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 warm breeze blew, causing the small trees to sway gently and the leaves rustled. The faint fragrant of the flowers were carried over, making anyone who was walking in the garden seem to be in a good mood.

At the side of the lake, the Empress was seen walking around with two ladies at the side. Behind them, a few servants were trailing after the women closely as they waited for the Empress to give her instruction.

As the Crown Prince walked into the garden to find his mother, this was the scene that he saw. The Crown Prince shifted his gaze to his mother's guests.

At this time, the middle-aged woman was speaking to the Empress, while the younger one stood obediently beside the older one.

The Empress was seen speaking with her guests with a calm look on her face. Meanwhile, her guests, a pair of mother and daughter seemed very anxious as they continued to chat with the Empress.
