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.

Personal attendants differ from the other members of the Imperial Cavalry Division; they are usually domestic slaves from the master's residence, extraordinarily loyal to their master.

Feng Yun glanced at him.

"And why have you come to me?" she asked.

With a bow, Pang Gui spoke in a low voice, his head lowered,
