Chapter 31: Slaughter
Seeing his casual and indifferent demeanor, the Luo matriarch became even more certain of her thoughts.
She narrowed her eyes, her voice seeming to squeeze through gritted teeth: “Was it you who did it?”
“Mm.”
She thought she had misheard. He actually admitted it so readily.
Her chest heaved greatly as she stared at him intently, her lips trembling: “Why? She was your second sister!”
After saying that, another matter flashed through her mind. Her eyes widened even more: “Then… the disappearance of Sheng’er two years ago, that was also your doing?”
She felt she didn’t even need to ask the answer anymore…
Luo Sheng?
Luo Shaoxuan tilted his head slightly: “Her… indeed, I did that too.”
As expected… How could he bring himself to do it? They were his elder and second sisters. How could there be such a vicious man? The Luo matriarch glared at him with scarlet eyes, shaking all over from rage. She gritted her teeth: “Then now she…”
Without seeing Luo Sheng’s corpse, she still held a glimmer of hope.
“Mother, you wish to see her?” He didn’t answer her question, asking her with interest.
“Where is she?!”
The Luo matriarch got agitated and wanted to grab his collar, but was kicked to the ground by Luo Shaoxuan.
Luo Shaoxuan remained composed, sitting in his chair. He lowered his gaze, looking down at the woman kneeling and clutching her stomach on the ground. His voice was like cold ice: “Begging requires the attitude of a beggar. You don’t even understand this, Madam Luo?” He enunciated the last three words.
The person on the ground had her face slightly distorted from pain. She looked at him with vicious eyes: “You unfilial son, I truly underestimated you. If I had known earlier, I should have beaten you to death along with your father back then!”
This was like a wound that was difficult to heal being cruelly torn open. That scene from back then was deeply engraved in his bones, his recurring nightmare.
And the woman in front of him was the source that created this nightmare for him.
He bent down and pulled her hair back. The corners of his narrow eyes carried a hint of malice: “Yes, I truly must thank you for that momentary mercy…”
His voice seemed to elongate with a tone of exclamation at the end. Suddenly, he lowered his gaze and looked at her without any emotion: “Unfortunately, you think too highly of yourselves, not knowing the consequences of raising a tiger.”
The cold killing intent in his eyes seemed about to materialize. Seeing his crazed appearance, only now did the Luo matriarch feel afraid: “You… what do you want to do? Don’t tell me you want to commit matricide!”
Luo Shaoxuan released his grip on her hair and stood up, coldly looking down at her.
Seeing his appearance, she only felt a chill down her spine. This unfilial son was capable of killing his own sisters, a complete madman! Once free, she immediately crawled backward on all fours, shouting: “Someone come! Someone! Seize this unfilial son! Seize him!”
Unfortunately, no matter how she shouted, not a single person appeared.
Luo Shaoxuan looked at her expressionlessly, finding it foolish and dull. Why did everyone look the same when struggling on the verge of death? “I advise you to save your strength, Mother.” He paused for a moment, deliberately calling her Mother with a smirk.
The Luo matriarch’s hands and feet had already gone a bit soft. She looked at him with fear and resentment in her eyes. He must have gone mad! He actually wanted to commit matricide!
His eyes looked at her mercilessly as he took two steps closer to her.
The Luo matriarch got even more frightened and hurriedly retreated: “You can’t kill me, I’m your mother!”
“Oh?” He paused his steps.
Seeing that he indeed halted in place, the Luo matriarch’s face showed a glimmer of delight: “Xuan’er, I’ve treated you well all these years. Besides, if the world finds out you committed matricide, you’ll surely be despised!” As she spoke, she slowly moved her hands behind her back.
Luo Shaoxuan seemed not to notice her movements, as if pondering her words.
“Xuan’er, think about it. If you’re despised by the world in the future, how will you be together with your beloved? As long as you spare me, Mother will act as if today never happened, alright?” She said while secretly approaching Luo Shaoxuan.
She knew he liked that Doctor Si. Saying this, he would certainly be moved.
Luo Shaoxuan still had a contemplative look.
When she was only about three feet away from him, a vicious glint flashed in the Luo matriarch’s eyes. The dagger hidden behind her back fiercely stabbed towards him, fast and ruthless, without any hesitation.
But Luo Shaoxuan was even faster than her. Before the dagger could land, he raised his foot and viciously kicked her in the stomach.
The kick sent her flying, falling to the ground and spitting out a mouthful of blood. The dagger also dropped to the ground.
Luo Shaoxuan’s face was cold and terrifying as he walked towards her step by step: “Mother really never learns.”
She didn’t expect his reaction to be so fast. Seeing him approaching step by step, the Luo matriarch felt her whole body trembling. She retreated in horror: “You can’t kill me, this is matricide! An unfilial act!”
“Heh, Mother has always suspected I’m not your child, right?”
The Luo matriarch was an inherently suspicious woman. Greed and vanity made her suspect he wasn’t her child ever since she discovered Luo Shaoxuan’s father was pregnant with someone else’s child. He had always been a thorn in her heart.
She had always wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible.
“How can you blame me for that?! If your father hadn’t been unfaithful, cheating and even getting pregnant with a bastard, how would I have treated him like that?!” After saying that, she put on a pitiful act: “Xuan’er, forgive Mother. Let Mother make it up to you.”
Luo Shaoxuan looked coldly at her hypocritical face, not understanding why his father would marry such a foolish and cowardly woman.
“You always say Father betrayed you. Do you know whose child Father was pregnant with at that time?”
Whose was it?
How would she know whose child that adulterer got from cheating? When she found out back then, she was burning with rage, only wanting to beat him to death without listening to his explanations.
And he didn’t explain at the time. She just assumed he was guilty and had no explanation.
Looking at the man she had always viewed as a thorn in her side, she only felt a bad premonition in her heart.
Luo Shaoxuan looked at her with cold eyes, his red lips parting: “It was your daughter Luo Sheng’s child.”
Wh-what?
She only felt her head buzz, her mind going blank.
He continued: “Back then, your daughter ra*ped my father and even got him pregnant. Yet you didn’t give Father a single chance to explain and just beat him to death like that.”
“No, impossible…” She didn’t believe it.
Luo Shaoxuan couldn’t care less whether she believed it or not. He looked at her coldly: “Father died so miserably before my eyes. Don’t you think I should take revenge on you all?”
The Luo matriarch swallowed. At this moment, the fear of death was greater than anything else. She didn’t want to die yet. She hadn’t enjoyed enough of this glory and wealth!
The instinct for survival made her forget everything. She knelt down with a thud in front of Luo Shaoxuan, begging him: “Mother was wrong, it was Mother’s fault. Forgive Mother, won’t you? Xuan’er, forgive Mother!”
The person who was usually high and mighty now begged for her life without any dignity.
Luo Shaoxuan’s phoenix eyes were unmoved.
“Alright, I’ll spare your life.” He said this.
Before the person on the ground could feel any joy, he added: “If I see you after tomorrow, don’t blame me.”
What did he mean?
Hearing this, her face distorted for a moment: “You’re telling me to leave the Luo residence?” Her tone seemed even harder to accept than if he killed her.
“What? You’re not happy with that?”
“I…” She lowered her head, her face becoming even more distorted. All the wealth here originally belonged to her. He was actually telling her to leave!
But rebelling against him now was definitely not a wise move. No matter, she still had a day. By then, she would have a way to make him wish he were dead! Thinking of this, she raised her head again with a face full of false gratitude: “Alright, alright, I will definitely leave tomorrow!”
“Heh.”
Luo Shaoxuan laughed coldly. After looking down at her again, he turned and left the garden.
The gaze behind him turned into that of a venomous snake the moment he turned around, filled with hatred and viciousness.
……
As soon as Luo Shaoxuan returned to his own courtyard, Qing Bo silently appeared beside her and bowed to him. Qing Bo’s voice was like gravel stuck in the throat: “Master, the other people in the mansion have been restrained. What should be done next?”
“Make a trip to the Hou Residence.” After saying that, he paused for a moment and smirked: “Bring the gu worms along too.”
“Understood.” With that, Qing Bo disappeared.
…
Night at the Hou Residence
At this time, Mu Yueshi was in her bedchamber, tumbling in the clouds and rain with her personal attendant. The events of the day seemed to have no effect on her.
Inside the gauze curtains, two figures were intertwined, making titillating sounds.
A figure appeared by the bedside, watching expressionlessly as the two on the bed tumbled in the clouds and rain.
The two were already immersed in their passion, completely unaware of the person outside the curtains.
It was only when the personal attendant beneath her opened his hazy, watery eyes and inadvertently swept his gaze towards the edge of the bed that he suddenly widened his eyes and let out a scream, hurriedly burrowing into Mu Yueshi’s embrace.
Mu Yueshi let out a grunt from his scream, collapsing on top of him.
Qing Bo directly separated the two, knocking out the personal attendant, then pressed Mu Yueshi’s acupoints.
Mu Yueshi looked at her with terror, unable to move or speak.
This feeling frightened her immensely. Who was this person? What did she want to do?
Qing Bo was seen taking out a small jar and pinching out the gu worms inside.
Seeing the frantically wriggling worms in her hand, Mu Yueshi was even more terrified. She wanted to call for help, but couldn’t even make a sound. She tried to look at her with pleading eyes. Whatever you want, I can give it to you. Just don’t kill me.
Unfortunately, Qing Bo didn’t even spare her a glance. She placed the squirming gu worms under Mu Yueshi’s nose. Watching the worms struggle, they instantly burrowed into her nostrils.
Mu Yueshi could even feel the worms crawling from her nose all the way into her brain. A sharp, piercing pain made Mu Yueshi’s eyes roll back. This pain made her want to scream, but she could only make short, grunting sounds as her body convulsed.
Qing Bo watched her expressionlessly until she stopped moving.
Seeing her eyes open without a trace of life, Qing Bo knew it was successful: “Get up.”
The body, like a puppet, slowly moved and stood up beside Qing Bo, one movement at a time.
Qing Bo raised her curved blade and chopped towards the unconscious personal attendant on the bed without any hesitation.
…
“What did you say?!” Madam Liu looked at the Luo matriarch with scarlet eyes: “You said Sheng’er and Yi’er were both killed by that wretch?!”
The Luo matriarch looked at the candlelight and nodded heavily.
Madam Liu’s face was hideous, as if possessed by an evil spirit, filled with towering hatred and resentment: “That wretch… that wretch!” He screamed.
“How dare he… I want to dismember him, make him wish he were dead!” Screaming, he wanted to rush out.
Fortunately, the Luo matriarch grabbed him from behind: “Calm down. I can’t beat him, so how can you?!”
Madam Liu resentfully flung her hand away and roared: “How do you expect me to calm down? He killed my two daughters, my two daughters!!!” With that, he no longer paid her any mind and rushed out.
The Luo matriarch glanced gloomily at his retreating figure and sat heavily in a chair. She never thought Luo Shaoxuan would be so capable as to make everyone in the mansion obey him.
Now who else could she find?
Suddenly, her eyes lit up fiercely. That’s right, there was still the Princess: “Yes, I must go find the Princess.” With that, she hurriedly ran out.
As soon as she exited the courtyard, she saw a figure standing ahead, surprisingly holding a sword in hand. She could even see blood dripping from the tip of the sword.
The Luo matriarch collapsed directly to the ground in fright, looking at the figure walking slowly towards her step by step with extreme terror. The walking posture was a bit stiff and unnatural.
When the figure was less than three feet away, she saw her face clearly. Her eyes suddenly widened: “Prin…”
Before she could finish, her head hit the ground.
The figure carried the blood-dripping long sword and slowly walked towards the other residences of the Luo Mansion.
Luo Shaoxuan wore his inner robes, his silky black hair cascading over his shoulders. He leaned against the bedside, playing with a wooden hairpin in his hand. Listening to the incessant screams and pleas for mercy outside, a smile lingered on his lips.

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.
