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 study was warmed by an underground heating system.


Feng Yun asked with concern, "My lady, do you find it too warm?"


Lady Tu held a book on "Essential Techniques of Agriculture" in her left hand and "Summary of Refinement" in her right, her hands trembling with excitement.


"Are all these left behind by Ayun's mother?"


Seeing her unusual reaction, Feng Yun nodded with puzzlement.


"Does my lady have any instructions for me?"


Lady Tu gazed at her with dusky eyes and suddenly put down the books, grasping Feng Yun's hands excitedly,


"No wonder I felt a connection from our very first meeting, no wonder you felt so familiar..."


She murmured to herself, as though her words weren't clear enough, then suddenly turned and went out, calling for her attendant maidservant.


"Tell the Castle Master to send someone back to Wubao quickly, to fetch the cherished notes from my study. Be quick!"
