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

Perhaps it was because she was not used to the new surrounding, but that night, Yu Feng found that she could not fall asleep at night. After tossing and turning for a while, Yu Feng ended up staring at the ceiling.

Taking a deep breath, Yu Feng stood up from bed and walked over to the window. The beautiful bamboo garden could be seen as soon as she pushed open the window.

Her gaze turned softer as she looked at the scenery in front of her. Yu Feng was fully aware that the Zhou mother and son had treated her really well. They had even let her live in one of the best courtyards.

The cold wind blew. Just as she was pulling at her robe to keep herself warm, something flashed past her. Her lips parted in shock. Yu Feng quickly stopped herself before she could scream out and wake the rest of the people in the residence.

Seeing the way she had reacted, the man's lips tilted up into a smile.
