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

Yu Feng was surprised to hear from Chu Yi that the Prince was already waiting for her outside her courtyard. As she was not properly dressed, Yu Feng urged Chu Yi to help her put on proper clothes before she would meet the man.

"Did His Lordship stayed around last night?"

"He left around midnight and only returned this morning," Chu Yi reported.

Hearing her words, Yu Feng quickly put on her outer robe. She did not want the man to wait for too long. Once she was properly dressed, Yu Feng let Chu Yi leave. Soon, the Prince entered the room with a bright smile on his face.

Qin Zhi Hao shook his head. "I came over to have breakfast with you. He pulled her over to the dining area and called the others to start serving them breakfast.

Once the food was served, the couple ate their breakfast without mentioning Yu Feng's conversation with the Emperor.

The Empress's Maidservant.
