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.

Back then, he was filled with resentment.

At his most bitter moments, he wished he could kill mother and son.

But in the end, he could not bring himself to do it.

The child called him "Father Emperor," respected him, feared him, and even tried to draw close to him. Even knowing that the boy was hers and Pei Jue's, he could not bring himself to lay a hand on him.

He neglected her, neglected Xiao Qu, and allowed Lady Chen and Madam Feng Ying and daughter to plot in secret, embarrassing the mother and son...
