

Sensing the strangeness in the atmosphere, Captain Zhang signaled the soldiers behind him to slow down. The atmosphere turned quiet again. The only sound they could hear was the sound of the horses.

Captain Zhang turned his head to the man beside him.

At this time, the Prince was wearing a mask that covered half of his face. Only his mouth and jaw could be seen to the others.
