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 few hours had passed but Pei Yan had not returned with any news. Yu Feng stared out the window and could not help but worry.

She had only asked Pei Yan to inform her brother, Zhou Ming about the abnormalities that Lu Zheng Yang had spoken to her earlier. However, that man had still not returned. Her heartbeat accelerated as various scenes had appeared in her mind. Yu Feng could not sit still until Pei Yan had returned.

Madam Zhou had come over to visit her courtyard earlier. Yu Feng could only put on a smile on her face as she did not want her adoptive mother to worry.

Once Madam Zhou had left, Yu Feng went to look for Mo Chen again. "Have Pei Yan returned?"

The butler's expression turned slightly darker as he shook his head. "Not yet."

Yu Feng pursed her lips into a thin line before she spoke again, "Mo Chen, can you go and investigate what is going on?"
