Chapter 31: Hm, a shirt clip? ……
Compared to the embarrassment of Tang Man and the others, the two middle-aged police officers were obviously much calmer. After all, they had been in the police station for a long time and had seen everything. They had even encountered cases where a son killed his parents in order to marry a wife.
They were all people who had seen big scenes, so this small matter of two men fighting over a woman was not a novelty to them.
So they were able to ask questions with a calm expression.
By the time they left the police station, it was already late at night. Summer had not yet arrived, and the sky was still a bit cold. The streets were empty, with flickering neon lights, but not many people.
Xie Li’s car was parked not far away. The four of them stood outside the door awkwardly for a while. Tang Man looked around, rubbed her nose, and smiled embarrassedly. She looked at Xie Li and said, “Sorry for the trouble, coming all the way here in the middle of the night.”
Xie Li’s gaze fell on Tang Man, then swept over Si Jiahe, who had been clinging to Tang Man, and Du Henian, who had been walking behind without making a sound.
Both men had bruises on their faces and looked very disheveled.
Du Henian had a sense of calmness about him. The usual gentleness seemed to have turned into a ray of light that could not penetrate the deep ocean bottom. His entire temperament had completely changed, becoming silent, gloomy, and decadent.
This was the change brought about by this woman.
Xie Li once again felt the terror of Tang Man as a person, but even so, he was still like a moth flying towards that cold fire. Some flames looked blue, as if they were giving off a chill.
But when they pounced on it, they found that the fire was scorching hot, turning the moths to ashes, causing blisters on the skin, and burning the heart with pain.
Du Henian had already pounced on it uncontrollably. Si Jiahe had been in and out of the fire several times, still like a moth to the flame, bringing about his own destruction.
Perhaps even the flames themselves did not know the terror of their own temperature.
Xie Li suddenly smiled at Tang Man, “If you felt it was troublesome, you wouldn’t have called me.”
Si Jiahe lifted his head when he heard this sentence. Even though his face was now covered in bruises, the superiority of his features could still be seen. The delicacy between his eyebrows could not be concealed in any way.
He looked too unlike an ordinary person. This kind of appearance easily attracted the attention of others in life.
When Xie Li sometimes thought about this, he couldn’t help but sigh. Why didn’t this person enter the entertainment industry? As long as he entered that circle, no matter how much Tang Man liked this man, she would not touch him a bit.
Sometimes people’s luck was really unpredictable.
Si Jiahe’s attitude towards Xie Li was not so good. He remembered what the other party had said to Tang Man in front of the hospital.
[Did you break up with Du Henian?]Now that he thought about it, asking this question in that situation in front of him was by no means a friendly gesture. Men all had an intuition, especially when it came to rivals in love.
Millions of years of biological evolution had made males extraordinarily gifted in their possessiveness of their mates, as if they had radar installed, and their sixth sense was instantly activated, detecting rivals within a hundred meters.
He leaned against Tang Man and acted coquettishly, “Man Man, my head hurts a bit too.”
He really did have a bit of a headache, but it was a dull ache, and this kind of pain was already very familiar. Mentioning it now was just to divert Tang Man’s attention, so that she wouldn’t focus on Xie Li. He hated it when Tang Man’s gaze lingered on anyone other than him.
He didn’t want Tang Man to have too much entanglement with this Xie Li. Back in college, he had seen this name appear a few times in Tang Man’s phone, but at that time, Tang Man directly said that Xie Li was her father’s special assistant, so Si Jiahe didn’t pay much attention.
How proud he was back then.
The naive and carefree style of a young man, with his heart completely devoted to Tang Man, and believing that Tang Man was the same.
Tang Man turned her head to look. Si Jiahe’s face was almost close to hers, and he was particularly scheming, using the side of his face with fewer injuries.
However, the bruise on the corner of his mouth ruined that beauty.
Tang Man raised a hand and poked Si Jiahe’s mouth corner, her expression unchanged. “Knowing it hurts, just behave. I don’t like people who hit others.”
Si Jiahe hissed. He lifted his head and wanted to say something, but he met Tang Man’s gaze.
Cold and casual.
Facing such a gaze, his words suddenly got stuck in his throat, and he couldn’t say anything.
He could only hold Tang Man’s arm, leaning his entire body against hers, using intangible body movements to replace words, to convey a certain idea to Tang Man.
This kind of behavior had always been tactful, not easily arousing Tang Man’s disgust. He was already familiar with this process, and it felt extremely familiar to do so.
However, at this moment, Du Henian stepped forward, pulling Si Jiahe several steps away from Tang Man, directly causing Tang Man to stagger several steps as well.
Si Jiahe’s expression changed. He was about to say something when he met Du Henian’s gaze, but then he saw Du Henian maliciously leaning close to Si Jiahe’s ear and slowly saying a sentence.
And this sentence directly made Si Jiahe freeze in place.
Tang Man heard it vaguely, but still captured some of the words.
She glanced at Du Henian, met his gloomy and smiling eyes for a moment, then looked at Si Jiahe, frowning. “Jiahe, what medicine are you taking?”
Si Jiahe seemed to be trembling all over, his face turning pale in a very rapid manner. His lips trembled a few times, and his eyes were occupied by a kind of despair.
Du Henian had almost torn off the last layer of pretense on his face. He knew that once this layer was torn off, Tang Man would definitely not be with him again.
Definitely not be with him again.
Si Jiahe fell into a state of despair. He was trapped by his own speculation, and his entire being quickly withered on the surface. He did not respond to Tang Man’s question.
Du Henian stood aside and laughed lightly, even smoothing his somewhat disheveled collar and sleeves.
The man met Tang Man’s gaze and smiled, like a suppressed stormy sea. “Man Man, don’t look at me like that.”
“Didn’t you wonder about what I said about his life in the past two years? This is that Si Jiahe, no longer innocent and carefree, now stuck in a mess, worthless except for a pretty face.”
“Didn’t you sleep with him before?” When Du Henian said this sentence, he smiled, a smile filled with hatred, but he didn’t dare to hate Tang Man. He could only vent this desperate emotion weakly on Si Jiahe. “Didn’t you notice anything wrong with this man’s body?”
Tang Man remained silent.

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.
