Chapter 54: Trying to Please
Darn it, she had forgotten about this matter when she got busy.
Si Qingyu rubbed her aching forehead, quickly organized the books on the medicine cabinet, and glanced at the letter on the desk. After a moment of hesitation, she placed it in the hidden compartment inside the cabinet.
The light in the clinic was almost gone. Si Qingyu tidied things up briefly, exited the clinic, and locked the door behind her.
As she turned around, about to hurry back, she noticed a figure at the corner of the street. For a moment, she thought it was Shaoxuan coming to find her, but the silhouette didn’t seem to match.
She narrowed her eyes and looked closer.
The figure also saw Si Qingyu and slowly walked towards her.
As the distance between them shortened, a youthful face was revealed. Si Qingyu finally saw clearly who it was – Li Tianyang?
What was he doing here so late?
But Si Qingyu had no time for him now and didn’t want to cause any more trouble. Without acknowledging the approaching youth, she directly went around him, intending to leave.
However, Li Tianyang’s outstretched arms blocked her way. The boy’s face looked gloomy and obsessed in the fading light.
Si Qingyu frowned impatiently. She really had no time to waste here with him. It would be too dark to see the road if she waited any longer. She directly walked past his open arms and took another path.
But the young man caught up and stopped her again. Li Tianyang tugged at her sleeve from behind, his voice crisp and urgent: “You… I won’t let you go!”
The moment he grabbed her sleeve, Si Qingyu tried to shake off his hand, but Li Tianyang held on even tighter, making it impossible to break free. She furrowed her brows, her voice cold: “Young Master Li, what are you doing?”
Li Tianyang bit his lower lip tightly, his eyes slightly red, but it was too dark for the person in front of him to see clearly.
He gripped Si Qingyu’s sleeve tightly, lowered his head slightly, and said nothing.
At this rate, it would be completely dark soon. If people saw the two of them pulling and tugging here, it would be troublesome. Not to mention, she was already a married woman now.
But no matter what, she couldn’t pull her sleeve back. It even made a slight tearing sound. Si Qingyu’s forehead began to ache dully. She sighed helplessly and rubbed her forehead: “Young Master Li, what exactly do you want to do? I really don’t have time to mess around with you.”
Li Tianyang bit his lower lip, raised his slightly reddened fox-like eyes, and stubbornly said: “I’m not messing around!”
“If that’s the case, then hurry up and let go of my sleeve.” The sleeve was about to be torn off. Si Qingyu tried to pull it back again but still couldn’t free it.
The young man across from her fell silent again, biting his lip and staring intently at where he held her sleeve.
Seeing that he wasn’t speaking, Si Qingyu’s patience with him was running out. She had already told him she was pressed for time, did he not understand?
Si Qingyu used her other hand to pry his fingers off one by one, shook the badly creased sleeve, turned around, and was about to leave.
Seeing how heartless she was, Li Tianyang’s fox-like eyes turned even redder. He choked back a sob, rushed over, and directly hugged her slender waist tightly from behind.
The sudden impact from behind caused Si Qingyu to stumble forward. She gasped, quickly pushed the young man away, a hint of anger appearing on her face, her brows icy cold: “Young Master Li, please conduct yourself with dignity.” She emphasized the last four words heavily.
Fortunately, there was no one else on this road besides them. Otherwise, if someone saw and word got back to that person at home, it would be troublesome.
Li Tianyang knew he had been too impulsive just now. He lowered his head, feeling a bit guilty, but upon careful thought, if she hadn’t treated him this way, how could he have been so impulsive? Thinking this way, Li Tianyang raised his head to look at her with some confidence: “I… I have something to discuss with you, why are you in such a hurry to leave!”
Si Qingyu was simply angered to the point of laughter by his self-righteous attitude. This person was simply being unreasonable. She impatiently averted her eyes to look towards the clinic, her voice cold: “Young Master Li, hurry up and say what you need to, I still need to rush home.”
Li Tianyang pouted aggrievedly: “Does he serve you very well?”
“What?” Si Qingyu looked at him, slightly dazed, not immediately understanding his question.
The young man lowered his head, fiddling with his fingers, his voice as soft as a mosquito’s buzz: “I can also serve you very well…”
Si Qingyu’s eye twitched. Looking at the embarrassed young man with his head lowered, she really didn’t want to pay him any mind.
She turned on her heel, not making a sound, and was about to leave.
“Wait!” The person behind her called out to her again.
Si Qingyu closed her eyes, suppressing the urge to clench her fists.
Li Tianyang walked around to face her, raised his head with hopeful fox-like eyes, and finally stated his purpose: “Qingyu, you should marry me too. I don’t mind serving you together with him.”
These past two days, he had been so upset by her marriage that he couldn’t even eat. He couldn’t accept it. He had liked her for so long, how could he let another man beat him to it! But now that they were married, he was helpless. Later, he had thought it through. It was perfectly normal for a woman to have three husbands and four concubines, not to mention someone as outstanding as her. He would definitely be happy marrying into her family. However, he wouldn’t let that lowly man step on his head.
Li Tianyang looked as if he was certain she would agree.
But Si Qingyu looked at him, feeling it was utterly absurd. She frowned deeply: “Young Master Li, what in the world are you talking about? I never planned to marry again.”
“Why? I said I don’t mind anymore!” He looked as if it was something she should be happy about, yet she wasn’t agreeing. Li Tianyang hurriedly listed the benefits of marrying him: “My family is very wealthy, and I’m the only son. If you marry me, my family’s money will be yours!”
Communicating with him was like facing an obstacle. Just as Si Qingyu was thinking about how to leave, the young man’s voice suddenly stopped, and his body softened, slowly falling backward.
Si Qingyu reflexively wanted to pull him up, but then a black shadow suddenly appeared beside him, steadily catching his falling body.
Si Qingyu looked at the woman dressed in all black. This… wasn’t this Shaoxuan’s secret guard? Why was she here?
Qingmo looked at her expressionlessly, her voice still hoarse: “The master saw that you had not returned for a long time and sent this subordinate to find you.”
“Oh…” Si Qingyu nodded slightly in realization. It seemed that the person at home was already very impatient. She pointed at the young man in Qingmo’s arms: “Then he…”
Before she could finish, Qingmo interrupted with an emotionless face: “This subordinate will send him back.”

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.
