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

"Young Miss, does this feel alright?" Chu Yi asked as she continued to rub at Yu Feng's shoulder.

Yu Feng nodded her head lazily. "Un. This feels alright."

In the past few weeks, Yu Feng had to learn a lot of things from the elder nannies about all sorts of things. Initially, she had thought that the lesson should not be that difficult. However, because someone wanted to quickly marry her, everything had to be taught quickly. From the moment she woke up, she had to learn a lot of things from the nannies. These days, she barely got enough time to rest.

Fortunately, today was one of the days that she did not have to study with the nannies. The Prince had promised to take her out to walk around the city and because of that, she got to apply a day off from the lessons.

Yu Feng wished that she could stay in her room and make up for the sleeping time that she had lost. However, as she thought about walking around the city, her fatigue seemed to disappear.
