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

Puyang Zong braced himself and came out to greet Pei Jue with a bow.


"How goes your teaching at the Commandery Prince's estate?"


That was the slowest day Puyang Zong had ever lived through, but in front of Pei Jue, he dare not voice any grievances or complaints. His cheeks stiffened into a smile as he repeatedly bowed his hands in submission.


"It's tolerable, tolerable. The children are eager to learn, and the scholars take meticulous care. Amidst the green hills and clear waters, studying and advancing one's knowledge with the good fields and mulberry bamboo for company is incomparably delightful..."


Pei Jue seemed not to notice his insincerity in the slightest, and said indifferently, "I had intended to petition the Grand Princess on behalf of the Commandery Prince. Since that's the case, you should stay put and focus on your teaching with peace of mind."
