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 68: Concocting a Crime_2

Feng Yun did not struggle, nor did she find his words grating, her numb heart long ceased to feel any pain. She faintly smiled, extending an arm to resist the pressure coming from his chest, her face barely concealing her mockery.

"So, General, you have decided all this is my doing? To seek justice for your concubine, for the Empress Dowager?"

Pei Jue did not speak, staring into her eyes. In the dark depth of his eyes was an indescribable chill, as though in the next second he would flay her skin to reveal the color of her heart and whether it bore the words "chief culprit."

Feng Yun's mouth corners tilted slightly upward.

Her scornful cold laughter was well disguised by her stubborn temper.

What revealed itself was frivolity, seduction, and a reckless madness.

"Then tell me, General, how do you plan to punish me?"
