The Rise of Phoenixes

Dynasties rise and dynasties fall, like the tide washing the sand. On one side, he suffers from intrigue and hides his great ambition; on the other, the mysterious girl hides her anger behind her gentle smile. Who toppled the country, establishing their dynasty? Who built the Yellow Springs and set it over Imperial Power, inciting strife and conquering the earth? Who exchanged gazes at the Nine Palaces to the sound of halberd and blood, watching the falling flowers of Acacia? Who drank the poisoned wine and smiled, trading it for a cinnabar dot to the chest? Tribulation and strife has destroyed past prosperity; he would not retreat, and she has not finished singing. .... Is she disturbing the earth world, or is the world disturbing her? This is a seemingly simple story about an era of recovering the old country and the fight for the throne, and the men and women on both sides. To conquer or resist; To push away or fight for chance. To provoke or to still; To love, or to refuse love.

Chapter 213

It was the first time she had received a thoughtful gift in all of her sixteen years and she wanted to savor the moment just a little longer.

After an hour of staring and daydreaming, she finally reached out, lazing unhooking the clasp.

She dipped the tip of her finger is the ornamental hook and gently flicked… but the clasp refused to budge.

She shifted her hand, gripping the clasp now, budging it this way and that, twisting it her and there, gently shifting it back and forth… but she just could not click it open.

Feng Zhiwei sat up straight, picking up the box and bringing it to her. As she leaned in and carefully examined the gift, her mouth began twitching.

The clasp was a simple ornamental piece, completely unfunctioning! She'd been fooled!

Feng Zhiwei held the box, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. As she thought about how rare it was for Ning Yi to be in the mood to joke and prank, a quiet, warm smile filled Feng Zhiwei's eyes.
