Chapter 73 Two-in-One
Due to this explosive post, many of the insults and questions about Rong Xiu on the internet decreased the next day. Instead, people turned to criticize Wen Lan Sheng for being wrong and using netizens’ sympathy as a weapon. Seeing this situation, Rong Xiu curled his lips in satisfaction. To defeat the enemy, one must disintegrate them from within, making them fight among themselves.
“Young master, this is freshly stewed corn and pork rib soup. It’s nourishing and good for the digestive system,” the servant brought up a steaming bowl of soup.
Rong Xiu had grown tired of hot soups these past few days, but for the sake of the child in his belly, he had to endure even if he was tired of it.
He slowly scooped a spoonful of soup and put it in his mouth. The taste of the soup was very bland, seemingly with barely any salt added. Rong Xiu frowned.
The servant quickly said, “Young master, too much salt is not good for your health.”
Not good for health meant not good for the child. Rong Xiu endured again, forcing himself to drink a mouthful, and asked, “When did Fan Xia leave?”
“Miss Fan left early this morning. She specifically instructed me to be quiet so as not to wake you up. She also said I must make sure you finish this bowl of corn and pork rib soup,” the servant said.
A hint of a smile appeared in Rong Xiu’s upturned eyes. He drank all the soup in the bowl in one go and sent a message to Zhuang Nian, telling the public relations department to launch the second move – expose Wen Lan Sheng’s photos.
A man’s face is his greatest asset in pleasing women, the same goes for mistresses.
Even those men on the internet who utterly despised Rong Xiu for being lowly had to admit that Rong Xiu was born with good looks. Online men are extremely picky about male celebrities’ appearances and physiques, to the point of pursuing a pathologically deformed degree where even shoulders must be right-angled to be considered a great beauty. However, when it came to Rong Xiu’s face, it was hard to find fault.
Since the photos of him, the mistress, were already spreading wildly on the internet, how could the original wife’s photos be left out? Everyone has a scale in their hearts, and only with comparison can there be contrast.
Soon, the Four-Leaf Clover forum published another post.
[I’ll also join in on the buzz and talk about someone I know who’s recently become very popular]Whether the content in the post was true or not, netizens had no way to verify, but the leaked photos of Wen Lan Sheng quickly spread across the internet.
“Wow, is this the original poster’s true appearance? Although she’s considered pretty, she’s really far behind compared to Rong Xiu.”
“As someone who previously supported the original poster, I now have mixed feelings. The original family is bloodsucking compared to the mistress’s better family background, being a full-time homemaker compared to the mistress’s financial independence, and even in terms of looks, she’s just average and not as good-looking as the mistress. The comparison is too cruel. If I were a woman, I’d definitely choose the mistress. Indeed, men really need to be independent. Don’t think you can relax after getting married. You still need to go out to work, take care of yourself, exercise, and always maintain your best condition.”
“To the one above, it’s not wrong for the original poster to wholeheartedly be a homemaker. Not everyone needs to be a career powerhouse, and don’t you know how discriminatory the workplace is against men now? After 25, many companies don’t want men anymore, fearing the burden of maternity leave.”
“Exactly, on one hand, they want men to have children and take care of family matters, on the other hand, they want men to beautify themselves, stay fit, and be as beautiful as flowers. Which man can do all that?”
“Responding to the one above, Rong Xiu can do it, that’s why he’s in a higher position now.”
“……”
“Well, not talking about the original wife or mistress, doesn’t anyone think Rong Xiu really looks very good? Haha, I asked my girlfriend, if the original wife and mistress stood together, who would she choose, she didn’t hesitate and directly chose Rong Xiu.”
“Help, my girlfriend is the same. It seems that Rong Xiu’s type of looks is really attractive to women. The women around me all think Rong Xiu looks better. They say he has a kind of silent seductiveness that attracts women, abstinent yet seductive, both restrained and desirable.”
“Ah yes yes yes, women around generally think the mistress’s looks are exceptional. Women’s sense of morality is very low, they don’t care if you’re a mistress or if the original wife is pitiful, they only look at appearances. Rong Xiu’s face is really a killer weapon. I kind of want to learn his makeup.”
“LOL, there are already beauty bloggers on a certain platform doing Rong Xiu’s abstinent style makeup tutorials. Go check it out, the view count has already exceeded a million.”
“Damn, I’m going right now.”
“I’m so done with you bunch of men. On one hand, you’re denouncing Rong Xiu, on the other hand, you’re frantically wanting to become Rong Xiu. Have you forgotten that the essence of this matter is infidelity?”
But such voices became as small as dust in the flood-like praise for Rong Xiu’s appearance, crushed by the giant waves, not a sound could be heard.
Soon, the hashtag #RongXiuAbstinentMakeup# surpassed #RongXiuMistress# to reach the top of the hot search. Rong Xiu’s abstinent style makeup tutorials were all over the internet. His face shape, eye shape, lip shape, and even the small tear mole at the corner of his eye were meticulously analyzed by beauty bloggers. Later, it even evolved into ‘wealthy young master makeup’, and some people even started learning his ‘noble aura dressing’.
When a serious ethical incident is entertainment-ized, its original form becomes unclear.
And because of this wide-ranging discussion of entertainment-ized makeup, it even drove the prosperity of the plastic surgery department under the Shanhai Group. Those who initially clamored for Rong Xiu to get out of the Shanhai Group, those who said they felt sick just looking at Rong Xiu, were now eager to enter the plastic surgery hospitals, eager to become him. This led to a rise in the stock prices of subsidiary companies.
Therefore, although it looked chaotic outside, the board members were delighted, counting money until their hands cramped.
In a damp and cramped single rental room, a shabby room without a single window, filled with a musty smell of rotten wood, the glaring light from the mobile phone illuminated the dark room. On Wen Lan Sheng’s eyes, full of red bloodshots, it was like a beam of light shining on two bloody hollow eyes, the strong light making his face look ferocious.
“It’s impossible!”
“Why is it like this? How did it suddenly change?”
“He’s clearly the mistress, he ruined my family and my happiness, why aren’t they scolding him anymore?”

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.
