Chapter 10. Just one kiss to get her? Why not two…
“This taste is truly amazing. I’ve never had such authentic radish soup anywhere else!”
Gu Sui exclaimed, his clear voice interrupting Mu Jiulu’s thoughts.
Gu Sui quickly started eating the other dishes, his movements a bit hurried but not abrupt, inadvertently adding a touch of his unique youthfulness.
She had seen him in formal attire, elegant and proper when receiving guests.
She had also seen him right after waking up, insisting on fighting her for a fried egg with a casual demeanor.
He was always restrained in public. It was only after getting along for a long time that she got to see his true self behind the scenes.
“Slow down. No one is fighting with you for it. A dignified young master of the Gu family, look at your manners.”
Mu Jiulu spoke. Gu Sui, who almost choked, chewed a few more times before swallowing and speaking.
“That’s because I’m too hungry. Let me tell you, the food in the palace is really not fit for humans. I can’t even take dishes for myself. Sigh…”
Gu Sui complained. Mu Jiulu snorted with a laugh.
“I’ve eaten it for twenty years.”
Gu Sui: “……”
“I didn’t mean to say you’re not human. Uh, let me rephrase what I just said. The food in the Yongning Palace is not fit for humans. How’s that?”
The young man scratched his head, his cute and flustered appearance as he hastily corrected his words was simply adorable.
But Mu Jiulu only glanced at him before quickly averting her gaze.
She couldn’t praise him. It would inflate his ego.
Gu Sui quickly filled his stomach and sighed, saying that this restaurant not only had accurate information but also nailed the taste.
Mu Jiulu, who had been quiet the whole time, finally spoke again.
“Done eating?”
“Mm-hmm.”
The Prince Regent looked at him with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, her eyes filled with mischief.
“Didn’t you say you were going to treat me to a meal to repay the life-saving favor? How come in the end, you ate everything?”
Gu Sui: “……”
Looking at the empty plates and bowls on the table, he felt a bit aggrieved.
He had told her to eat more several times!
But she kept drinking soup, so whose fault was that?
He was starving and couldn’t stop once he started eating. He didn’t expect to end up eating so much.
“I did want to eat, but you didn’t give me a chance.”
He didn’t even know to actively put food in her bowl. So clueless!
The Prince Regent silently complained in her heart. On the other side, Gu Sui said with a pained expression.
“Then what should we do? Should we order another portion?”
Another thousand taels!
Would his mother scold him for being a spendthrift when he got back?
Seeing the vivid changes in Gu Sui’s expression, Mu Jiulu suppressed the impulse in her heart and evened out the fluctuations in her tone.
“No need. I have many official duties and need to return to the yamen soon. Consider this life-saving favor owed for now.”
Wait until there’s a time for you to repay it.
Gu Sui was both relieved and reluctant to have saved over a thousand taels.
“You’re leaving already?”
The noble and aloof Prince Regent nodded.
Gu Sui: “Then when are we going to complete the last step of the marriage process?”
Mu Jiulu raised her eyebrows. “I told you, when my body recovers.”
Gu Sui felt suffocated. “You look quite well to me. Weren’t you able to save me just now? How come you can’t fight a match now?”
Mu Jiulu said with justification, “That Poisonous Wolf was just an assassin with mediocre strength. How can he compare to you, General Gu, the Wolf Slayer? I naturally need to recuperate for a while.”
Gu Sui: You don’t need to recuperate! You’re really overestimating me!
He shouted in his mind, but his open mouth had no choice but to close.
He couldn’t directly say that he was so weak now that he couldn’t even defeat a Poisonous Wolf assassin with mediocre strength.
She had no memories now and was only the Prince Regent. If she felt something was off and mistook him for a monster, what if she killed him?
As Gu Sui entertained wild thoughts, he ran his fingers through his hair, a hint of restlessness rising between his exquisite brows.
“Then when exactly will you recover? Give me a precise time.”
Mu Jiulu: “That depends on my mood.”
Gu Sui gritted his teeth and said with a straight face.
“That person in the palace still has his eye on me. If you drag it out for too long…”
Mu Jiulu gazed at him with a smile, unhurried.
“If you want to call me Ninth Aunt, I’ll be waiting for you to pay respects with tea.”
Hah, I’ll toss the tea cup for you!
Gu Sui was completely defeated. He flopped onto the table in frustration, thinking that his amnesiac ex-girlfriend was too hard to handle.
It would be better to have Mu Jiulu back with all her memories!
Even if he had to face the cremation ground of their breakup from a year ago, it would be better than her being invulnerable now.
Ah, so difficult!
However, giving up easily wasn’t in his nature.

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.
