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 Empress was entertaining her guests when her maidservant entered the room anxiously.

Seeing that the girl was acting rudely, the Empress's expression turned darker. Before she could reprimand this maidservant, the girl had inched closer and whispered a few words.

Her eyes widened in surprise. However, the Empress was quick to cover the expression on her face. She whispered a few words to the maidservant and watched as the girl left.

When she was facing her guests again, the Empress continued to smile as if nothing had happened. She placed the teacup in her hand gently and chuckled. "I'm sorry. Madam Xu, Miss Xu, it seemed that we will have to end this meeting."

Yan Ying flashed an amiable smile. "It's fine. Your Highness, as the mother of the country, you are a busy woman after all."
