Chapter 91 Finale
Fan Xia never imagined that her younger brother, whom she had watched grow up since childhood, would develop unusual feelings for her. It wasn’t until Gu Jin Yi became delirious with fever, murmuring her name, that she finally realized. She also began to understand why, on that day when Rong Xiu came to Gu Jin Yi’s home, the three men all seemed to dislike each other.
Not to mention that she was already married, and Rong Xiu was carrying her child with great effort. Even if Fan Xia were single, she wouldn’t choose Gu Jin Yi. She had always clearly defined her relationships, and she would never engage in affairs with those close to her.
During this time, as she stayed in the apartment to take care of Jin Yi, she was also considering how to gently reject him without hurting the sensitive self-esteem of the boy.
This led to her current explanation.
Gu Jin Yi’s face changed instantly. Having his youthful feelings exposed, his face alternated between red and white, feeling ashamed and distressed. His fists tightly gripped the blanket.
“Fan elder sister.” Gu Jin Yi’s lips quivered, wanting to say something more to win Fan Xia back, but it seemed more like a struggle.
Fan Xia’s tone was gentle, but her attitude was extremely firm and unshakeable.
“Your brother-in-law knows that you’ve been hurt by cyberbullying recently, so he specifically made this apartment available for you to stay. He… he’s very good to you. I’ve been neglecting your brother-in-law while staying with you all this time. I need to go back and take care of him. As for here, you can stay as long as you want. Rong Xiu won’t mind.”
Gu Jin Yi’s tightly clenched hands slowly relaxed, hanging limply at his sides.
“Well then, I’ll be going now.” Fan Xia ruffled Jin Yi’s short hair, leaving without any hesitation.
As soon as Fan Xia left, the room suddenly felt empty. It was as if an invisible cold wind was blowing against him. Gu Jin Yi wrapped himself tightly in the blanket, his figure even more desolate in the wind and snow.
After leaving the Guanhai Apartment, Fan Xia opened her chat records with the servants.
During Fan Xia’s one-sided ‘cold war’, she hadn’t been home for nearly a month, but through the servants’ reports, she knew about Rong Xiu’s daily life, even down to what he ate for his three meals each day.
The servants said that after she left, Rong Xiu still ate as usual, even more actively than before. In the past, he was a bit picky with his young master’s temperament, but now he would eat whatever was good for the child. Even if it was food he disliked the most, he would grit his teeth and force it down, being unusually proactive.
However, apart from actively cooperating with his diet, Rong Xiu was more reclusive than usual. Sometimes he wouldn’t say a word all day, shutting himself in his room after meals, or sitting blankly in the living room, staring out the floor-to-ceiling windows at the falling snow, lost in lonely thoughts.
Each time she read this, Fan Xia would sigh. A month was enough; torturing Rong Xiu was also torturing herself. If it went on any longer, she couldn’t bear it.
She didn’t notify the servants and drove back to the villa.
When the servants saw Fan Xia, they were surprised and delighted: “Madam, you’re back?!”
Fan Xia put her finger to her lips, making a gesture of silence, looked at the empty living room, and asked, “Where’s Rong Xiu?”
The servant lowered her voice and said, “Upstairs. The young master had dinner and then shut himself in his room without coming out.”
Fan Xia nodded, brushing off the snow that had fallen on her shoulders, and said, “I’ll go up and see him.”
She climbed the stairs, holding the banister, her steps light. Because the stairs were covered with thick carpets, she made almost no sound.
When she reached the door, it wasn’t fully closed, leaving a slight gap. Peering through the crack, the inside was dark, with the bed curtains closed. Only a faint light seeped through where the two window curtains met, a pale, cold snow-blue color.
Rong Xiu sat on the edge of the bed with his back to her. His head was lowered, so she couldn’t see his expression. The room was so quiet it was oppressive, as if someone was being choked.
Fan Xia took two steps forward.
“Who’s there?” Just as Rong Xiu heard the movement and was about to turn around, she removed his gold-rimmed glasses and covered his eyes with her palm.
Rong Xiu’s head instinctively tilted back, resting against her chest.
“Don’t move.” Fan Xia covered his eyes with one hand and supported his waist with the other.
“…Fan Xia?” Rong Xiu’s lips trembled, as if he couldn’t believe it.
“I’m not Fan Xia, I’m here to rob. Is there anyone else at home?” Fan Xia said.
Rong Xiu bit his lip, his thin back trembling slightly, and said, “Yes, my wife-master.”
Fan Xia lowered her head, looking at the lower half of Rong Xiu’s face that wasn’t covered. The curve of his jawline was smooth and beautiful, his fair skin like that of a porcelain doll, exquisite yet fragile.
“Your wife-master? I didn’t see her. Where is she?”
Rong Xiu’s pale lips quivered weakly: “She’s in another man’s bed… She doesn’t want me anymore.”
His voice was choked with tears. Fan Xia felt her palm become very hot and wet as tears seeped through the cracks between her fingers.
Fan Xia bent down and kissed his forehead tenderly: “Such a beautiful husband, yet your wife-master could bear to leave you alone at home. What a waste.”
“It’s my fault, I deserve it.” Rong Xiu’s fingers twisted the bedsheet, his fingertips turning white from the force, causing pain.
Fan Xia released her hand and held Rong Xiu in her arms, caressing his trembling body. “I’m sorry, I made you feel insecure.”
Men during pregnancy are already in their most emotionally sensitive period. She shouldn’t have gotten too close to Jin Yi, causing him to misunderstand. Extreme love breeds jealousy, leading him to do things regardless of the consequences.
“…Fan Xia-” Rong Xiu cried and hugged her. It was only then that Fan Xia saw how haggard this man had become in this short month. He was once a man who dominated the business world, invincible in all his endeavors.
“I’ve already cleared things up with Jin Yi. We’re just friends. If you don’t like it, I won’t associate with him anymore, okay?” Fan Xia caressed his haggard brows and eyes. The small wine-red tear mole below his left eye, which she once loved so much, had also rapidly dimmed over this past month.
Rong Xiu sobbed softly. In fact, he no longer cared whether Fan Xia maintained contact with Gu Jin Yi or not. This month of cold treatment had already made Rong Xiu feel worse than death.
Throughout this month, he had been thinking of Fan Xia constantly, regretting every moment why he had let jealousy blind him, pushing Gu Jin Yi to the brink and angering Fan Xia.
He wanted to call her, but feared she would find him annoying.

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.
