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 suppressed her desire to look out the window as the carriage started to move. Although she was curious to look out, Yu Feng knew well that she had to hide her identity well.

"Where are we going?" Yu Feng asked. She felt a gentle tug on her fingers and saw that the Prince was touching and pinching at her hands. She did not know what was on his mind but ever since they sat down in the carriage, a certain prince kept on holding her hand tightly.

"To look at the place that Pei Xu had chosen," Qin Zhi Hao answered. A thought came to his mind and turned to look at the girl beside him. "We are going out all day. I will only return you to the Zhou's residence at night. Will that be alright?"

Yu Feng stared at him in puzzled. "What are you planning to do?"

His lips curved into a smile. "It's a secret. You will know later."
