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

"Pei Yan, please tell me the truth." Her voice almost broke into a sob.

At this time, Yu Feng was unable to suppress the heavy feeling in her heart.

Even though Pei Yan has not said a word, Yu Feng could guess that the news that General Li Mu had sent back to his wife was not hundred percent true. They were on a battlefield and General Li Mu would not want his wife to worry.

His gaze wavered upon hearing her tone. Pei Yan was aware that he should not say a word about the Prince's condition. However, as he looked at the look on Yu Feng's face, Pei Yan did not have the heart to lie to her.

"What Madam Gu said was true. His Lordship is in the northeast and he won't return to Daqi before he cleaned up everything in the army," Pei Yan said.

Yu Feng took a deep breath as she convinced herself that she has been thinking too much. Since Pei Yan had assured her that Xiao Qi is alright, she should trust his words, right?
