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

A shadow flashed by as Yu Feng left Madam Gu's courtyard. As she walked further away, a figure suddenly appeared by her side.

Perhaps, Yu Feng was starting to get used to it and did not appear to be surprised when Pei Yan suddenly appeared by her side.

The man stared at Yu Feng for a long time without saying a word. There was a complicated look on Pei Yan's face.

As the person who was assigned to stay by Yu Feng's side, Pei Yan did not dare to leave her side for too long. He was staying hidden while protecting Yu Feng as usual when he heard Yu Feng's conversation with Madam Gu.

Pei Yan could not hide his surprise when he heard Yu Feng's request. He had never thought that Yu Feng would think of leaving Daqi to find the Prince.

The Prince cared very much about Yu Feng. There was no way that he would want to let Yu Feng knew about his condition and let the girl worry about him.
