Chapter 30: Oh, it turns out to be a seductive fox
“You think she likes you?”
Du Henian smiled, his eyes falling on Tang Man, “Si Jiahe, you can’t still be so naive, believing what she said. This woman has no heart.”
“Otherwise, why don’t you tell her how you’ve spent the past two years? Do you think she will be heartbroken, or would she rather stay away from you?”
Si Jiahe’s face turned pale in an instant. He was still holding Tang Man’s hand, refusing to let go, and even used some force to pull her behind him, protecting her.
Du Henian’s words were like a sharp knife stabbing into his heart, and invisible blood was flowing.
Si Jiahe tightly held Tang Man’s hand, his emotions visibly sinking, as if shrouded in dark clouds, as if he could strike at any time.
Tang Man felt it and couldn’t help frowning. She held Si Jiahe’s hand back, stepped forward to stand in front of Si Jiahe, smiled and said to Du Henian, “Du Henian, since in your heart I am heartless and so despicable, there is no need for you to keep entangling with me.”
Hearing these words, Du Henian looked at Tang Man for a long time, his face obviously sinking because of her words, seeming somewhat in disbelief. After a while, he smiled, “You like this person so much? For him, you can belittle my feelings for you so lightly.”
Tang Man remained silent.
Si Jiahe obviously had more confidence. He spoke softly, but it sounded like a sneer, “Senior, what you are experiencing now is just what I experienced back then. Now the tables have turned.”
He still remembered that phone call from back then, which added a few more wounds to his already traumatized heart.
Si Jiahe had always seen Du Henian as a third party secretly coveting someone else’s girlfriend. He firmly believed that it was Du Henian who caused problems in his and Tang Man’s relationship, even though at that time Tang Man had no interest in Du Henian at all.
When people are in a painful past, they tend to project their own trauma onto others. Of course, it was also because Tang Man could not give him enough sense of security.
Tang Man was too much like the wind. The monsoon would only come to this bay at a certain time, and he could only wait. So when the monsoon did not come the next year, he felt like the sky was falling and life was hopeless. He was now relying on his love for Tang Man to live, living like a poisonous mushroom growing in a damp and dark environment.
Tang Man tugged at Si Jiahe, thinking that even if he was good with words, what’s the use? With Si Jiahe’s small build, he would know the consequences if Du Henian beat him up later. Wasn’t this just provoking the other party?
She had a bit of a feeling of hating iron for not becoming steel, subconsciously pulling Si Jiahe back a step.
Du Henian saw Tang Man’s action. His hands tightened, and his eyes looked at her with an unfathomable emotion. Tang Man felt that there were emotions in there that she couldn’t understand.
In such a deep night, she saw that the man’s eyes seemed a little red, just because of her action.
She could feel Du Henian’s hurt. When her gaze fell on his face, thinking about their feelings over the past two years, even if they were no longer boyfriend and girlfriend, even if they had broken up, she didn’t want to treat this person like this. After all, she had once liked him.
Even if that liking had been worn away by time into an unknown shape, the liking of the past had existed.
How did it come to this point?
Her heart reflexively softened a little at those eyes of Du Henian.
She wanted to say something, but at this time, Si Jiahe behind her pulled her and said in a low voice, “Manman, let’s go up. There are a lot of mosquitoes here.”
Tang Man’s consciousness returned. She was silent for a while, glanced at Du Henian and was about to leave.
There was absolutely no need to continue this stalemate here.
But her hand was grabbed again. Du Henian’s eyes had a glimmer, as if he was about to cry in the next moment. He began to try to reconcile, “Manman, he is not suitable for you. You won’t be happy with him.”
But she was very happy now.
However, before Tang Man could say this, Si Jiahe grabbed Du Henian’s hand that was holding hers. She became the rope in the middle of a tug-of-war again.
Tang Man: “…”
She was silently thinking about what to say when Si Jiahe spoke up, softly like a white lotus, oh no, a white mushroom, a poisonous one. This poisonous white mushroom smiled at the man opposite and said, “Senior, don’t keep bothering Manman anymore. The person Manman likes now is me. Back then, Manman was only with you because she was having a cold war and quarreling with me, which gave you the opportunity.”
“Senior, you also know in your heart that if Manman and I hadn’t quarreled back then, you would have had nothing to do with it.”
Tang Man had dead fish eyes.
Alright, you guys argue, argue however you want.
She didn’t care anymore. If she cared about the life and death of these two again, she would just jump into the river.
She wanted to solve the conflict and change the subject, but Si Jiahe completely felt that the current situation was not tense enough. His small body was very sturdy, and he was trying hard to raise a torch directly next to the fuse of the bomb. One more step and the bomb would explode.
Alright, let it explode, explode.
She would stay away from the source of this bomb later.
Tang Man’s mind was filled with all kinds of strange thoughts. Later, she had already wandered from the current technological development to the future interstellar war. She was just thinking that if the Earth was destroyed in the future, humans might need to save the race through interstellar warships. Suddenly, she heard a bang.
She subconsciously came back to her senses and saw that Si Jiahe was punched in the corner of his mouth by Du Henian. The boy’s skin was fair and tender, and a large area turned purple and blue in an instant, looking a bit scary.
Blood flowed out.
Si Jiahe was obviously in a lot of pain, letting out a hiss.
The expression on Du Henian’s face was very gloomy, obviously furious, and the redness in his eyes was like a gloomy anger, which was a bit scary, and his aura was very oppressive.
His voice was hoarse, “I’m talking to her, where does a bitch like you have the place to interrupt?”
Tang Man frowned and reached out her hand, ready to stop them, but then she saw Si Jiahe raise his head, lick the wound on the corner of his mouth, taste the blood, and his eyebrows gradually became shrouded in a layer of cold ice. Then he softly smiled and directly punched Du Henian in the face.
His expression was gloomy.
A delicate face became somewhat distorted.
No matter how good-looking a person is, they all look so ugly when they are angry, just like Si Jiahe, just like Du Henian. When people are extremely angry, they simply turn into animals, their minds completely dominated by emotions, losing reason.

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.
