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

His meeting with the Emperor lasted for a few hours. The moment he mentioned that he had brought along Yu Feng to Capital City, Qin Zhi Hao had noticed the change in the Emperor's gaze. There was a hint of anticipation as well as hesitation in his eyes.

The Emperor had asked him a lot of questions regarding Yu Feng. Before he was finally allowed to leave the hall, the Emperor had set the date for him to bring Yu Feng into the palace.

When he left, Qin Zhi Hao heard that the Emperor spoke to his eunuch.

The Emperor was no longer in the mood to look at his documents and he wanted to return to his bed chamber and rest instead.

Qin Zhi Hao left the palace with deep thought. When he arrived at the gate, Qin Zhi Hao saw a familiar silhouette stood beside it. A frown appeared on his face upon seeing the way his brother was pacing back and forth.
