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

Hearing that someone was waiting for her, Yu Feng quickly walked to the main hall with Chu Yi and Bai Zhi trailing behind her. As soon as she entered the room, Yu Feng was surprised to find that it was Lu Zheng Yang himself who had come to see her.

The man stood up to greet her. "The kids reported that you didn't join the trip to that summer hunt outside the city," Lu Zheng Yang said. "I didn't expect that it would be the truth."

"You have been keeping your eyes on me?" Yu Feng asked in a joking tone.

Lu Zheng Yang chuckled. "The kids are forever worried about you. Of course, they would pay attention to your movements."

Yu Feng turned to the girls and instructed them to prepare some refreshments for their guests. Chu Yi stayed to accompany Yu Feng while Bai Xia stepped outside and headed to the kitchen.
