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 ate with grace, chewing slowly and thoroughly, while Pei Jue neither ate nor moved, seated behind the desk like a wooden carving devoid of emotion, staring at her.


Even in this tranquility, Feng Yun felt extremely relaxed, and the weariness from chasing down the path from Huaxi seemed to dissipate.


"What is Your Majesty looking at me for?"


Pei Jue's throat moved, "You're beautiful."


She hadn't even had the time to bathe, dressed in the simplest and most unadorned tunic and petticoat, without a touch of makeup, a plain face to the sky, with a visage of tiredness and haggardness. What was there to be beautiful about?


She smiled, pushed the bowl away, and stood up.


Pei Jue looked up at her, "Where are you going?"


Feng Yun, "To change clothes... Let the maidservant attend to me."
