Shen Yuan deliberately questioned, sensing that the fingers on his wrist had begun to tremble. Only then did he speak seriously, “There are countless ladies in the capital who admire me, and even more gentlemen who envy me. If I feared rumors, how could I even leave the house?”
“Indeed, if I glance at someone, or exchange a few words with a lady, there will always be a few ignorant people wagging their tongues. But rumors are just rumors, they can’t be taken as truth.”
As he spoke, the bright sunlight pierced through the tree branches and green leaves, sprinkling into those tender, affectionate phoenix eyes.
The light flickered, but it couldn’t conceal his innate arrogance.
“Young Master Shen is correct.”
Su Jin’s eyes were sincere as she gently advised, “But while you are upright, the hearts of people in this world may not be as bright. Three people make a tiger, there have been countless such cases since ancient times. I only fear ruining your great marriage prospects.”
“Great marriage prospects?”
Shen Yuan pondered briefly, then understood who she was referring to. He lowered his eyes to think for a moment. When he looked up again, his brows and eyes, which had been cold just now, were as if a spring breeze had rippled across a lake surface, sparkling with light.
“If you fear ruining my marriage prospects, why are you still holding onto me now?”
The fingers on his wrist retracted swiftly at these words. Su Jin’s entire body froze in place. “I apologize.”
Her face burned hot, but she knew that when admitting fault, one’s gaze should remain firm.
In Shen Yuan’s eyes, she was awkwardly staring at him. Though she was clearly about to faint from embarrassment, she still forced herself to keep her back straight.
Those eyes beneath her dark brows were bright and shining. Yet the corners of her eyes were tinged with red, connecting with the blush on her cheekbones. No matter how one looked at her, she resembled a wronged kitten.
Shen Yuan laughed inwardly while maintaining an expressionless face.
“Forget it, I won’t make things difficult for you. Since you’re unwilling, I won’t force you.”
He shook his sleeve lightly and turned around. “A Liang, hurry up and follow.”
“Young Master, I saw that Miss Su was almost crying from embarrassment. You say, how can such a good lady be so easily embarrassed? There aren’t many like her even in all of Great Jin. What do you think the madam sees in Miss Su?”
Since leaving the wooden gate, A Liang had been chattering like a noisy sparrow under the eaves, muttering endlessly. Seeing that Shen Yuan didn’t respond, he gave up and after a while said, “Young Master, Young Master Liu has invited you to go on a spring outing tomorrow.”
“Mm.” Shen Yuan replied absent-mindedly.
A Liang paused and then said, “I also found out that the one who went to see Miss Su that day was the son of a concubine of Minister Song. I heard that Young Master Liu has invited him too.”
The ink-black phoenix eyes slightly raised, but he said nothing more.
A Liang asked cautiously, with utmost care, “Young Master, are we still going or not?”
The small servant waiting under the corridor had already lifted the beaded curtain. Shen Yuan had just stepped into the room when he suddenly turned back, looking at the bewildered A Liang with an unpredictable expression.
“Young Master?”
The phoenix eyes, bright as stars, revealed a hint of cunning. “I didn’t realize before, you little one actually have a brain.”
How did he not think of it? Besides making her blush, he could also make Su Jin cry!
That indescribable feeling in the depths of his heart seemed to have found an outlet. Shen Yuan’s brows relaxed, “Let’s go. Why miss out on the excitement?”

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.
