Chapter 75: Medicine Arrives
Regarding his various bold flirtations when facing Lu Yuner, he had actually specially sought advice from Xie Nanxi in private, and after reading many novels about men and women and some risqué booklets, he had memorized the theory by heart.
Although he was somewhat shy in practice, it was still quite effective.
But after all, deep down, Su Qingwan was a thoroughly pure and shy young man, and when it came to matters of love between men and women, he was a clueless little virgin.
Such embarrassing words were already said with great courage, and he must have been influenced by her.
Instead of hiding his expressions of love, he was open and frank about them.
Lu Yuner smiled knowingly and slowly said, “Ah Wan, you come from a noble background, your status is extremely precious, and you’re a prestigious aristocrat in the capital. I’m just a minor official. For you to become my husband is already considered marrying beneath your station.”
“The three letters and six etiquette gifts, the dragon crown and rosy clouds gown, all these things needed for the wedding cannot be missing. I must welcome you with an eight-bearer bridal sedan chair in grand style, so as not to let you lose face.”
“But… after all, it’s the parents’ command and matchmaker’s words. My parents have passed away, and although we understand each other’s hearts, I still need to meet with Yun Qinwang before I can truly confirm our marriage.”
As soon as this was mentioned, Su Qingwan’s eyes darkened, and he tightened his embrace. “Sister Yuner, you don’t need to worry or have any concerns. No one can separate us, including her. She’s not important.”
Again the word “she” – in young master Su’s heart, Yun Qinwang was just an emotionless pronoun, completely unrelated to the word “mother”. It was evident that there was an insurmountable gap between the mother and son.
Thinking about it now, last time at the Imperial Academy, Yun Qinwang seemed a bit stern towards young master Su, but in fact, she was extremely concerned about him in her heart. At the same time, because of the death of young master Su’s father, she felt a great debt towards him, so she wouldn’t obstruct anything young master Su did.
Now it made sense. When Yun Qinwang initially invited her into the mansion and immediately spoke of requesting an imperial decree for their marriage, it was also to fulfill young master Su’s wishes.
Later, she deliberately had her stay overnight at the mansion, and afterwards, Yun Qinwang never intervened in her interactions with young master Su. She had been curious about this, unable to understand it no matter how much she thought about it.
It turned out to be intentional.
Perhaps young master Su was right, Yun Qinwang wouldn’t interfere in their affairs. But after all, she was young master Su’s mother, and this blood relationship was something that couldn’t be severed.
Reasonably, she needed to have a good talk with Yun Qinwang. Within three days, the remaining poison in her body would be completely cleared. As for… whether her eyes could recover, she must also pay a personal visit.
From young master Su’s words, she also learned that during the days she wasn’t in the capital, he had been waiting for her at the Lu family mansion. This action would certainly attract the attention of many people, especially the noble ladies who had intentions of marrying young master Su. It would inevitably lead to some rumors and gossip, damaging young master Su’s reputation.
In any case, she must return to the capital for a trip.
Lu Yuner said thoughtfully, “Ah Wan, perhaps I don’t understand enough about the relationship between you and Yun Qinwang, but after all, she is your mother. This blood tie cannot be severed. If we were to become husband and wife, it’s not just about the two of us, but about both families. All the noble families and common people in the capital are watching.”
“Moreover, I still hope that our marriage can receive the support and blessings of our elders. So, for the sake of reason and sentiment, I should meet with her. Do you understand, Ah Wan?”
Su Qingwan, harboring somewhat complicated thoughts in her embrace, softly replied, “Sister Yuner, I understand.”
Since Sister Yuner wanted to meet her, he should meet her beforehand, especially since he had something to ask of her.
The next day, after finishing breakfast, Su Qingwan made an excuse to take some clean clothes back to Yun Qinwang’s mansion.
Before the carriage on the return journey approached Yun Qinwang’s mansion, Chen Si, having heard the servant’s report, hurriedly came to the outside of the mansion. Xiao Yuan also rushed over upon hearing the news. As soon as the carriage stopped, Xiao Yuan excitedly came forward to help him, but Su Qingwan raised his hand to indicate that he didn’t need Xiao Yuan’s service and quickly got off the carriage himself.
Seeing their young master’s face rosy and transparent, with a smile in his eyes and seemingly in a very good mood, it was clear that after meeting Lu Yuner on this trip to Changyun Mountain, his whole person was glowing. It seems Lu Yuner was truly young master’s panacea!
Su Qingwan walked forward and gave a slight smile to Chen Si, “Aunt Chen, I’m back.”
Chen Si smiled and said, “Are you hungry? If you’re hungry, I’ll have someone make you something to eat right away.”
“I’ve had breakfast, I’m not hungry.” Su Qingwan’s expression changed slightly, “Where is she?”
Chen Si was momentarily stunned. Hearing the young master’s way of addressing Yun Qinwang, she was already accustomed to it, but she didn’t expect him to actively ask about Yun Qinwang after returning from Changyun Mountain, which was quite surprising to her.
However, last night Hua Ying suddenly sent an urgent letter, and Yun Qinwang personally set off for the far north in the night.
Chen Si replied, “Yun Qinwang has gone out, she should be back this evening.”
“I see.” Su Qingwan’s eyes showed a hint of disappointment. He had thought he could go and come back quickly, but it seemed he would have to wait for some time. He said, “When she returns, Aunt Chen, please let me know. I’ll go to my room first.”
“Yes.” Chen Si nodded in response, a flash of confusion passing through her eyes. It seemed that the young master’s return today to see Yun Qinwang must have another purpose.
After returning to his room, Su Qingwan first went to the wardrobe and sorted out a few clean changes of clothes himself.
Xiao Yuan, seeing this, intended to come forward to help, but was refused by Su Qingwan. Xiao Yuan frowned, “Young Master, you packing clothes is…”
Su Qingwan didn’t stop his actions, “Xiao Yuan, I might be returning to Changyun Mountain later. If I can’t return today, I will definitely leave tomorrow. You don’t need to serve me anymore. Now as I pack my clothes, you just watch me do it. If there’s any part I’m not doing well, you should point it out to me.”

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.

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.
