Chapter 21: I’m afraid it can’t be kept. When did the illness start? What kind of illness was it?…
Meng Huan really didn’t want to communicate with this slow-reacting person, but he still needed the other party now, so he had to patiently ask, “Wen Xi, you should be able to go out now, right?”
The latter nodded, “Yes, I can.”
“Then please do me a favor and go out to buy some abortion medicine.”
As he spoke, he walked to the dressing table and rummaged through the drawers, taking out hairpins, forehead bands, jade pendants and other items, holding a large handful of them in front of Wen Xi, “Help me, these are all for you.”
He had no gold or silver on him, but he thought these ornaments should be worth quite a bit of money and should be enough to motivate a servant to do something.
However, after hearing his request, Wen Xi didn’t even dare to look at the handful of ornaments and knelt on the ground without a second word.
“Young master, don’t think too much!” In his perception, being able to conceive the mistress’s child was simply a stroke of great luck, and any sane person would look forward to the birth of the child. The young master must have been desperate to not want it.
“Young master, if you have any grievances, just say it out. Don’t be angry with the child…”
“Child, child, that’s all you have in your mouth besides this. It’s just a lump of flesh now… What am I telling you this for? Just tell me if you can help me or not.”
Meng Huan threw the ornaments on the table and pulled Wen Xi up by the arm.
Then he said, “If you can’t do me this favor, then go back to where you came from. I never needed a servant here anyway.”
“Young master…” Wen Xi squeezed out a few tears. He had worked so hard to stay, and now being sent back, everything would be over. But even if he wanted to help, he couldn’t.
“Male abortion requires the permission of the wife. As a servant, I can’t possibly buy the medicine if I go out. I really can’t help you.”
Can’t buy medicine without the wife’s consent? What kind of ridiculous rule is this? Do men not even have reproductive freedom in a female-dominated society?!
Seeing him not saying anything, Wen Xi was about to kneel on the ground again, “Please don’t send me away, I…”
“Alright, alright, it’s not your fault if you can’t buy it. Get up quickly.”
Meng Huan shooed him out and thought about what to do in the room. He wouldn’t just resign himself to carrying the child without medicine. That would be a fool’s act.
Abortion shouldn’t be a difficult thing, right? In modern times, he had also accompanied his girlfriend a few times. When people came out of the operating room, their faces might be a bit pale, but they basically recovered in a day. It should be similar to donating blood.
He pondered and gradually had an idea.

On this side, Wen Zhaoyin left angrily, but she didn’t forget to chat with the physician. After all, the child in Meng Huan’s belly was also hers. She couldn’t ignore it just because she was angry.
The two walked and talked.
“My little concubine was sick some time ago and only recovered after some recuperation. His body is a bit weak now. I don’t know if it will affect anything?”
The Wen family had a dedicated physician, but that physician took a leave of absence to return to his hometown after examining Meng Huan. The one in front of her was not a resident of the Wen residence, so Wen Zhaoyin had to communicate with her.
The physician’s steps were a bit slow, “When did the illness start? What kind of illness was it? Was any medicine used?”
Wen Zhaoyin couldn’t say that Meng Huan was starved by her own servant, so she just made up an excuse that Meng Huan had a weak body, and then estimated, “About half a month ago. Pei Lan, tell the lady about the previous prescription.”
After Pei Lan finished reciting the prescription, the physician’s expression changed.
She said in a heavy voice, “My lord, I’m afraid your husband’s pregnancy can’t be kept.”
“There is an ingredient in that prescription that, although it can nourish the body, is very harmful to the fetus in the womb. But the nourishing effect of that medicine is the best, so many physicians will use it for physically weak males who are not pregnant.”
“And to determine whether there is a pregnancy through pulse diagnosis, the fetus must be at least a month old. Half a month ago, the fetus was not showing, so the physician who adjusted your husband’s body felt at ease to prescribe the medicine.”
“This child may be fine now, but will gradually weaken and die in the womb at five or six months.”
After explaining the cause and effect clearly, the physician sighed, “This child cannot be kept.”
“It was I who harmed the child…” Wen Zhaoyin felt a little sad. If she hadn’t insisted on Meng Huan drinking the tonic, would this child have been fine?
Seeing her like this, the physician could only comfort her, “My lord, it’s not your fault. It’s just not meant to be.”
“But now your husband’s body is indeed not very good. It’s not suitable to miscarry too early. He needs to take seven days of tonic first to condition his body. If you trust this old woman, I will write down the prescription now.”
Wen Zhaoyin’s entire state was not very good. She directly let the physician give the prescription to Pei Lan, while she herself slowly paced in the corridor.
She didn’t know if the child was a girl or a boy. At first, the father didn’t want it, and then it was because of a medicine… Sigh.
She wiped her face, her emotions calming down a bit. Looking up, she saw Wang Gui, who was beside her father, walking towards her.
Wang Gui came forward to pay his respects, and then said, “Mistress, the patriarch heard that young master Meng is pregnant and is very relieved. He sent this servant to find you to talk.”

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.
