Si Jin

The day the city fell, Feng Yun was treated by her father as a spoil of war and presented to the enemy general.
Everyone pitied her, soon to be a captive, plunging into a fiery pit.
Yet she veiled the little donkey cart that took her out of the city tightly, daring not to let anyone see the secret delight in her heart…
As a child, she behaved oddly and spoke startling words, once predicting a war in which the whole army was wiped out, nearly being burned to death by her clan as a demon.
When she grew up, her beauty was out of the world, but she was rejected by her husband's family.
In the period of chaos and disorder everywhewe, where could a female captive go?
"I do not seek a devoted partner to grow old with; I merely wish to rule unrivaled in this life."
In her previous life, Feng Yun was always the one being scorned by others; in this life, she decided to strike first, turning the tables on each and every one of them, those so-called unreachable flowers and beasts in gentleman's clothing, those degenerates… all to be scorned in return.

From the parapet, one glance would take in the water of the moat, which was quite wide, about two zhang away from the city wall—a distance precisely calculated. If too narrow, it wouldn't protect the wall; if too wide, it would create a large gap between the inner edge of the moat and the base of the wall, providing easy access for the enemy's large siege engines. Thus, the design of Bingzhou City's defenses was actually quite flawless.


Choosing Bingzhou, others said he was crawling into a jar, taking a step that led to a dead end...


Was this truly not a deliberate choice on his part?
