Chapter 104: Birthday Banquet
Exchanging small gifts between lovers is just a romantic gesture to increase affection between each other.
Her identity was special. Whether through sweet words or actions, her expressions of love encompassed ways from two worlds.
In this world, he was her only and loyal listener, loving her without hesitation, and was her companion to spend the rest of her life with.
She liked him, loved him, and naturally gave him 100% of her love. She was never stingy in expressing her affection. As for why give gifts? It’s simply because of love!
If she had to find a reason…
Lu Yuner’s gaze swept over the bracelet he wore, finally landing on the young man’s blushing face, her words dripping with honey: “I like Ah Wan, I want to tie Ah Wan tightly to me, and keep him by my side forever.”
Su Qingwan’s heart suddenly quickened, the faint smile at the corners of his mouth as bright as a lotus, he said shyly: “Even without the bracelet, I would stay by Yuner sister’s side forever. But after a long time, I hope Yuner sister won’t find me annoying.”
“Not annoying! Not annoying! Ah Wan is so good and cute, how could I ever find you annoying!” Lu Yuner couldn’t help but pinch his soft cheeks again.
People all like beautiful things. She could look at this handsome face for a lifetime without getting tired of it.
Lu Yuner reluctantly withdrew her hand, “Alright, go wash up and sleep!”
Because of the matter with uncle this morning, Yuner sister was very filial and wouldn’t defy her elders. He was afraid Yuner sister would leave.
Su Qingwan instinctively reached out and hugged her tightly, reminding her: “Yuner sister, when uncle talked to me in the room today, he didn’t say we couldn’t sleep together. He just advised me about some other things.”
Lu Yuner’s eyes were full of pity, she smiled and said, “Mm, I know. But I need to go to the study for a while. You wash up and go to sleep first, okay?”
This time it was a letter from Princess Yun, so she had to go.
Su Qingwan paused slightly, not answering verbally.
Seeing his hesitation, she knew he was afraid she was deceiving him and wouldn’t return.
Indeed, she had deceived him before. At the same time, feeling his embrace tightening, it seemed she really needed to coax him properly.
Lu Yuner leaned close to the young man’s face, closed her eyes and gently kissed his soft lips, while her warm palm rested on his slender waist through his clothes, slowly laying him down on the soft bedding.
Su Qingwan’s breath caught, his hands at her waist gradually curling to grasp her clothes, slightly squinting his eyes to look at the beautiful face so close to his own.
Their lips and tongues intertwined endlessly, an ambiguous heat permeating around them.
Su Qingwan’s face was flushed red from the kiss, sinking deep into the bed, muffled and fragmented moans escaping from between their entangled lips.
At this point, Lu Yuner slowly withdrew her lips and tongue, pulling away slightly, their foreheads touching, noses pressed together, hot breaths falling on each other’s skin.
Su Qingwan came to his senses from the passionate kiss just now. Faced with her affectionate coaxing, after a moment of silence, he raised his flushed face and took the initiative to kiss her, panting softly: “Yuner sister, come back soon.”
Seeing him relent, it seemed one kiss could indeed solve the problem. Lu Yuner’s eyes curved in a smile, “Mm.”
After coaxing the young Master Su, Lu Yuner went to the study. By this time, Hua Ying and Qiu Yi were already waiting there.
Although she no longer inquired about court affairs during this trip to Jinling Prefecture, she still learned about the current developments through Sister Ranzhi.
Sister Ranzhi had just written yesterday, saying that as soon as she left, many things happened in the capital. After just one day, Princess Yun sent another letter. Clearly, the capital was quite lively.
Hua Ying handed the letter to Lu Yuner, respectfully saying: “Doctor Lu, a letter for you from Princess Yun.”
Lu Yuner looked at Hua Ying thoughtfully. She was the secret guard protecting young Master Su’s safety. Since coming to Jinling Prefecture, she had almost completely hidden herself, but secretly observed everything around them, suddenly appearing to help when something happened.
For example, when she was drugged at the Listening Snow Tower, Hua Ying appeared at the critical moment.
While protecting young Master Su, she was also protecting her. Whether it was Princess Yun’s order or not, Lu Yuner quite liked and trusted Hua Ying as a person.
However, how much of their affairs in Jinling Prefecture would Hua Ying reveal to the capital?
Lu Yuner took the letter from her hand, while Hua Ying, like a tool, left after delivering the letter.
She slowly opened it to read. The contents of the letter didn’t mention anything about the capital, but were all admonitions in the tone of an elder, telling her to take good care of young Master Su while away from home, and to be more tolerant of his little temper.
Between the lines was full of deep concern and care. It seemed the relationship between this mother and son had improved quite a bit.
Lu Yuner smiled slightly and took the letter back to her room, leaving Qiu Yi standing in place bewildered. But seeing the smile on her master’s face, it must be good news!
After washing up outside, Lu Yuner had just reached the door of the room when she saw the light was still on inside. She quietly entered and closed the door.
Seeing the person on the bed sleeping peacefully, Lu Yuner took off her outer clothes, extinguished the light and gently got into bed.
But as soon as she lay down, a warm and soft fragrance instantly pressed against her, like a little dog nuzzling into her arms.
Lu Yuner’s lips curved slightly, her voice as soft as gentle rain: “Not asleep yet?”
Su Qingwan slowly opened his eyes, “Mm.”
Knowing he had deliberately waited for her, Lu Yuner reached out to hold him, “I’m back, be good and sleep now!”
Nestled in her arms, Su Qingwan asked: “Yuner sister, why have you been going to the study so often these past few days? Is it because there are important matters in the capital that you need to deal with?”
Since mentioning it once before, she hadn’t inquired further about young Master Su’s relationship with Princess Yun. Lu Yuner looked at him: “It’s nothing. Just now was a letter from Princess Yun.”
Su Qingwan suddenly raised his head, his eyes showing some excitement: “What did she say?”
Lu Yuner pulled up the fallen quilt to cover him, saying directly: “She said that while away from home, I should take good care of you.”
A hint of joy flashed in Su Qingwan’s eyes as he lay back in her arms: “Yuner sister, I’ve actually talked to her, just not much.”
Lu Yuner said gently: “Mm, I know. Everything will come gradually.”
Although young Master Su’s relationship with Princess Yun had eased, it was after all a knot buried in his heart for many years. It was impossible to untie it all at once.

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.
