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

Chu Yi followed the guard in front of her until they had reached the carriage.

Seeing that the maidservant had approached, Pei Zi knocked on the carriage's wall and announced the maidservant's arrival.

After a while, the prince alighted from the carriage and he let Chu Yi go in to attend Yu Feng.

Chu Yi was surprised to see Yu Feng's reddened eyes the moment she entered the carriage. She put down the clothes bag beside her and examined Yu Feng's face. "Young Miss, what happened to you?" Chu Yi's thoughts went wild and she started to think that perhaps the prince and her young miss had an argument that made her cry.

Yu Feng flashed her a smile. "Nothing. I ran into someone that made me upset."

A breath of relief escaped her when she heard those words. As long as the two were not arguing, Chu Yi would be at ease.

"Chu Yi, help me to get change, alright?"
