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 family of four gathered in Consort Xian's quarters to have a meal together.

Because of Yu Feng's pregnancy, Consort Xian had prepared a lot of dishes that would be suitable for a pregnant mother.

Because she lived in the palace, it was not easy for Consort Xian to go out and meet her son and daughter-in-law. Now that the two of them had entered the palace, Consort Xian was not going to let them leave before they spend their time with her.

The Emperor glanced at the food that Consort Xian had prepared and noticed that most of them were dishes that a pregnant woman would often eat.

Her brow rose as he found that this scene was a little strange.

It was a while ago that his son and Yu Feng had come to his palace to announce her pregnancy. When did Consort Xian have the time to prepare these dishes?

As time passed by, the Emperor began to believe that his suspicion might be true.
