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 Noble Consort personally came to greet him, and after the court officials had paid their respects to the Emperor, it was time to honor the Empress Dowager as well.


Feng Yun uttered a sound and, with the support of her maid, bent down to exit the carriage—


Feng Yun glanced at him and silently placed her hand in his palm.


Almost instantly, she felt countless eyes around her, all fixed on her and Pei Jue...


Side by side, they walked forward, joining everyone in offering salutations to the Noble Consort.


The Noble Consort beamed at the well-matched pair before slowly scanning the surroundings.


"My lords, dispense with the formalities. His Majesty has traveled a long way by carriage and boat and must be tired. We can forgo any dispensable ceremonies. You may all return to rest, and tomorrow I will host a banquet to welcome His Majesty and cleanse away the dust of travel."


All the courtiers responded in agreement.
