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

That morning, Yu Feng was browsing through some documents that Lu Zheng Yang had sent to her when she noticed that Chu Yi who was standing beside her had suddenly retreated.

As she lifted her head, her husband's charming face appeared before her. In his hand, he was holding a familiar box. Yu Feng quickly recognized that this box was from a famous pastry shop in the city.

"You're back." With a smile, Yu Feng stood up, walked around the table, and reached his side.

"Hmm..." Qin Zhi Hao wrapped his free hand around her waist to pull her closer. He pressed her lips into a kiss before he slowly let her go. "I bought your favorite pastries on my way home."

Yu Feng took the box from him and placed it on the table. Then, habitually, she helped him to take off the cloak around his shoulder.

The couple has been married for a month and Yu Feng was slowly getting used to this new role as his wife.

"You're home early. Did the meeting ended early?"
