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

A group of Imperial Physicians ran in and out from the Crown Prince's bed chamber with a pale look on their faces.

At the side, the eunuchs who served the Eastern Palace had their heads down. They were anxious as they watched the Imperial Physician came in and out of the bed-chamber. It was feared that once the Imperial Physician came out with negative news, every one of the eunuchs would lose their life.

The Crown Princess was pacing back and forth as she waited for the head of the Imperial Physician to come out. Once in a while, the Crown Princess would stop to peek at the Crown Prince's bed-chamber before she would continue to worry about her husband.

Her closest maidservant was by her side, coaxing the princess not to worry too much as the Imperial Physicians will definitely come out and assure them that everything would be alright. However, the Crown Princess did not listen to her.
