She paused for a moment, hesitating briefly before saying, “Three days ago, Hong Zhu sent a message by carrier pigeon to the Feicui Building. The Second Prince visited the Prince of Zhennan’s residence and caused a commotion in the study. The Prince of Zhennan personally told him that the person he admired was the most beautiful in the world. Therefore, Hong Lian speculates that the Prince of Zhennan should be fond of you, Your Highness. Now that the Second Prince has received this news, he will certainly take further action. Your Highness must be cautious here.”
The curve of Pei Yuanshao’s lips deepened, his gaze fixed on the reeds not far away. He sneered, “Fond of me? If that were the case, it would be quite interesting. If the elder sister fancies the younger brother, how could the people of the world tolerate such a scandalous history of imperial incest?”
Pei Yuanshao’s smile grew wider, but his eyes were like they had been poisoned. With his hands behind his back, he muttered to himself, “Poor Imperial Mother, on her deathbed, exerted all her efforts to pave the way for her illegitimate child who had been cast out, willingly sacrificing my sister and me. If she knew that the successor she admired actually fancied her own younger brother, wouldn’t it be amusing? Unfortunately, even though Your Highness is stunningly beautiful, you can’t compare to that other person. The most beautiful person in the world is not only the long-reigning Emperor Pei Yuanshao.”
“Who is that person?” Hong Lian knelt on the ground, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes as she asked softly.
However, the black-clad man under the moonlight did not provide an explanation. His peach blossom eyes revealed little outward emotion.
He laughed inscrutably at the moon in a low voice, “I didn’t expect Jing Huan to have met that person so early! It’s a pity that I went to great lengths to find the wrong person, hah!”
…
Liu Changning got out of bed before dawn the next day.
She had always had the good habit of going to bed early and rising early. Even in the present world, she followed a standard schedule.
After washing up and getting dressed, she felt much more refreshed. Although a night of meditation didn’t show much change in her appearance, at least her spirit had improved significantly, and her senses were sharp.
Carrying a bamboo basket on her back and holding a sickle in her hand, she was ready to go up the mountain. Just before leaving, she glanced at the tightly closed door on the other side. The even breathing of her cheap husband could be heard through the non-soundproof wooden door.
Liu Changning’s eyes darkened slightly. Judging by the time of day, she thought to herself that this man indeed slept late and woke up late. It was fortunate that he had married her as a husband. If it were any other woman, she would have divorced him.
However, although this person had a pile of shortcomings and even went out at night to have secret meetings with others until late, it didn’t have much to do with her after all.
Keeping him around as a family housekeeper was quite suitable. Although it would take some time to train and teach him, it was the same principle as teaching an apprentice. There would eventually come a day when the apprentice would serve the master.
Thinking this way, Liu Changning gently closed the courtyard gate, carrying the bamboo basket.
In midsummer, few villagers went up the mountain. The weather was hot, and with the autumn harvest approaching, the farmhands were too busy to spare time.
Occasionally, a few hunters encountered Liu Changning. They just nodded their heads and then darted into the deep mountains.
The mountain was shaded, with towering trees blocking the sky. Even when the sun was high, it didn’t feel hot.
When Liu Changning went down the mountain to train in her first life, she had traversed many mountains and was familiar with the growing habits of medicinal herbs.
To improve the cold constitution and remove impurities from the body, she actually had many prescriptions. However, this place was, after all, the mortal realm, unlike the fairy realm, and many immortal herbs were not available.
In her second life as a white-collar worker, she had personally concocted a formula. Although it couldn’t aid in cultivation, it could strengthen the body and eliminate the cold constitution.
The prescription for this medicinal bath required: Evodia fruit, mulberry leaves, Sophora flavescens, Dictamnus dasycarpus, Drynaria fortunei, Ganoderma lucidum, Cynanchum wilfordii, and pine branches.
With this prescription, coupled with daily morning and evening Qi cultivation, the toxins in the body should be expelled within a year or so.
Except for Ganoderma lucidum, the other medicinal herbs were common Chinese medicines, and it wasn’t difficult for Liu Changning to find them.
Walking and stopping along the way, the original body couldn’t withstand the trek in the mountains, so Liu Changning’s search was much slower.

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.
