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.

Daytime sunlight couldn't linger into the evening, and as dusk fell, the weather turned abruptly. In the Beiyong Army camp, the cold wind was bitingly sharp, cold as chunks of ice. The banners on the barracks flapped loudly in the wind, and the felt doors designed to block the drafts reflected a chilling light.

It was cold, so very cold.

Under the pitch-black sky, several patrolling guards had just come off their shift and were hunched over, blowing on their hands.

"This cursed weather, if only we had some liquor to warm up our bodies," one said.

"We're not fighting anymore; you can drink all you want once you get home for the New Year. Just hang in there a few more days," another responded.
