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 313: Return to Huaxi

After so long, Feng Yun returned to Huaxi Village, and at first glance, the village cloaked in snow felt somewhat unfamiliar.

Red lanterns hung from every family's doorway, with replaced peachwood charms signifying the New Year's spirit.

Those places where she had left with only rammed earth walls now had houses built up, snow covering the ridges of the fields, hiding any crops, while the sounds of chickens and dogs echoed from the sheds, smoke curled up from the kitchens, and a layer of solid ice covered the ponds.

A few children ran out from the thatched huts, their cheeks reddish from the cold wind. Seeing Feng Yun, they looked on curiously before exclaiming in surprise after a long pause.

"The Village Chief's Lady is back!"

Someone shouted out, and the news quickly spread.

Suddenly, the village burst into life.

This family opened their door, that family peered out, and soon everyone hurriedly came out, warmly greeting and following the carriage into the estate.
