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

Xu Yong deliberately spoke in veiled terms, but Empress Dowager understood.


However, she was inherently timid. She wasn't favored in her family and didn't win the Emperor of Xifeng's affection upon entering the palace. Later, with Yuan Shangyi, she was repeatedly suppressed by Li Sangruo. She had grown accustomed to being subservient, swallowing her grievances and staying silent. Usually, she had no mind of her own and wanted to escape whenever trouble came.


"Let them be, there's nothing I can manage..."


Xu Yong bowed his head even lower, "Empress Dowager..."


His shrill voice carried a sense of urgency, "If you don't think for yourself, you should at least think of His Majesty."


Empress Dowager raised her eyes to look at him.


Xu Yong said, "His Majesty is naive. What if, one day on a whim, he wants to choose another mother? What should Your Highness do then?"


The whole world knew she was not the Emperor's biological mother.
