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 couple left the restaurant after their meal. The streets were brightened with the bright lanterns on both sides of the street. They walked on foot for a long time to look around the street but Yu Feng was still unable to guess where was this man planning to take her.

"You have been really secretive. Where do you plan to take me?

Qin Zhi Hao laughed upon sensing that his wife was getting anxious. "What are you worried about? I am not going to sell you away." He stretched his hand and patted at her head. "Are you tired already?"

"This place used to be my playground. I used to run around this place every day," Yu Feng said. "I only walked for a while. How can I be tired so quickly?"

"That's right. My wife had a lot of stamina and did not get tired easily."

Yu Feng heard his words and thought that there was something wrong with it. However, after thinking for a while, she was not able to find out what it was.
