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 151 Acting for Heaven

Feng Yun first set her sights on the Liu household in the eastern part of the city.

Liu Yan's grandfather had served as a Military Governor, a prominent and influential family, crowded with wives and concubines, flourishing with descendants, reveling in abundance, occupying half of Yuqing Alley in the eastern city. Their three-story earthen building towered in Yuqing Alley and could be seen from afar.

Upon closer inspection, the iron-cast gates were towering and even taller than the government offices, with holes for shooting arrows in the wall, and a considerable number of servants and retainers. From the day the war started, the Liu family had closed off their doors to visitors and had been indifferent to external affairs.

Feng Yun sent someone with a visiting card and then, putting on men's clothing and struggling with herself as she tied up her chest, she visited as an official of the Great General in charge of the grain supply, bringing gifts with her.
