Chapter 14
After walking for nearly half an hour, there was still no sign of people, and the white mist showed no sign of thinning. The further she went, the more strange and dangerous things appeared.
Although it wasn’t difficult to clear them away, Shen Yao Xing was getting annoyed. Dealing with them endlessly still took some effort, especially since she was also trying to find someone.
Seeing another wild boar charging recklessly towards her, Shen Yao Xing clicked her tongue impatiently and swung her dagger, killing it with one strike.
How had she not known before that there were so many animals in the nearby mountains? And these animals seemed to have coordinated, all charging at her. The rustling sounds in her ears started again, and Shen Yao Xing skillfully swung her dagger to cut through the vines attacking from her side.
She sighed and leaned against a nearby tree trunk, but instead of the rough texture unique to trees, what she felt was a slimy sensation like a fish’s body.
“Ugh,” Shen Yao Xing shook her hand in disgust and frowned as she examined the large tree in front of her. Unlike other trees that were white or brown, this one was covered in a layer of something like moss, with green slime constantly dripping down.
Shen Yao Xing quickly stepped back two paces. She hadn’t noticed in the thick fog earlier, but now that she could see clearly, it was so ugly it was almost nauseating, and the trunk kept oozing green slime.
How disgusting!
Shen Yao Xing kept backing away, bumping into the tree trunk behind her. Her body stiffened, and she slowly turned her head. Sure enough, that green unknown liquid had stuck to her clothes. She hurriedly moved away and took out a handkerchief, frantically wiping the unknown substance from her shoulders and back.
At this moment, the fog thinned at a visible speed. Looking around, she found herself surrounded by trees oozing green slime.
Shen Yao Xing frowned slightly, picked up a wooden stick and poked at the dripping slime. She hesitated for a moment, then carefully placed the slime-covered stick under her nose. Although it looked disgusting, there was no pungent smell. Instead, there was a faint fragrance.
She sniffed it repeatedly, unable to identify the scent. After removing the stick, her head felt dizzy for a moment. Shen Yao Xing raised her hand to press the corners of her eyes, which made her feel a bit better.
Now was not the time to be dealing with this.
Shen Yao Xing threw away the stick in her hand and continued walking forward. Strangely, the entire forest seemed to have quieted down, and no more odd creatures jumped out.
After walking leisurely for a while, Shen Yao Xing suddenly felt something was wrong. She felt the ground beneath her feet becoming increasingly soft, as if she were stepping on quicksand. Before she could react, her feet had already sunk in.
Damn! She had stepped into a swamp!
Shen Yao Xing reflexively struggled, trying to pull her feet out, but the more she struggled, the faster she sank. She froze her body, and by now her knees had already sunk in.
The speed of sinking slowed down. Shen Yao Xing swallowed hard, frantically thinking of ways to save herself. She tried to bend down and grab some weeds nearby, but before she could use them to pull herself out, the fragile weeds had already broken in half.
She could clearly feel the devouring force on her feet. She held her body still, a drop of cold sweat sliding down her forehead.
Talk about having the worst luck! Shen Yao Xing wanted to let out a long howl to the sky.
Returning to the capital was like Tang Sanzang’s journey to the West, having to go through eighty-one ordeals!
“What is Miss Shen doing?”
A slightly cold voice came from above. Shen Yao Xing looked up joyfully to see the man still in his snow-white clothes, holding a long sword in his right hand, standing high on a tree branch. The blood jade at his waist was particularly eye-catching.
Shen Yao Xing had never found this person so pleasing to the eye before. She immediately forgot about their past grievances and shamelessly reached out to him: “Big brother, big boss, beautiful sister, quick! Pull me up quickly!”
Shen Yao Xing spouted a string of flattering titles, but the person in the tree remained unmoved.
Jiang Ming Yue looked lightly at that hand, with fingers pink and delicate, just like those of pampered young masters. A faint hint of mockery curled at the corner of his lips: “Miss Shen’s skills are so impressive, how could she need Ming Yue’s assistance?”
By the time he finished his leisurely sigh, her legs were almost completely sunk. If he didn’t want to help, he should just say so directly, instead of putting on this act!
Ultimately, relying on oneself is better than relying on others. Shen Yao Xing gave up on seeking help and gritted her teeth as she slowly crawled forward. Her mind vaguely recalled those self-rescue methods. Not caring about dirtying her clothes and face, she slowly pulled out one of her feet. Overjoyed, she used the same method to rescue her other foot.
Throughout this, Jiang Ming Yue stood on the tree, neither offering help nor turning to leave. His cold gaze was like watching an ant struggling in the mud, without a hint of warmth in his eyes.
Shen Yao Xing, who had finally crawled out of the swamp, stood up unsteadily, almost unable to resist giving the middle finger to the person in the tree. However, what concerned her more now was the dirt all over her body, which made her feel extremely uncomfortable.
Shen Yao Xing wanted to raise her sleeve to wipe her face, but remembering that her sleeves were also very dirty, she had to give up.
The man in the tree lightly jumped down, standing five steps away from her, and said softly, “Wasn’t Miss Shen already ahead? How did you end up here?”
Huh, none of your business.
Shen Yao Xing didn’t want to pay any attention to him at all, but considering that she was now lost as well, and this person might be able to lead her out, she reluctantly adjusted her attitude. She forced a smile: “Um… are you also lost in here?”
If he said yes, she would turn and leave immediately.
The man smiled faintly: “Of course not.”
“That’s great, let’s get out of here quickly!”
Jiang Ming Yue remained silent, his eyes slightly turning to scan the mud on her lower body: “So Miss Shen actually got lost here?”
“……” Why did it feel so annoying when he said it? Shen Yao Xing forced a dry smile, and under the man’s gaze, she could only nod stiffly.
The corner of Jiang Ming Yue’s lips curved up slightly, and he said no more, turning to walk slowly in one direction.
Shen Yao Xing changed her expression the moment the man turned around, her mouth turning down, her face full of displeasure. She looked down and shook her sleeve in disgust, flinging off a large lump of mud. Seeing that the man’s figure was about to disappear into the mist, she hurriedly followed.
The two didn’t speak to each other along the way, until the man’s figure stopped. Shen Yao Xing hesitated for a moment, then dawdled behind him and said, “Um… didn’t you say we could get out?”

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.
