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

Her thoughts were running wild and Yu Feng could not stop herself from overthinking. The panic was evident in her expression.

The Emperor was still waiting for her answer. Yu Feng took a deep breath and finally spoke, "Answering to His Majesty, yes, we have met before." She hesitated for a few seconds before she continued, "The last time we met was three years ago during the lantern festival."

His eyes turned darker at the mention of the lantern festival three years ago.

That year, his son, his consort, and a few of his trusted aides made a grand plan to kill him. They were daring enough to plant some explosives around the city for their purpose.

Unfortunately, because of his position as well as his incompetence, he could only punish the state chancellor and his men heavily. Meanwhile, his consort was sent to the cold palace and his son was in prison in his own residence. However, many things were not made known to the public.

You are That Boy!
