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

Although Pei Yan had assured her that Xiao Qi would be alright, Yu Feng did not feel at ease.

Whenever her mind would think of him, her heartbeat would accelerate and Yu Feng could not calm down for a long time. Her woman's intuition was telling her that something was happening to Xiao Qi but no one would tell her anything.

There were countless times that Yu Feng thought about heading out to find Xiao Qi. However, she did not know where she should go to look for him.

Besides... she had already promised him that she would stay with Madam Gu and wait for him to return obediently.

In the end, Yu Feng could only try to deceive herself that Xiao Qi is alright without any harm.

A few weeks have passed since the last time Yu Feng heard a bit of the news about what happened in the northeast. As she was busy worrying about Xiao Qi while looking over the business at the same time, the servants who used to work for her family finally arrived in Daqi.
