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.

The Slender Waist

Feng Yun saw Xiaoman's excitement and, with a slight smile, opened several small boxes.


Fabrics, jewelry, and some skin-nourishing creams.


Dong Bai said, "Her Highness the Empress Dowager mentioned that since the Princess has been taking care of His Majesty, she has long wanted to present the Princess with some gifts to express her gratitude, yet it has been delayed until now. Please don't be offended, Princess."


Feng Yun quickly bowed in the direction of Xijing.


"Many thanks for the favor of Her Highness. I am deeply grateful and pleasantly surprised by this imperial grace."


Although her words were charming, Dong Bai saw no genuine sign of pleasant surprise on her composed face and awkwardly chuckled twice.


"Then I shall take my leave now. If His Majesty awakens from his nap later and cannot find me, Female Historian Lin will blame me."


Upon mentioning Yuan Shangyi, Feng Yun's expression softened a bit.


"How has His Majesty been these past days?"
