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

As he arrived at the site of the banquet, Qin Zhi Hao could hear the voice of people talking about him from a distance away. The moment that they have seen his presence at the banquet, the discussions turned to a whisper.

On this day, a banquet was held at the Imperial Garden. To celebrate Prince Yi's return to Capital City, the Emperor had invited all the nobles and courtiers and their family members to attend this banquet.

Not too long ago, the women from the noble families heard that the Empress was searching for a marriage partner for Prince Yi.

Although they were aware that Prince Yi loved spending his time on the Northern Border, he was still the Prince that the Emperor valued. The women from the noble families wanted this chance to match their unmarried daughter to Prince Yi. Hence, a lot of ladies had visited the Empress, sending her gifts and such in the hope to catch the Empress's eyes.
