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

The atmosphere in the room turned silent as soon as Yu Feng stepped in. Heads turned and everyone was staring at her with their eyes wide and mouths opened. It seemed that everyone could not conceal their surprise upon seeing her return.

Seeing the look on their faces, Yu Feng suddenly felt a little awkward.

Why did she feel as if everyone was staring at her as if she was a ghost?

Unable to deal with their reaction anymore, Yu Feng let out a dry cough. She held up a hand and gave a tiny wave. "Hello. How is everyone?"

The sound of gasp filled the room.

"Xiao Feng, you have finally returned!" It was Rong Jin who was the first to jog over to Yu Feng's side.

Yu Feng looked at the boy in front of her and smiled. Her head tilted to one side as she observed Rong Jin. It seemed that after a long time she had not seen him, Rong Jin had grown up taller. "Rong Jin."
