Chapter 96: Favoritism
Stay?
Lu Yuner’s eyelashes lowered slightly as she fell into a moment of contemplation. She had never rejected intimacy with the young master Su, but as a woman, and a normal woman at that, she needed to consider more issues than the young master Su, and naturally would be cautious.
Those around them were all loyal people, long accustomed to their interactions. But if others in Jinling Zhou were to see them living in the same room before marriage, it would spread and damage his reputation.
Before, when he acted up, she would indulge him. When he wanted something, she would give it. Kisses and hugs, everything was in a quiet environment with just the two of them, unknown to others.
Her permission was always within limits.
But the young master Su was different, a bold lover unafraid of worldly opinions. From the beginning, she had felt his direct expressions of love, which was different from other men she had encountered in this matriarchal world.
As long as he wanted it, he liked it, he didn’t care about others’ comments or gazes.
Lu Yuner looked at his handsome face, with features that couldn’t be faulted, eyes full of pleading and expectation like a puppy’s. She felt a bit reluctant as she said, “Wan’er, be good, go back to your room to sleep.”
Su Qingwan’s face instantly showed a hint of disappointment, the light in his eyes dimming with her words. This answer was within his expectations.
The result of his probing was indeed no different from before.
She was still so rational.
Su Qingwan slowly moved closer and reached out to caress her cheek. His beautiful eyes and brows were filled with evident infatuation as he said seriously, “Elder Sister Yuner, you are a good woman, but sometimes I really wish you could be less rational, even a little bad. Of course, you can only be bad to me.”
Lu Yuner’s eyes widened slightly in surprise. “… Bad? This request?”
“This way I could cross Elder Sister Yuner’s bottom line.” Su Qingwan met her gaze, staring at her intently as he moved his finger to her chest. “Bit by bit, conquer your heart, make you fascinated by me, make you fall for me.”
“I admit I’m an insatiable person, excessively obsessed with Elder Sister Yuner. I want to be with Elder Sister Yuner every moment, I want to get more pampering from Elder Sister Yuner, more favoritism, but I can never guess what Elder Sister Yuner wants, or what can break Elder Sister Yuner’s principles.”
“Elder Sister Yuner once said I look good, I was very happy. They say beauty bewitches the mind, but even using the beautiful man strategy to seduce you, in the end I’m still defeated by Elder Sister Yuner’s rationality.”
“Sometimes I feel my charm isn’t enough to attract Elder Sister Yuner’s attention, making Elder Sister Yuner have no desire for me.”
“So I privately learned many ways to please women, but obviously they had no effect on Elder Sister Yuner. Elder Sister Yuner would indulge me to seek pleasure within reasonable limits, but every time we reach the edge of the bottom line, Elder Sister Yuner would stop me in the name of propriety. Of course, Elder Sister Yuner is not wrong.”
Speaking to this point, Su Qingwan slowly leaned into her embrace, truly pouring out his heart, “But I have selfish desires, and greed. I so wish Elder Sister Yuner wasn’t such an upright person, I so wish we were already married so we didn’t have to worry about other things, I so wish Elder Sister Yuner would abandon rationality and fall for me.”
Faced with him unreservedly speaking his mind, Lu Yuner’s deep gaze fell on the youth in her arms. The young master Su was right, she was indeed like that, neither indulgent nor greedy in desire. She considered more the external influences, the constraints of society.
But rules are made by people, and naturally can be broken by people.
Suddenly, at this moment, a knock sounded at the door again, breaking the silence in the room.
Qiu Yi stood at the doorway again without peering in, carefully speaking, afraid of disturbing those inside: “My lady, do you still want to bathe today?”
Hearing the voice outside, Su Qingwan silently withdrew from her embrace, lowering his eyes without speaking.
Lu Yuner looked at him thoughtfully, got up and walked to the door, half-opened it, said a few words to Qiu Yi, then returned to the room to see the young master Su had already put on his shoes and come to her, slightly lowering his head, “Elder Sister Yuner, don’t mind those words just now, I won’t bother you anymore, you rest early.”
Seeing his lowered eyelashes hiding the myriad emotions in his eyes, Lu Yuner blocked his way, paused for a moment, then said seriously: “Wan’er, stay tonight.”
Hearing this, Su Qingwan immediately looked up, his eyes rippling with countless waves of joy, saying in disbelief: “Really?!”
Lu Yuner smiled slightly. She didn’t know why she agreed to his request. Having spent so much time with him, she found herself increasingly influenced by his emotions. She couldn’t bear to see him cry, couldn’t bear to see him unhappy, and even more couldn’t bear to see him looking pitiful and wronged.
Everything she adhered to had long since loosened in front of him, gradually becoming traceable.
Lu Yuner smiled and said: “Of course it’s true, but I’ll go wash up first, can you wait for me in the room?”
Although he didn’t know why Elder Sister Yuner would agree, for him it was the best surprise.
Su Qingwan nodded happily.
Then Lu Yuner left the room, while Su Qingwan remained standing, placing his hand on his chest, feeling the excitement in his heart that couldn’t be calmed for a long time.
After a while, Su Qingwan returned to the bed, slowly took off his outer clothes, removed his shoes and got into bed, smoothing out the bedding.
Finally, he sat on the bed in a white undergarment, staring intently at the tightly closed door, already eager with both excitement and anticipation.
After finishing washing up, Lu Yuner pushed open the door and walked towards the bed, looking at the young master Su sitting obediently on the bed, wearing his underclothes and not moving, unexpectedly cute and charming.
A gentle evening breeze brushed past the candlelight, casting an orange glow that flowed over the youth’s delicate snow-white face. The blush on his face seemed like the flush of light intoxication, seeming drunk yet not, making it hard to look away.
Lu Yuner’s heart trembled, a hint of complexity flashing through her dark eyes.
When Su Qingwan saw Lu Yuner return, he prepared to get up to help her change, but she spoke while taking off her outer clothes, “Wan’er, I’ll do it myself, you sleep on the inside, I’ll go put out the light.”
“Mm.” Su Qingwan obediently lay down on the inner side of the bed, but his gaze was fixed on that swaying figure removing her clothes, secretly scanning Elder Sister Yuner’s whole body.
He slightly pursed his lips, his throat tight and dry, strongly suppressing the nervousness in his eyes, maintaining an outward appearance of calm composure.

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.
