Chapter 53 Displeasure
In the morning, Si Qingyu prepared breakfast and was about to return to the bedroom to wake up the person still sleeping.
“Shaoxuan, it’s time to get up and have breakfast.” Si Qingyu pushed open the door to the bedroom and looked towards the bed. Through the hazy, light curtains, she could see the person inside with an exposed upper body and a silk quilt covering below the waist.
The light curtains on the bed trembled slightly, and the person inside lifted them, revealing his slightly lazy eyes that had just woken up. His exquisite collarbones and v-line were covered with red marks.
At this moment, he was sitting sideways on the bed, his elongated, beautiful eyes faintly revealing a trace of charm, making it impossible for people to stop their endless imagination.
Si Qingyu had already become accustomed to the enchanting sight in front of her. She considerately walked to the screen and took the clothes hanging on it to give to him. “Quickly put on your clothes and go out to eat breakfast.”
Luo Shaoxuan’s red lips were slightly pouting, and he childishly rubbed his eyes, reaching out a pair of jade arms towards her.
Sometimes Si Qingyu felt as if she had gained a son.
Sighing, Si Qingyu sat on the edge of the bed with the clothes and pushed away the body leaning close to her. She picked up the clothes and put them on him. The freshly awakened Luo Shaoxuan was like a child, allowing her to do as she pleased, his clear eyes staring at her without blinking.
He was enjoying this feeling of being pampered and doted on by her.
It simply made him unable to stop.
Si Qingyu lowered her head and tied the sash around his waist, holding his hand as he stepped down from the bed and smoothing out his clothes. “Alright, go and freshen up quickly.”
“Mm.” Luo Shaoxuan responded lazily, his eyes still slightly lowered, looking at her face.
Si Qingyu walked to the washbasin, dipped the silk handkerchief into the water, rubbed it a few times, took it out, wrung it dry, and spread it out on the edge of the basin. Si Qingyu had become proficient in doing these things. After preparing everything, she turned around and said to Luo Shaoxuan, who was standing by the bed watching her, “I’ve already prepared everything for you. Come out after you’re done washing up.”
Seeing him nod, Si Qingyu left the bedroom. The small dishes in the kitchen hadn’t been brought out yet.
Only after watching her close the door did Luo Shaoxuan withdraw his gaze. He slowly walked to the washbasin and looked at the reflected figure in the basin, the corner of his mouth lifting.
Luo Shaoxuan looked at the reflection in the water, his jade fingers lightly stroking the red marks on his neck, feeling a tingling numbness that made him involuntarily let out a soft moan.
“Shaoxuan, are you not done yet?” Si Qingyu’s voice came from outside the door.
“Coming right away.” He responded with a charming voice, his beautiful eyes filled with an enchanting color.
…
In the morning, the mountain forest seemed as if it had just woken up, and the chirping of the early birds had already begun to fill the ears.
The two sat by the stone table in the courtyard. Si Qingyu filled a bowl of congee and placed it in front of Luo Shaoxuan, the corners of her mouth curved into a faint smile. “Eat quickly.”
“Mm.” Luo Shaoxuan lowered his long eyelashes and took small sips of the plain congee.
Si Qingyu looked at him gently and smiled. She wiped her slightly wet hands and picked up the bowl of congee, taking a sip. Suddenly remembering something, she put down the bowl. “Shaoxuan, I have to go back to the medical hall today. There will be some dishes left for you at noon, so you can prepare them yourself.”
The man drinking the congee paused slightly, a flash of darkness passing through his lowered eyes. He pursed his lips and spoke softly, “Can’t you stay with me for a few more days?”
Why did she still have to go and manage those unnecessary things after they got married? Wasn’t it good with just the two of them?
A sense of gloom arose in Luo Shaoxuan’s heart, and his cheerful mood completely dissipated.
Knowing that he would be unhappy, Si Qingyu sighed. She hadn’t been to the medical hall for some time, and there must be some matters piled up waiting for her to handle. They couldn’t always be stuck together. She placed the small dish into his congee bowl. “Shaoxuan, I haven’t been to the medical hall for quite some time now. I should go back and take a look. You can wait for me at home.”
The man lowered his head slightly, his expression unclear. His lips moved a few times, but his voice was too soft to be heard clearly.
Si Qingyu leaned towards him. “Shaoxuan, what did you just say?”
Luo Shaoxuan raised his eyes and looked at her indifferently, his fingers tightly grasping the congee spoon. “Nothing.”
Si Qingyu reached out and gently stroked his silky black hair, seeing his slightly pursed lips with a hint of faint grievance, making her heart ache. “How about I promise to come back early?”
Although Luo Shaoxuan was still very displeased in his heart, he knew that since she had already decided, he definitely couldn’t make her stay. He held the hand stroking his hair and brought it to his lips, gently kissing it. “Alright, I’ll prepare the meal and wait for you then.”
“So remember to come back early.”
It’s fine, Luo Shaoxuan told himself. Her heart was already with him, and he needed to take it slow.
Si Qingyu smiled gently. “Alright.”
After they finished breakfast, Si Qingyu coaxed the man whose expression was clearly unhappy for a while before taking the medicinal herbs that had been dried a few days ago and leaving.
Luo Shaoxuan stood at the courtyard gate, watching her until the woman’s figure disappeared from his sight. Only then did the smile that had been hanging on the corners of his mouth fade away.
The tenderness in his eyes was no longer there. At this moment, Luo Shaoxuan was his true self. His voice was no longer sweet like when he was in front of Si Qingyu, but cold and bone-chilling, without a trace of emotion. “Qingpo.”
“This subordinate is here.” A woman who had been hiding in the dark for a long time knelt beside him.
Luo Shaoxuan’s beautiful eyes looked distantly in the direction the woman had disappeared, his fingers gently caressing. His red lips parted slightly. “Follow her… protect her.”
“Understood.” The woman retreated.
A leaf drifted onto Luo Shaoxuan’s shoulder. He moved his hand slightly to pick up the leaf, his gaze cold as he looked at the leaf in his hand. With a cold snort, he crushed it.
…
On the other side, as soon as Si Qingyu arrived at the town, she was surrounded by the enthusiasm of the townspeople, making her, who hadn’t left the house for many days, feel somewhat at a loss.
The townspeople circled around her, their faces filled with kind smiles that made it impossible for her to get angry.
“Doctor Si, congratulations on your marriage, what a joyous occasion!”

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.
