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 carriage stopped outside the gate of the West Market. With Chu Yi by her side, Yu Feng walked around the market until she finally reached the restaurant.

Yu Feng stood outside and watched as the customer walked in and out of the building. Then, she walked into the restaurant and smiled upon seeing that the table was full of customers.

At this time, a young boy walked over to Yu Feng. He opened his mouth to tell her that the restaurant is full and that she will have to wait for a while before she can get a table. However, the boy stopped himself upon recognizing her face. Swiftly, the smile on his face turned brighter. "Young Miss, your private room is ready. Please come with me."

Yu Feng nodded. Then, she followed the boy upstairs and was escorted to her private room.

The moment Yu Feng sat down, the boy quickly helped to pour her a cup of water. At the side, Chu Yi was wiping the table before she sat down.
