Chapter 34 Two Updates Combined
“I… just feel a bit… unwell.”
Lu Yuner’s whole body was trembling and cold with pain, her eyes gradually turning bloodshot, veins bulging, face pale and turning greenish, teeth clenched tightly, lips completely colorless.
How could this be called just feeling a bit unwell? Her entire body was clearly suffering extreme, agonizing pain!
Compared to her usual vibrant, cheerful self, now she looked like she was in unbearable pain, lifeless, like morning dew on a summer flower petal that would shatter at the slightest touch.
Shatter?
At this thought, a terrifying idea pierced his heart like a sharp weapon, a deadly poison seeping into his bones. His heart ached, making it hard to breathe, as if gripped by an invisible hand.
No! It can’t be!
Su Qingwan’s eyes grew moist with worry, welling up with tears. “Elder Sister Yuner, hold on a bit longer, I’ll take you to see a doctor right away.”
Lu Yuner, her face already deathly pale, hazily raised her eyes to look at him upon hearing his choked voice.
She saw a pair of tear-filled eyes before her, eyelashes wet with tears, trembling slightly, shimmering with layers of light, brimming with panic, helplessness, pain…
A flicker of complex emotion flashed in the depths of Lu Yuner’s heavy gaze. Suddenly, another wave of pain struck, causing her nerves to tense up involuntarily.
Just as the panicked Su Qingwan was about to ask Xiao Yuan to help support Lu Yuner into the carriage, the sound of rapidly approaching hoofbeats came whistling on the wind.
“My lady! My lady! Qiu Yi has returned. How are you feeling now?” Qiu Yi quickly jumped down from the carriage, sweat soaking through her clothes, leaving large wet patches.
She ran anxiously to Lu Yuner’s side, frowning at her master’s weak and helpless state, which seemed even worse than last time.
Qiu Yi then noticed Young Master Su’s tearful expression, and a flash of surprise crossed her eyes at the depth of emotion it contained.
Although she knew Young Master Su liked her master, that was only verbal confirmation from one side. Now it seemed more complicated than she had thought.
Lu Yuner struggled to move her lips, her voice weak and strained as she fought to control the pain, saying haltingly: “Qiu Yi… you’re here… take me… back to the manor.”
Seeing her master about to faint from pain, Qiu Yi suppressed her panic and took her from Su Qingwan’s arms, not forgetting to say: “Thank you, Young Master Su, for taking care of my lady. I’ll take it from here!”
Qiu Yi immediately carried her master and rushed to the carriage. Seeing her master’s agonized state, her voice trembled slightly, “Xiao Chun, quickly, back to the manor!”
Su Qingwan stared blankly at everything that had just happened – it all came too fast.
The moment Elder Sister Yuner left his arms, it felt like something was being forcibly torn away from his heart, piece by piece. At the same time, he felt an inexplicable fear and panic.
Why was this happening? Elder Sister Yuner had been fine just moments ago, why had she suddenly become so fragile?
“Young Master, if you’re worried about Academician Lu’s condition and can’t put your mind at ease, why don’t you go directly to the Lu manor?” Xiao Yuan stepped forward, taking the umbrella from the Young Master’s hand while supporting him.
To avoid disturbing the two of them, Xiao Yuan and Hua Ying had both tactfully observed from afar. Suddenly seeing Academician Lu leaning in the Young Master’s arms, they thought the relationship between the two had progressed, not expecting it to be Academician Lu suddenly falling ill.
But how could this situation occur so suddenly when she had been speaking normally just before?
Could it be as he suspected, that she truly had some hidden illness?
Su Qingwan’s distant gaze was drawn back by Xiao Yuan’s words. He blinked, tears in his eyes, hesitating due to his concerns: “Would that be appropriate?”
After repeatedly expressing his feelings to Elder Sister Yuner only to be rejected, unable to bear her cold attitude, he had finally told Elder Sister Yuner clearly that he would no longer pursue her, hiding all his thoughts just to be closer to her.
Although his heart disagreed, he had lied.
Today he had finally lost control in front of Elder Sister Yuner.
But he knew that although Elder Sister Yuner was gentle with people and handled matters softly, she had a ruler in her heart, always measuring the distance between people, never giving an inch more or less than necessary.
This was exactly as Elder Brother Nanxi had said – in dealing with people and friendships, stop at the right point.
But he was different. He was a greedy person. When it came to Elder Sister Yuner, he became insatiable, wanting more, regardless of means or cost.
As for whether Elder Sister Yuner would come to like him, he was actually gambling, always believing it was just a matter of time.
But today suddenly made him understand that in the face of life’s unpredictability and impermanence, only by seizing the moment could everything go as wished.
Tears fell from the Young Master’s eyes like pearls from a broken string, several more drops falling. Now with his monthly cycle coming, his body was already weak and unwell.
It seemed only encountering Academician Lu could instantly ignite the Young Master’s vitality, yet he was also heartbroken by her suffering.
One person’s joy, anger, sorrow and happiness changing and shifting with another’s every move and word.
For the Young Master to have his emotions so easily swayed by another, was it ultimately sorrow or joy?
Xiao Yuan felt sympathetic, his tone taking on a comforting quality, “What would be inappropriate about it? Academician Lu suddenly became unwell, it’s only natural for even a bystander who witnessed it to show concern. If you’re really worried, let Guard Hua Ying help you.”
Hearing this, Su Qingwan’s eyes brimmed with tears, but he shed no more. He looked at Xiao Yuan with a puzzled expression, “How can he help?”
The moment the carriage arrived at the Lu manor, Qiu Yi quickly carried her master to the study and laid her on the couch, covering her with a blanket. Lu Yuner, feigning calmness, grabbed Qiu Yi’s hand: “Qiu Yi, don’t worry, you go out first. I’ll call you if I need anything.”
Qiu Yi lowered her eyes and said in a muffled voice: “Yes.”
She felt guilty about being helpless regarding her master’s condition.
Her master’s heart condition had first manifested on Qingming Festival, but as long as she endured through the night, the pain would subside the next day. This strange illness baffled many good doctors, who still couldn’t determine its source and were unable to treat it effectively.
For now, her master could only rely on herself to endure as before.
As soon as Qiu Yi left and closed the door, Lu Yuner’s face, pale as death, contorted in agony. She began rolling back and forth on the bed, her silky black hair disheveled. To keep from crying out in pain, she bit down hard on her clothes, her hands tightly gripping the bedding.

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.
