Chapter 8
Hearing the sound of high heels gradually approaching from behind, Xie Zhi instantly understood what Tang Xuan was doing.
Does he look like a suitable stepping stone to be trampled on?
He’s not even afraid of actually spraining his ankle.
Xie Zhi controlled his slightly unsteady footsteps and approached Tang Xuan. Slightly leaning over, he looked down at Tang Xuan who was still lying on the ground and not getting up, his deep dark eyes too calm, making one feel only indifference: “Sorry, is your foot injured?” Yet his tone was gentle and amiable.
Tang Xuan’s face turned slightly pale.
The push Xie Zhi gave him used almost no force. Anyone who was wronged would instinctively retort, but who would have thought that Xie Zhi would react so quickly, and even put on an attitude of wanting to play along with him.
Tang Xuan bit his lip. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that Fang Xianxing was only a few steps away from coming over. He lowered his head, his reddened eyes tightly hugging his ankle.
He had no choice.
If he said he was fine and not injured, Xie Zhi would definitely gloss over the matter of pushing him just now in front of Fang Xianxing, taking advantage of his drunkenness to attract all of Fang Xianxing’s attention.
He already apologized, what more do you want from him?
He’s drunk, it wasn’t on purpose, forgive him.
On the contrary, he’s too drunk, she should send him back early to sober up.
If that were really the case, not only would his fall be in vain, it would also give Xie Zhi an excuse to make a drunken scene and stay by Fang Xianxing’s side tonight.
He doesn’t want to always be the one assisting.
Tang Xuan tightly hugged his ankle, secretly pinching it a few times with his hand, making that delicate skin reveal patches of deep red.
“Are you hurt? Is it serious?”
Fang Xianxing walked over. Just as she was about to pass Xie Zhi, Xie Zhi grabbed her hand, forcibly interrupting her steps towards Tang Xuan.
Fang Xianxing was a bit surprised and looked down at their clasped hands.
Xie Zhi’s hands were beautiful, with distinct joints and slender, like the nodes of a lucky bamboo.
Xie Zhi pulled Fang Xianxing back a little, while he himself stepped forward, his dark eyes staring straight at Tang Xuan, speaking before Tang Xuan could answer Fang Xianxing: “It’s my fault, I drank a bit too much, feeling dizzy and lightheaded, not knowing my own strength. Are you okay?”
Tang Xuan’s eyes swept over their joined hands, secretly gritting his back molars.
Xie Zhi’s words made Fang Xianxing come back to her senses from his inexplicable initiative. Seeing his coldly pale profile, fine sweat oozing from his temples, she felt even more that Xie Zhi was courting death, drinking so much liquor on an empty stomach. If he was only drunk that would be fine, but she was afraid of acute gastritis, alcohol poisoning and the like.
Fang Xianxing tightened her grip: “Can you still stand steady? I’ll send you to the car first to wait, Tang Xuan is injured, I’ll deal with it and come right back.”
Xie Zhi looked back at her, his clear and dark but obviously dissatisfied eyes staring at Fang Xianxing.
Fang Xianxing was confused by his gaze.
Did she say something wrong?
Wrong. Xie Zhi has always lacked enthusiasm and doesn’t like to interact with people. He doesn’t look low-key, so when he was in school, there were always people who would lay hands on him under various pretexts, saying he was unsociable and a weirdo.
He always fought back. Those who wanted to take advantage of him, he would make them suffer.
Now, he is teaching Tang Xuan a lesson, but Fang Xianxing wants him to leave, and plans to “pity” Tang Xuan’s injury alone after dispatching him, letting Tang Xuan get what he wants.
Isn’t this dismantling his stage?
He won’t go. Since Tang Xuan dares to scheme against him, he must watch him reap what he sows.
In fact, Fang Xianxing’s words not only made Xie Zhi dissatisfied, but also the pitifully fragile Tang Xuan lying on the ground.
His foot is injured and he’s still lying on the ground, yet Fang Xianxing is concerned about whether Xie Zhi can stand steadily?
Biased.
Lying on the ground all the time looks bad. Although it’s late and there aren’t many people, there are always one or two passersby who look at them strangely while walking their own way.
After all, Tang Xuan lives under the lens and doesn’t want to cause this kind of onlooking or leave this kind of awkward black history. So he laboriously supported himself up using the stone pillar at the main entrance.
“Ah–”
Just as he was about to stand up, he lost his balance on one foot. Giving a startled cry, he tightly hugged the stone pillar with both hands to steady himself.
Xie Zhi and Fang Xianxing both looked over at the sound.
Facing Fang Xianxing who looked over, Tang Xuan revealed a forced smile, his light-colored eyes like a handful of water.
Fang Xianxing felt a little guilty when she saw it.

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.
