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 atmosphere around the Zhou's residence was especially lively.

The servants went around as they busied themselves to tidy up the place and doing their best to decorate the place.

It seemed that the Zhou's residence has not been this lively for years. Seeing the bustling scene in front of her, Madam Zhou became too happy and the smile on her face stayed for a long time.

Zhou Ming watched his mother's happy smile and became infected as well. It has been a long time since he had seen his mother this happy.

The reason Madam Zhou has become this happy was of course, because of her adoptive daughter. The moment Yu Feng had called her 'mother', Madam Zhou was too excited that she had given the servants some gifts.

After a while, Madam Zhou had kept her adoptive daughter at her side and the two of them chatted about a lot of things. Mostly, it was Madam Zhou who talked while Yu Feng sat beside her and listened.
