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 Grand Eunuch entered the hall with a big smile on his face. Even when the Empress was scowling at him, the smile on the Grand Eunuch's face did not fade away even a little bit.

Everyone could guess why the Grand Eunuch had suddenly appeared at the Empress Palace.

The Empress gritted her teeth angrily at the Grand Eunuch's timely appearance.

"Greetings to Her Majesty, the Empress," the Grand Eunuch greeted. Then, he turned to the two princes and greeted the same.

"Grand Eunuch, why are you here?" the Empress asked.

The Eunuch smiled. "The Emperor heard that Prince Yi had entered the palace for a long time and worried when he had not arrived to meet him. Your Majesty, I came here to invite Prince Yi to the Emperor's hall."

"Grand Eunuch, as you can see, Prince Yi is still having his lunch," the Empress said. "Can't you wait until he finishes his meal?"
