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 17: Even Thieves Have Their Code

```

The Wang Dian of the eastern city's great slope was a wealthy household that could be counted on in Andu County.

On the day the Beiyong Army entered the city, Wang Dian was scared witless and did not hesitate to present his tributes. Grain, cloth, land, and jewels, he pulled together a full ten or more carts, which showed his sincerity.

Since Jin Country had taken over the Yellow River basin, unlike Qi Country, which relied on the powerful clans, it still granted some privileges and favorable treatment to the large clan families.

This was the way for a wealthy household to survive. Having paid tribute and assured the safety of his family members, only then did Wang Dian somewhat ease his mind.
