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

Qin Zhi Hao heaved a helpless sigh. "Did I wake you up? Sorry." He patted her on the head. "Go back to sleep."

Yu Feng sat up straight. Her sleepiness disappeared upon seeing that the person she was waiting for had returned. "Have you eaten? I will ask Chu Yi to bring in something for you to eat."

"It's fine. I've eaten something with Zhi Chen earlier." He leaned to kiss her forehead and smiled. "Were you waiting for me?"

Yu Feng nodded. "Did something happened?"

It was rare for him to return home so late. Yu Feng had thought that the Emperor had held him in the palace, wanting to discuss an important matter.

"Hmm..." Qin Zhi Hao sat at the edge of the bed. "The Emperor is holding a summer hunt in a few weeks. He asked me and a few others to stay back and discuss the security. The discussion took longer than expected. Sorry. I should have let someone inform you. This way, you would not have to wait for me."
