“Rest assured, Madam Li.” Hu Youning understood her meaning.
There was gradually movement in the main room. Zhou Fulang walked out with a smile and invited Li Ruantang to go inside and sit.
As soon as he entered the kitchen, Zhou Fulang noticed his son’s unusual behavior. He reached out and patted Hu Youning’s shoulder, “Ning’er?”
“Father?” Hu Youning came back to his senses and quickly asked, “Is Mother up?”
“Mm.” Zhou Fulang scooped the cooked noodles into a bowl. He glanced a few more times at his son who was focused on washing vegetables, “Ning’er, tell Father, are you—”
Hu Youning’s hand trembled, “Father, what do you want to say?”
Zhou Fulang sighed, “Were you frightened by what happened yesterday?”
“Don’t be afraid. Yesterday, your mother already spoke with Madam Li, asking her to arrange a good marriage for you when she returns to the capital.”
“Then…” Hu Youning frowned, “What did she say?”
Zhou Fulang smiled, “Madam Li is kind-hearted. She said you and Young Master Li are friends, so she will take care of this matter.”
“Is that so.”
“Yes. As long as it doesn’t rain in the next few days, leaving Changshan Ravine shouldn’t be a problem.” Zhou Fulang’s eyes were filled with relief, “Once we leave Hu Family Village, you won’t have to hide from Fu Lanxian anymore. Your mother and I won’t have to worry either.”
“Madam Li is truly a benefactor to our Hu family.”
“Father.” Hu Youning bit his lip, “Yesterday, the river in the mountains was turbulent. I’m afraid—”
“Shush, don’t say such inauspicious things.” Zhou Fulang shook his head, “Today, your mother will accompany Madam Li to take a look at Changshan Ravine. They’ll probably return to the capital in the next two days.”
As soon as the hot noodle soup was placed on the table, Hu Sanniang’s face bloomed with joy.
Zhou Fulang also packed a few steamed buns and side dishes for the two of them. When they left, the young husband was still sleeping soundly, curled up in the quilt.
Li Ruantang glanced at the tightly closed doors and windows, her eyes immediately softening.
Hu Sanniang was an experienced woman. How could she not understand Li Ruantang’s feelings? On the way, she imparted all the tricks she used back then to pursue Zhou Fulang.
“But,” Li Ruantang thought of how the young husband didn’t want her to see him wearing the flower crown last night and pursed her lips, “my husband doesn’t seem to like flower crowns very much.”
“How is that possible? Everyone loves beautiful things.” Hu Sanniang scratched her head in confusion, “I even saw Ning’er finding a bronze mirror for Young Master Li yesterday.”
Li Ruantang let out a soft sigh. She had indeed seen the bronze mirror.
Hu Sanniang pondered for a moment and lowered her voice, “Then, when Madam Li gave the flower crown to Young Master Li yesterday, what did he do?”
“He put the flower crown back in the room.”
“…” Hu Sanniang’s eye twitched, feeling like something was missing, “What about before that?”
“Before that?” Li Ruantang frowned, “I admitted my mistake.”
“Wait, Madam Li, are you saying that you only gave Young Master Li the flower crown?” Seeing her nod, Hu Sanniang sighed with understanding, “Madam Li, generally speaking, when giving a flower crown to your husband, you should help him put it on for it to be considered official.”
“Need to put it on too?” Li Ruantang’s steps paused slightly. Thinking of the young husband’s silence yesterday, could it be that he was waiting for this?
“Indeed.” Hu Sanniang nodded, somewhat exasperated. As they talked, they were approaching the boundary of Changshan Ravine.
“Madam Li, you must follow closely later. The mountain was blasted several times years ago. Some places only look solid, but if you’re not careful, you might fall into a stone crevice hidden by the grass.”
She handed over a long tree branch, “Use this as a walking stick.”
Li Ruantang didn’t refuse and followed behind Hu Sanniang, stepping into Changshan Ravine with uneven steps. But in her heart, she was still thinking about the flower crown placed on her pillow last night.
So it was meant to be worn.
Lost in thought, the young husband sleeping in the quilt gradually furrowed his brows.
He dreamed of the day he fell off the cliff again, but this time the dream was very strange.
He became a spectator squeezed outside the crowd. Besides watching helplessly as the bull charged towards the cliff, he couldn’t even make a sound.
However, without him, with Li Ruantang’s skills, she should be able to avoid it. The young husband was just relieved when in the next instant, he clearly saw Sister Wei, who was usually gentle, take advantage of the chaos and push Li Ruantang.
Her movements were fast and ruthless, shocking Meng Jun. He wanted to rush over and demand an explanation but was firmly blocked by the crowd.
He was anxious and flustered, but his mouth and nose seemed to be stuffed with cotton, unable to make a sound.
“Mmm mmm mmm.”

If you’re like me…
Too tired of reading stories where the female lead is often foolish, weak, feeble both physically and mentally, usually in a subservient and oppressed role in society such as a maid, secretary, concubine… or to put it bluntly, typically the one who has to serve and please the male lead, always needing protection and rescue from male leads, while the male lead is often described as talented, strikingly handsome, powerful,…
Then please continue reading.
Hi there, girls!
I’m Yuushi L.
Every day, movies and comics continuously reinforce the notion that women are weak, that they can only handle trivial matters in the background, that women are petty-minded and constantly jealous, mocking, and laughing at other women, while men are strong, wealthy, and solely focused on conquering the world, with countless mindless women ready to fall into their arms.
Believe me, once you read Female-dominant (FEDO) novels, your mindset will change significantly.
I am deeply inspired by strong, independent, and rational women who have the power to take control of their lives, and I am fascinated by the way society’s gender roles are reversed in this genre compared to real life.
So I have created this web with the noble purpose of promoting the “Female-dominant (FEDO)” genre of novels.
In my country, there was a rare renowned female poet in ancient times who wrote the following about the fate of women in that era:
“Damn this life of sharing a husband,
One wrapped in warmth, the other left cold.
I’d rather have stayed single from the start,
Than to endure a life so torn apart.”
Perhaps my penchant for reading female-dominant stories is partly a way of rebelling against the realities of life.
On my site, there will be stories that are not only female-dominant novels, as long as they align with my taste, featuring strong female protagonists and fresh, captivating storylines. Usually, they will be modern or fantasy novels.
I rarely read ancient novels that aren’t female-dominant because they often contain details that easily trigger me. These include the portrayal of men having multiple wives and concubines, which was considered utterly normal in ancient society, and the frequent disdain towards women.
I cannot change the world, as the societal structure that discriminates against women and elevates men has existed for thousands of years. Changing it to truly give women an equal role in society is not something that can happen overnight. If you want gender equality now, it’s laughable. It will never happen when over 90% of national and business leaders are men.
But I can start by changing the mindset of women, sisters, and young girls. Don’t just read dull slogans urging women to be strong and independent; it’s hard to imagine. Read Female-dominant (FEDO) novels to see clearly what true female empowerment looks like.
I believe there will be more and more independent and strong women who prioritize their careers and personal stability over seeking a man to rely on.
In the future, there will be more successful female entrepreneurs, politicians, and thought leaders.
As for me, I will start by making this website grow stronger day by day.
I especially like the concept of “the male lead falls in love first, the female lead is the cold-hearted and rational one, and the male lead suffers because the female lead doesn’t reciprocate his feelings.”
Therefore, you’ll see that most of the novels on my website will belong to this trope. Of course, there will be exceptions.
In the future, I also plan to write my own novels following this concept, where the female lead in my stories will never be the weaker party. I hope I can do it soon.
The novels I highly recommend will be listed under the category:
There will be exceptionally brilliant stories, but there will also be mediocre ones. As the Female-dominant (FEDO) genre has fewer authors and readers, the number of high-quality novels is limited.
Therefore, I want to promote this genre to reach a wider audience, which will encourage more talented authors to choose to write in this style, leading to the birth of more outstanding Female-dominant (FEDO) novels.
The Chinese versions of the novels I use for translation are all sourced from various websites on the internet. You know, I don’t have much budget to purchase so many novels.
Therefore, if your financial situation allows, please support the authors by purchasing the original works. You can find the original works using the Chinese titles of the novels.

WARNING:
In some novels, there are certain unhealthy ideologies and illegal actions held by the main characters (for example, treating human lives as worthless, or casually deciding to kill someone, forcing others to do things they don’t want to do, arbitrarily imprisoning others, plotting to harm others, using violence to retaliate against violence,…).
This may be because the authors are still young and inexperienced, unaware that what they’re writing goes beyond moral standards and can negatively influence young readers.
It’s important that readers under 18 years old need to recognize these are illegal actions, not permitted to be carried out in real life, always keep a clear head while reading, treat these works only as entertainment, and don’t let yourself be influenced by those plot points.
