The Slender Waist

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.

Chapter 63 The Beauty Under the Lamp

The lights weren't very bright, casting a blurred glow on the young woman's face.

There was truth to the saying "Beauty under the light," the more you look, the more your heart flutters—likely as such.

When Pei Jue spoke again, his throat seemed a bit tight.

"Send her back to Central Capital. Or, just kill her."

His tone was calm, as if killing a chicken was no different.

Feng Yun understood that Pei Jue could indeed make Wei Zheng disappear without a trace, but no matter how Wei Zheng died, as long as it was in Huaxi Village, in Andu County, Pei Jue would be suspected of murdering an important official of the Imperial Court and would be severely criticized.

Sometimes, reputation matters more than life itself.

Pei Jue might not care, but Feng Yun, currently tied to his strings like a grasshopper, preferred that the string be strong, capable of hanging on for longer without breaking midway.
