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 finally entered the house when Deng Bai invited them in.

Yu Feng looked around the familiar place and finally noticed Uncle Deng sitting at a corner with his body leaning over the wall. As soon as she entered, their gazes met and Uncle Deng stared at her with an inquiring gaze.

Deng Bai turned around to look at Yu Feng and whispered, "Oh, right. I forgot to mention this earlier but my father's memory was not as good as it used to be. Sometimes, he can think properly. Sometimes, his head can be a bit muddled."

Yu Feng stared back at the boy with surprise. However, she quickly composed herself and walked over to Deng Xiao Lin with a smile. Deng Bai was leading them.

"Dad. Someone is here to see you," Deng Bai called. He glanced at Yu Feng and continued, "You remember Xiao Feng?"

A light flashed in Deng Xiao Lin's eyes. However, he soon looked at Yu Feng with a confused gaze.

You Remember Xiao Feng?
