Chapter 1: Peach Blossoms Fall into Her Bosom
In the fifth month, flowers were in full bloom, and the spring breeze carried warmth as it gently blew across the earth.
Chirp, chirp—the sparrows nesting under the eaves chirped and chattered, occasionally turning their heads towards the paper window with a broken corner, as if discussing something.
Li Ruantang, who was lying on the kang bed, was still in a daze. Her hibiscus-colored gold-woven dress was stained with mud and traces of blood, which was a startling sight.
Yet she was still dreaming, her fingertips slightly curved outside the blanket, and her unintentionally furrowed brows looked serious.
“Li Ruan…” The sobbing cries sounded, and the young gentleman sitting beside her lowered his head, not even having the chance to check her breath again.
“What an ominous thing! If you call out again, see if this old lady doesn’t burn your nest!”
Outside the window, some lady shouted angrily, not only startling the sparrows under the eaves to fly away in a flurry but also causing Li Ruantang’s body to tremble. Not to mention the peach blossoms that filled her bosom in her dream had vanished into thin air, her whole body also suddenly ached unbearably, as if she had been beaten several times.
“Mmm…”
As soon as Li Ruantang became slightly conscious, she felt indescribably uncomfortable.
She slightly moved her numb fingers, about to ask which maid was so inconsiderate, but then she heard low sobs beside her ear.
The voice was both repressed and sad. If the sparrows under the eaves had not been startled away, she wouldn’t have noticed it.
“…Tang, sob, Tang.” He seemed to have cried for a long time, and even when calling her name, it was intermittent. “Please wake up soon!”
Tangtang?
The way he called her sounded intimate. Li Ruantang felt her face burning when she heard it. Ever since she returned to the capital, she had never been so familiar with any young gentleman.
However, this voice sounded pure and clear, with a tinge of familiarity in her ears.
Who could it be?
Li Ruantang’s head was still a bit dizzy, and her eyelids struggled to open a tiny crack. She curiously yet calmly concentrated her efforts to gather her scattered gaze in one place.
The sunlight that entered her eyes was dazzling, but it couldn’t hide the dilapidated walls and the dusty, decaying ceiling.
For a moment, Li Ruantang was stunned, her peripheral vision not reaching beside her. In an instant, her attention was completely drawn to a small spider happily descending along its silk thread.
The little thing descended very quickly. Before Li Ruantang could blink, it was only a hair’s breadth away from the tip of her nose.
You should know that Li Ruantang was fearless in her daily life, but when she saw these insects and ants, her back would break out in a cold sweat.
In a flash, her soul, which had seemed to be pressed by a mountain and filled with lead, was immediately summoned back by seven or eight parts.
She screamed, no longer caring to look at the young gentleman. She swiftly dodged towards the window. Seeing that her skirt was about to touch the layer of grayish-black on the wall, Li Ruantang’s eyes twitched. She turned around and rolled towards the edge of the kang bed.
After all, besides being afraid of insects, she was also a person who loved cleanliness.
“Oomph!”
The imagined smooth escape and turn were abruptly interrupted. Li Ruantang was so startled that her back went numb. Before she could completely stop, she had already clumsily rolled into the arms of the dumbfounded young gentleman.
In an instant, she felt as if she had collided into a fragrant warmth. Li Ruantang was so flustered that she didn’t know where to put her hands and feet.
Fortunately, she had released her strength and didn’t cause a big disaster.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry.”
Li Ruantang apologized repeatedly. The person in front of her was a stranger, so her voice was a bit hesitant. “May I ask which family’s young master you are?”
The young gentleman’s cheeks were still flushed, and his phoenix eyes were brimming with tears. Being bumped by Li Ruantang, he let out a muffled groan and took a few breaths before asking in shock, “You don’t remember me?”
He had red lips and white teeth, a face like a crown jade. Even when sitting on the edge of the kang bed, his back was still straight. His frost-colored robe was also covered in a lot of dust.
Li Ruantang’s ears turned red again when she saw him. She couldn’t keep staring at him, so she turned her face and mumbled in her heart.
Should she remember him?
Judging from his words, they seemed to be old acquaintances? How come she had no impression of him at all?
Li Ruantang slightly furrowed her brows, but the pain between her brows was like dense threads, entangling her consciousness. She really couldn’t think any further. She could only endure it, and soon, a forehead of fine sweat fell.

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.
