On the day the city fell, Feng Yun was offered by her father as a prize to the enemy general. Everyone pitied her fate, believing she would become a captive and fall into a pit of despair.

Yet she tightly covered the small donkey cart she was to leave in, afraid that anyone might see her secret delight. As a child, she acted strangely and spoke shockingly, once foretelling a military disaster so accurately that she was almost burned as a demon by her clan.

Growing up, she was unparalleled in beauty, unmatched across the eight counties of Xuzhou, but was still rejected by her fiancé’s family. In an era of chaos and shattered customs, what path would a female captive take?

“I do not seek a man to grow old with, but rather to live this life as fiercely as I can.” In her past life, Feng Yun had always been wronged and exploited. This time, she vowed to strike first and use her cunning to manipulate those who had wronged her, from the most unattainable nobles to those hiding malicious hearts behind genteel facades.

In others’ eyes, Feng Yun was a mad beauty with a peculiar mind. In her own eyes, she knew everything; perhaps she was even the god of this world.

How they saw her: “She’s so bizarre and fascinating—I can’t help but like her!”

6/10 I really want to give this book a better rating, but every few chapters it kinda irked me. I didn’t like how the FL starts off all "I sell my brain, not my body, " but then whenever things go wrong, she ends up using her body to coax the ML? Like, I wouldn’t mind if she decided to seduce him from the start and be a temptress, but the back-and-forth is annoying. One minute it’s "I don’t need a man, I can use my brain" and then she’s... more>> still trying to seduce him to get her way. Also, the push and pull with her feelings just got irritating—girl, make up your mind. And with three characters being reborn, I didn’t feel the impact as much as I expected. There could've been more drama there. Finally, even though the end hinted at the ML knowing about his past life son through the painting, I wanted more closure. I just wish the leads had talked about it! <<less

I won't rate it becuz I am not doing it justice by leaving it halfway.

The translator did a decent job but I struggled with a few pages and links.

About the story, MC is a person who's reborn after suffering a miserable life being used and discarded by men around her. She's a beauty and after her father sacrificed her to the enemy general, reduced to a mere plaything for ML (atleast in her pov. MLs pov is not shown yet)

In this life she is prepares to not reduce herself... more>> to a plaything but use the knowledge of the future to pave a path for herself. And no she doesn't choose the c*astity route. She starts attracting all kinds of men with her wits and beauty (unintentionally not blatant seduction) but it's still not a reverse harem (at least till chapter 75.) She does use her knowledge to accumulate her own strength which currently is still vulnerable and very dependent on ML

ML on the other hand is the classic stoic face man of few words. Smart, calculative and decisive and a talented general. His thoughts are obscure and his feelings towards MC is pure lust or other factors is still unknown

One thing you should know is that it's a NSFW kinda novel because of the barely concealed insinuation to explicit stuff. One thing to know is that during turbulent times, c*astity or morality are barely existent. Also the details are not provided but if like me you'd prefer a normal read without tons of sensual stuff happening every few steps. Please stay away. <<less
