Chapter 58: Concealment
“It seems that Miss Zhao has some misunderstanding about me?” The man’s tall figure stood at the entrance of the medical hall, looking at the girl indifferently.
When the man spoke, Zhao Sixi’s whole body trembled, although the man’s voice was soft and pleasant, it made her spine feel chilled.
She stood there stiffly, not even daring to look up at the person who came.
On the other hand, Si Qingyu, who was beside the medicine cabinet, looked at the man in slight surprise and put down the purple brush in her hand, walking over, “Why are you here?”
Today, Luo Shaoxuan was wearing a moon-colored robe similar to Si Qingyu’s, his dark hair was tied up high behind him, and the jade pendant that Si Qingyu had given him not long ago hung at his waist. At this moment, Luo Shaoxuan had an extra elegance compared to usual.
The two of them were wearing robes of the same color, with the same headdress, matching perfectly from top to bottom. Anyone could tell their relationship at a glance when they stood together.
Luo Shaoxuan reached out and tucked the strands of hair that had fallen on her shoulder behind her, his fingers gently caressing her earlobe. Feeling her body tremble slightly, he slowly spoke, “I didn’t want to stay at home alone.”
As soon as she left, his heart was anxiously yearning for her.
Si Qingyu grabbed the jade hand that was messing with her ear, glancing at Zhao Sixi who was standing to the side with her head lowered, not looking in their direction, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
She squeezed his jade hand, indicating for him to restrain himself.
Si Qingyu led him to sit by the tea table and poured him a cup of tea, “Since you’re here, sit for a while before going back.”
“No, I plan to go back with you later.” Luo Shaoxuan propped his chin with one hand, gazing at her indifferently, speaking as if it was a matter of course.
“Don’t be ridiculous, don’t tell me you’re going to sit and wait until the sun sets?”
“Mm.” He agreed without hesitation.
“……” Si Qingyu sighed, she couldn’t do anything about him, “Then sit for a while first, tell me when you’re tired.”
Luo Shaoxuan curled his lips into a sweet smile, gazing at her gently. Suddenly, he leaned towards her, not caring that there were others present, and directly bit her lips lightly, leaving a watery sheen.
Si Qingyu’s earlobes immediately turned hot, she glared at him slightly annoyed. She looked at Zhao Sixi who had been keeping her head down and cleared her throat, “Sixi, go and do your work.”
Zhao Sixi timidly raised her head and glanced at the man beside Si Qingyu, but was chilled by the man’s cold gaze and shivered again. She nodded vigorously at Si Qingyu, “Okay!” and hurriedly picked up the dried herbs and walked to the farthest spot from him.
Anyone could see from her behavior that she was very afraid of Luo Shaoxuan.
Si Qingyu raised her eyebrows slightly, her gaze sweeping over the two of them, finally looking at Luo Shaoxuan in confusion, “What? Did she offend you? Or did you scare her?” How come she’s like a mouse seeing a cat when she sees him?
Luo Shaoxuan glanced at the distant figure indifferently, his fingers circling the lid of the teacup, even a casual gesture was alluring, “Maybe I misunderstood Miss Zhao last time, so Miss Zhao is still angry.”
Angry?
She felt that Zhao Sixi was extremely scared.
The man’s eyes narrowed with a cold look as he glanced at the small figure, but his mouth spoke apologetic words, “Miss Zhao, don’t be angry, I was too rude last time, if there’s anything I offended you with, I apologize to Miss Zhao.”
Luo Shaoxuan sat there with a straight back, his face calm and noble. Although he spoke apologetic words, it made people feel that he didn’t have much sincerity.
But for some reason, Zhao Sixi heard a warning in his words. She felt that Young Master Luo’s gaze towards her was also filled with cold warning. She hurriedly waved her hand, “No, no, it was my fault last time, Young Master Luo, please don’t blame me…” Her voice got lower and lower towards the end, almost inaudible.
Si Qingyu had a somewhat confused look between her brows. Why did their words sound strange when she listened to them together, even though she could understand them separately?
She glanced indifferently at the girl in the distance, feeling that something was strange, but couldn’t say what was strange.
Si Qingyu grabbed the white jade hand reaching towards her and squeezed it in her palm, jokingly saying, “You, don’t scare her, she’s very timid, she can’t take scares.”
The hand in her palm trembled slightly and then recovered in an instant. Luo Shaoxuan glared at her as if he was upset, suddenly withdrawing his hand from hers, turning his face to the side, “How did I scare her, are you blaming me by saying that?”
Why is he angry again?
“I didn’t mean that, just, just a hypothetical…” Si Qingyu looked at the man’s angry side profile in some consternation. After finishing her words, she couldn’t help but rub her brow. What was she saying?
Luo Shaoxuan snorted coldly and turned his whole body to the side, not even giving her a glance.
Si Qingyu had a headache, those strange thoughts in her mind were thrown aside, only blaming herself for talking nonsense again and accidentally angering him.
She coaxed him in a fluster, circling to the front of him and half-squatting to look up at him from below, “Don’t be angry, I really didn’t mean it.”
Seeing that the man still ignored her, Si Qingyu secretly glanced at Zhao Sixi not far away. Seeing that she wasn’t looking over, she quickly kissed the back of his hand and looked up at him again, “Don’t be angry anymore, it’s not good for your body. I’ll go out with you later and buy you whatever you want.”
The man gave her a coquettish glare, not withdrawing his hand, his voice also much softer as if he was pouting, “Why do you need to buy for me, I can buy it myself.”
“Then… can you not be angry?”
Zhao Sixi, who was not far away, had been paying attention to their side. Hearing what Si Qingyu said, she couldn’t help but sigh. The current Physician Si was already completely under Young Master Luo’s control, her thoughts easily swayed by him.
After finally coaxing the man, Si Qingyu breathed a sigh of relief. The current Luo Shaoxuan really couldn’t be scolded or angered, he could get angry at the drop of a hat.
She brought the large biscuits on the medicine cabinet in front of him, “If you’re hungry, eat this first. I’ll take you out to eat later.”
Luo Shaoxuan looked at the half-thick biscuits with disdain, “What are these, so dry.”
“……” Even if it’s you, don’t say it out loud. Si Qingyu glanced at Zhao Sixi over there in embarrassment.
“……” Zhao Sixi, who was busy picking herbs not far away, felt like an arrow had struck her heart. She pursed her lips tightly, not daring to be angry or say anything.
Si Qingyu quickly took back the biscuits and put the pastries that she hadn’t finished eating today on the tea table in front of him, “Then eat the pastries first.”
“Mm.”

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.
