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

"Ayuan," Feng Yun held the child in front of her and patted him, "Go back now, there will be plenty of time in the future."


The child rested his head against her and foolishly sniffed, taking in the scent of her body—


Sweet and soft, he was sure, this was the scent of his mother.


"If you were my mother, it would be great, if you were my mother, then I could see you every day..."


Feng Yun furrowed her brows, aware that such words were inappropriate, and gently rubbed his back.


"Ayuan must not talk nonsense; such words, if overheard, will bring trouble."


She feared being too stern, lest it displease the child and so she smiled again:


"There are many who love Ayuan, the Empress Dowager is kind and benevolent, she raised the Emperor herself, she is the person who cares about the Emperor the most in this world..."
