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

This season, night falls early; no sooner had it gotten dark than the temperature was cold as ice drilling into one's bones.


Feng Yun was extremely cold-sensitive. Xiaoman took out the fur-lined overcoat made from fox pelts last year and draped it over her, feeling it was very timely and appropriate.


The collar of this overcoat was lined with fox fur personally hunted by Pei Jue himself. He was very familiar with it and, seeing Feng Yun wear it, his eyes narrowed slightly as he said:


"In a couple of days, I'll find some time to head to the mountain."


Feng Yun took out the silk from her sachet and handed it to Xiaoman, distractedly asking:


Pei Jue glanced at her, "See if I can hunt a couple of good pelts."


Feng Yun let out a light oh, her smile rippling through eyes and brows, warm and alluring, "Is this a congratulatory gift for my promotion to Chief Historian of the Royal Mansion? I thank you, Great King."
