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

Xu Yue Ru put a hand on her chest and took a deep breath to calm down. She looked at the person in front of her again with a slight frown on her face. "Mother, you scare me."

She had left the banquet in the hope to look for the person that she liked. Xu Yue Ru did not expect that her mother would also come out to look after her.

Thinking about what she had planned to do, Xu Yue Ru started to blush. She was about to ask her mother to help her when she noticed that there was something wrong with her mother's expression.

Yan Ying gave her daughter a look over before she looked around the place.

Their surrounding was quiet. Other than the sound of the night insect and the joyful cheer coming from the direction of the banquet, there was nothing else that they could hear.
