Chapter 33: Male Classmates Not Allowed?
This sentence was obviously a joke, but Li Zhenguan was a very serious person, or rather, he was very serious when it came to the matter of people of the opposite sex around Wang Zhao. He wished there were no people of the opposite sex within an 800-mile radius around her.
Of course, people of the same sex could also disappear as much as possible.
So he really lowered his head and sniffed Wang Zhao’s arm that she held up in front of him, then wrinkled his nose and sneezed.
Wang Zhao was curious: “What did you smell?”
Li Zhenguan rubbed his nose, avoiding Wang Zhao’s gaze as he met her eyes: “No particular smell, just the hospital’s disinfectant smell is too strong.”
The alcohol scent was originally very faint, and the perfume smell was clearly accidentally picked up, possibly without even touching. His nose couldn’t detect which area had a stronger smell.
Getting closer, he could instead smell Wang Zhao’s natural scent. She wasn’t like most people who wore perfume; her entire body had a rather natural smell. He could even smell the dry scent of the hot sun on her clothes, followed by the long-lasting fragrance of shower gel on her skin.
It was the most commonly used shower gel. With his excellent sense of smell at this moment, he could even guess that this scent should be lemon fragrance.
Even after moving away, he could still feel this fragrance lingering at the tip of his nose. For a moment, his whole body softened a bit, and he didn’t dare to look at Wang Zhao. He just lowered his head, rubbing his nose, pretending to be a bit uncomfortable.
Wang Zhao didn’t notice. She just pulled out a mask from a compartment nearby and handed it to Li Zhenguan, stopping his action: “Don’t rub it anymore, your nose is all red.”
She said: “When we get off the car later, there will be many people over there. You should put on the mask first.”
During this period, Li Zhenguan rarely went out, mostly staying at his own home. His room was always kept clean. Now that he was going out, when they got off the car and suddenly smelled various scents, who knows what reaction might occur.
Li Zhenguan obediently put on the mask. He had become particularly delicate recently, even Yang Jin had mentioned it to him a few times. Li Zhenguan had become very picky about food, but the Li family’s housekeeper always doted on him and cooked according to Li Zhenguan’s preferences. So he could only rack his brains to make new dishes to coax him to eat.
However, most of the time, Wang Zhao’s words were more effective than anyone else’s. Generally, as long as she sat at the dining table, this man would reluctantly eat a few more bites. Today, she had accompanied him to finish lunch before setting out.
Before reaching the custom-made shop in the city center, Li Zhenguan took the initiative to speak, casually talking about what he did at home today, then said: “My dad had someone renovate and clean up the villa under my name, saying that I could live there in the future. It’s quite close to Jinan District.”
His villa was one of the rare hillside villas in the urban area. Many other villas were in the suburbs, which was very inconvenient for daily commuting. Generally, very few people would live there regularly, only going to the suburban villas on weekends for a few days.
So Li Zhenguan’s hillside villa was quite valuable, with a market value in the high eight figures and seemingly still room for appreciation.
Wang Zhao shifted her gaze from her phone to Li Zhenguan beside her, thought for a moment, and said: “Do you want to live separately after marriage?”
It’s not impossible.
The marriage system in this world wasn’t much different from the one in her previous life. It wasn’t uncommon for couples to sleep in separate rooms. Wang Zhao originally thought Li Zhenguan was the type of person who was particularly clingy, unexpected that he would suggest that after marriage, he could still live in the villa.
Here, Wang Zhao didn’t quite understand. She didn’t realize that Li Zhenguan’s words meant that after marriage, they could live together in the hillside villa.
Li Zhenguan living there, her living here at home, or when the Golden Road penthouse was renovated, she could move there. When she had time, she could also go to the hillside villa to see Li Zhenguan.
Li Zhenguan, however, seemed to be choked by Wang Zhao’s words, staring at Wang Zhao in a daze, his eyes visible above the mask filled with indescribable shock and sadness.
Wang Zhao then realized, she pinched her finger, then pinched her brow: “I’m sorry, I might have misunderstood you and the meaning of your words earlier.”
“However, if you want to live in the villa, that’s fine. I won’t go. Besides, moving back and forth is inconvenient. I’ll just continue to live here. On weekends, I can come visit you.” Wang Zhao was very serious in discussing this with Li Zhenguan, “I have a penthouse on Golden Road under my name, but it’s still being renovated. It probably won’t be ready until the end of the year and we can move in next year. It’s good for you to live there for now, and when the house is ready to move in next year, we can live there together.”
She knew that many young people were unwilling to live with their partner’s parents. After all, even living with one’s own parents, conflicts were unavoidable. Living with in-laws would definitely lead to more friction, and there would also be a significant generation gap in lifestyle.
Li Zhenguan didn’t seem to be a person with a bad temper, but he had grown up in affluent circumstances and hadn’t suffered much hardship. Living with Wang Xuechun and Zhang Ke would definitely require some adjustment in perspectives, and in the end, Li Zhenguan would likely be the one to suffer.
Wang Zhao was completely thinking for Li Zhenguan’s benefit, and in her view, this proposal was really good. This way, Li Zhenguan wouldn’t have to serve his in-laws, living alone in the villa would be much more comfortable, and he could even hire someone to take care of him specifically, which would be much better than living with her in this old neighborhood.
If she had gotten married in her previous life, she might have desperately hoped for such a life.
But Li Zhenguan obviously didn’t think so. He stared at Wang Zhao, all the romanticism in his heart dissipating, his whole person seeming to wilt, his eyes slightly red, as if he was about to cry the next moment.
Wang Zhao stopped talking and sighed helplessly.
“If you don’t want to, then forget it. I’m not telling you to accept my idea, we’re just discussing,” Wang Zhao said softly.
Fortunately, the partition in the car was now raised, so the driver probably couldn’t see the two of them and couldn’t hear them talking. Otherwise, Wang Zhao really feared she might receive a call from Li Zhenguan’s parents in the evening, accusing her of bullying their precious son.
Li Zhenguan said: “I don’t want to be separated from you.”

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.
