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 319 Fierce Momentum

The weather was cold, and the world was not at peace, but New Year's celebrations had to go on.

Central Capital City had just experienced a heavy snowfall; the roads were wet and slippery, yet the streets bustled with activity.

Vendors crammed among the never-ending stream of people, restraining their cries.

Children on the street were just about to light firecrackers when their elders stopped them and dragged them away.

The Emperor had passed away, and with the absence of festivities, the puppet shows and lion dances that were common during the New Year had vanished, replaced by silent crowds moving like a flowing painting, casting shadow after shadow beneath the prosperity of Central Capital.

If one were to flip through the history books, they would find this to be the most complex and pivotal year in the history of Jin, affecting the fate of the entire dynasty.
