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 talk and selection regarding the next Crown Prince lasted for a long time.

As the Emperor never had the intention of choosing someone other than his eldest son, Qin Zhi Xuan as the Crown Prince, he found that it was really hard for him to make up his mind. The son who he had thought would be a good candidate as the next crown prince was not interested in that position.

The Emperor thought that it was such a shame. However, as Qin Zhi Hao had shown that he was not interested in that position, the Emperor could only respect his decision.

After all, he had promised Consort Xian that he would never push their son to do anything that he did not like.

Fortunately, their son, Qin Zhi Hao, had promised that he would continue to stay in Capital City and continue to assist him until he had chosen the person.
