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

The wind at night was not as searing as it had been during the day, gently brushing past, bringing a trace of coolness, just like Ao Qi's unceasing murmurs.


"Thankfully, I had everyone leave," Feng Yun thought.


If Ao Qi had said all this in front of so many people, it would probably have been difficult to settle things down.


"Xiaoqi, lift your head and look at me..."


Ao Qi raised his head, tears swirling in his eyes.


Feng Yun smiled slightly, her eyes that had seen two lifetimes' worth of vicissitudes as if they could understand everything in the world. What they conveyed was not the anger of being offended, nor the shyness of a woman being confessed to by a man, but rather the calmness forged by years and storms, and the wisdom and comprehension that only a mature woman possessed.


After a long silence, when Ao Qi had stopped crying, she bent down and handed him a handkerchief.
