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 weather was still good during the festival.


The next day dawned with the rosy light of morning covering the sky, and there wasn't a cloud in sight for thousands of miles.


It was Feng Yun's first stay at the Pei Residence, and it wasn't convenient to be as lazy as she was at Huaxi. She had instructed Xiaoman the night before to wake her early so she could get ready and pay her respects to Pei Chong, Pei Jue's father.


In the past at the Feng Residence, there had been many rules, and there were stiff protocols for morning and evening greetings. Feng Yun had always followed them, but she had grown lazy as the lady of her own home at Huaxi and would avoid them if she could.


She was of the philosophy, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do," and tried to be considerate in all aspects.


Unexpectedly, on her very first morning greeting, Pei Chong gave her a generous gift.
