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's heart was slightly startled.


His gaze slowly fell upon the edge of Pei Jue's robe sleeve, watching him steadily pouring wine, his face expressionless, then he smiled and turned his attention back, nodding his head to Hou Zhun in a warm and respectful manner.


"I'm truly flattered by General Hou's high regard. I am unworthy of it and dare not boast. In the future, I will still need to count on General Hou for guidance," he said.


Hou Zhun was a hearty man, who smiled as he clasped his hands together in greeting.


"No single person can flatten the grass; together, we can carve a path to Yumenguan. From now on, Hou will advance and retreat together with the Princess," he affirmed.


Feng Yun responded with a bow, "With General Hou and all the officers' unwavering support, I dare not fail your expectations."


The two exchanged courtesies, each taking the measure of the other with their eyes.
