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 next morning, Qin Zhi Hao went over to see the Emperor as soon as the morning meeting with the ministers and officials had ended.

As he approached the building, Qin Zhi Hao could see the Grand Eunuch escorting the two princes out of the room. The three of them exchanged a few words before they were separated.

Qin Zhi Hao naturally recognized his two brothers, the Fifth Prince, Qin Zhi Cheng, and the Ninth Prince, Qin Zhi Jian. The two princes were brothers from the same mother. It was not strange to see that the two brothers were always together.

The two princes walked in his direction and paused upon meeting his gaze.

"Seventh Brother," It was Qin Zhi Jian who had spoken first.

Qin Zhi Hao nodded before he greeted his two brothers, "Fifth Brother, Ninth Brother." His gaze fell on Qin Zhi Cheng who was watching him with a scrutinizing look.

After a few seconds, his Fifth Brother walked away without saying anything.
