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 woke from her sleep with regret.


She shouldn't have let her guard down and made a rash promise to Pei Jue to spend the New Year in Xijing.


There were too many things to handle in Andu, and she simply couldn't free herself on such short notice.


But she was a woman of her word, and even though the promise was made in a moment of pleasure, it didn't seem right to go back on it immediately.


Also, she truly did wish to visit the ancient capital of Xijing. Thus, she summoned Alou, Xing Bing, Sister Xu, the village's Wa Chang, and others. She also sent for the foremen from the mines and workshops in Little Jieqiu and notified Hou Zhun along the way.


For the entire day, she sat in the parlor, meeting with one group after another to delegate her affairs for the time she would be away.


The tortoise hatchling seemed to sense something and refused to leave her side, sprawling at her feet as if it wished it could wrap itself around her legs.
