"Big news! Do you know about our company's new chief assistant, Fan Xia? I heard she's a top student from the Imperial Capital University, and she's a woman." In the administrative department of Shanhai Group, the huge office area was divided into neat and orderly squares, but even so, it couldn't reduce the employees' enthusiasm for gossip.

Soon, countless people responded in the chat group: "A woman? I don't believe it! Didn't the CEO never hire female chief assistants to avoid suspicion? If it weren't for the previous male assistant getting old and wanting to go home to have a baby, why would the CEO look for a new assistant?"

"It's true, why would I lie to you? This morning, I went to report to the senior management with my supervisor and saw the new chief assistant with my own eyes. Wow~~" The person who broke the news covered his heart, his face turning red just thinking about the new chief assistant's appearance. "I've never seen such a good-looking woman, who can even be described as beautiful. The deer in my heart is about to die from crashing!"

"Look at you, how unambitious. Is she that good-looking? Can she be as good-looking as the current popular actress?" someone said in the group.

"Don't doubt me, I secretly took a photo." The person who broke the news sent the secretly taken photo he treasured in his phone to the group.

In the photo, Fan Xia was about 25 or 26 years old, wearing a simple and loose white shirt with the sleeves casually rolled up to the elbows. Her soft long hair was scattered, her fair skin and eyes were gentle and affectionate. Just a casual side profile stood out among a group of executives and shareholders in suits, with a remote and otherworldly temperament.

In the female-dominant society, male beauty was the main focus of consumption. Handsome men were everywhere, but beautiful women were the real top-level scarce resource.

"..." After the photo was sent out, the chat group fell silent for a few seconds, and then new messages and various emoticons poured out like a tidal wave.

"Ahh! Help! Does such a good-looking person really exist?"

"I'm going crazy! I'm going crazy!"

'Ah, help– my heart has been stabbed!'

'Ahh– Chief Assistant, please face me directly!'

"Get lost! Don't covet my wife!"

"To be honest, my wife is already in my bed!"

"Xiao, you're so shameless!"

Unlike his colleagues who were frantically admiring in the office, in a corner that could be considered remote, Wen Lan Sheng propped his chin with his hand. With a clean and handsome appearance, soft short black hair curling slightly like seaweed, eyes like being soaked in moonlight when he smiled, he tapped the desk with clean fingertips, watching with interest as the men in the chat group lusted after Fan Xia.

A group of flies who only dared to go crazy with desire over a secretly taken photo in a private chat group, completely unaware that the fiancé of the person in question was sitting right beside them. Watching their clownish behavior, Wen Lan Sheng felt no jealousy in his heart, but instead a sense of inexplicable pride.

The Fan Xia they couldn't get even if they begged had been dating him since high school, and they were going to hold an engagement ceremony next month.

Wen Lan Sheng could almost imagine the expression of these men, embarrassed beyond redemption, when he delivered the engagement invitation to them... Wen Lan Sheng laughed silently, the soft gaze in his eyes flashing with contempt as if looking at ants, and continued to do things with his head down.

"You're already familiar with the environment of the senior management. Next, I'll take you to see the CEO's office and your office area." Zhuang Nian, the CEO's personal male secretary, said to Fan Xia with a smile.

Fan Xia nodded slightly, her smile gentle and polite: "Thank you for your trouble."

"No, no trouble. Come with me." Zhuang Nian secretly clenched the folder in his hand, surprised that he, a veteran of the workplace, would also stutter when facing a woman.

But... Zhuang Nian couldn't help but take another secret glance at Fan Xia. The unstained white shirt on her body had a light and watery temperament, but it was particularly alluring and vivid. Every move unknowingly exuded a strong attraction, making people linger and unable to resist peeping again and again.

Who would have thought that such a perfect person had lost her parents when she was thirteen years old and grew up in an orphanage? She must have suffered a lot of unknown hardships in these more than ten years.

Zhuang Nian, who had done a background check, felt a slight pity in his heart.

"This is our office area." Zhuang Nian led Fan Xia into a spacious office. At the end of the office was a tightly closed heavy wooden door with relief carvings.

"The CEO's office is inside." Zhuang Nian said, pointing to the tightly closed relief door. The thin morning light penetrated through the glass of the high-rise building, making it look even thicker.

Fan Xia walked closer to the door and looked closely at the relief carvings on it. Instead of the common Western patterns, it depicted mountains and peaks from traditional Chinese paintings. The natural coldness of the heavy wood made people feel the heavy majesty brought by the power center of the group as soon as they stood in front of it, as if the mountains and rivers were about to crush her in the next moment, making it hard to breathe.

"The CEO attended a banquet last night and should come later today. You can familiarize yourself first." After a simple introduction, Zhuang Nian handed Fan Xia some group manuals to familiarize herself with, while he prepared to start his daily work routine.

As a personal secretary, Zhuang Nian was mainly responsible for some trivial daily work, and more for CEO Rong Xiu's personal activities. Although it sounded like just being an assistant, only those who had been by the CEO's side knew how difficult it was to be a secretary to a workaholic CEO.

Shanhai Group was the largest private hospital group in the country. In Country H, public hospitals provided free medical care, but the quality of doctors was poor and beds were limited. To see a doctor, people had to queue for half a month, so the middle class and wealthy basically chose private hospitals to enjoy the top medical services.

Rong Xiu was the younger son of the former chairman of Shanhai Group, with an elder sister above him. Originally, the company should not have been inherited by him, a man, but his erratic sister was caught for bribery, which gave Rong Xiu the opportunity to take over.

In the three years since taking over the company, Rong Xiu's meticulousness was almost fanatical, and his obsession was almost harsh, but it was precisely because of this that he, a man, could stand firm in a society dominated by women.

According to the usual practice, CEO Rong Xiu attended a banquet and drank last night, so he should come to the company after nine o'clock today. Now it was only half past eight, and he had plenty of time to prepare. Confident, he pushed open the door, and Zhuang Nian's proper smile froze on his face: "CE- CEO?"

Fan Xia turned around and saw the tightly closed heavy door being pushed open. Among the countless documents piled up on the desk, Rong Xiu slowly raised his head, revealing a peerlessly handsome face. Wearing a well-tailored gun collar double-breasted suit, his slender and evenly-boned fingers rested lightly on the keyboard, a silver watch on his pale and indifferent wrist, reflecting cold and desolate shards of light in the morning rays.

The moment Rong Xiu raised his head, Fan Xia's gaze met his indifferent one. Then Rong Xiu's gaze shifted away from her, and he nonchalantly adjusted the rimless glasses on his high nose bridge, his dark eyes revealing a forbidding and lonely asceticism.

"Surprised?" He said to Zhuang Nian in a low voice, his voice slightly hoarse but deep.

"No, no, I'll go make you a cup of coffee." Zhuang Nian hurriedly ran out, but muttered in his heart, why did this big Buddha come so early today? There are no important meetings today, right?

With Zhuang Nian gone, the entire office seemed desolate, with only Rong Xiu and Fan Xia. Fan Xia was thinking about how to speak, but Rong Xiu took the lead.

"Just joined the company, are you used to it?" He closed his laptop, his evenly-boned fingers resting lightly and lazily on the smooth obsidian-like desk, but his eyes were downcast, playing with the watch on his wrist, not looking at her, seeming a little indifferent.

Fan Xia nodded slightly: "I'm used to it. Secretary Zhuang is very nice. He helped me get familiar with the company's environment and helped me a lot."

The fingertips fiddling with the watch paused slightly, and Rong Xiu's downcast eyes lifted a little. Even with the concealment of the rimless glasses, it was difficult to hide his superior and indifferent narrow eyes and clear gaze.

Looking closely, there was a tiny wine-red tear mole under the corner of his left eye. The slender and slightly raised end of his eyes was a bit deep. When getting close, one could smell the indifferent scent of cedar on him. It was hard to imagine what kind of charm would be revealed if he took off his ascetic and restrained glasses.

"He is a personal secretary." Rong Xiu said indifferently, his tone slightly cold like the thin snow of early winter.

"... Hmm?" Fan Xia didn't understand what he meant for a moment.

"Zhuang Nian is mainly responsible for my personal trivial matters. He can't help you much with work. If you have any difficulties..." Rong Xiu adjusted his exquisite rimless glasses again. His slender and even fingers lightly supported the frame, his lowered brows and eyes covering his indifferent and ascetic eyes. "You can come to me… After all, you are my junior."

Fan Xia was slightly surprised, and then her watery eyes overflowed with a faint smile. "I thought senior had already forgotten about a small person like me. After all, we haven't seen each other for so many years."

"Always remembered." Rong Xiu said very lightly, more gentle and light than the light penetrating the glass window. If it weren't for his cold expression and his usual emotionless eyes, one would have thought they heard a lingering and affectionate love confession.

"Not recognizing you at the interview was for fear that outsiders would think you got the job through connections." The aristocratic family education made him keep his waist and back straight throughout, as upright as a mountain, and as meticulous and decisive as his famous work style in the industry.

"Senior is still considerate." Fan Xia said, her voice filled with laughter.

"CEO, your coffee." Zhuang Nian came in with the coffee.

Rong Xiu glanced at the coffee on the table indifferently and said casually, "Leave it there and go back to work."

"Yes, then we'll go out first." Zhuang Nian retreated with relief, taking Fan Xia with him and not forgetting to close the door thoughtfully.

The heavy door closed, and the office became a closed space again. With the dark decorative style, it seemed dark even during the day, like a quiet and thick night.

In this silent and dim night, a satisfied sigh suddenly came out.

Rong Xiu's waist, which was as straight as a mountain, softened and sank into the black leather office chair. His slender and beautiful fingers rested on the Windsor knot at his collar, tugging at the tie with a bit of violence. The meticulous collar was pulled out into a few messy folds, revealing the tightly bound Adam's apple.

"Fan Xia..." Rong Xiu leaned back on the chair, his thin lips silently reciting her name. The rimless glasses were casually tossed aside, his sleeves covering his narrow and indifferent eyes, revealing his delicate and perfect jawline. His Adam's apple was no longer suppressed and restrained, sliding up and down at will. Under his ascetic and indifferent appearance, his palms were already wet with a layer of sweat. "Finally waited for you."

"Chief Assistant Fan, the company has an employee cafeteria with good food. You can go there often at noon." Zhuang Nian said beside Fan Xia while playing with his phone as lunch time approached.

"Xia Xia, how's your first day at work? Let's have lunch together. I'll wait for you in the employee cafeteria." A text message came, and Wen Lan Sheng even attached a cute emoticon.

Fan Xia stopped her work at hand and replied calmly, "Not bad, see you in the cafeteria."

At the same time, she responded to Zhuang Nian's kindness, "Secretary Zhuang, aren't you going?"

"I'm on a diet and made my own low-fat meal at home."

"What about the CEO?" Fan Xia asked.

Zhuang Nian waved his phone. "Aren't I ordering for him now? He has a picky taste as an aristocratic son. He basically doesn't go to the employee cafeteria to eat. Every day, I have to order dishes from the restaurants he likes."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the CEO's office opened, and Rong Xiu walked out while adjusting his suit cuffs.

"CEO." As soon as he saw Rong Xiu, Zhuang Nian's body stiffened. "What do you want to eat today? I'll order for you."

"No need, I'll go to the employee cafeteria." Rong Xiu's brows and eyes were distant.

"This- Aren't you…?" Zhuang Nian said in a somewhat dazed manner.

Rong Xiu finished adjusting his suit cuffs, his narrow eyes sweeping over him.

Zhuang Nian immediately shut up.

"What are you having for lunch?" Rong Xiu looked at Fan Xia, his tone that was a bit cold towards Zhuang Nian suddenly became gentle.

Fan Xia answered truthfully, "Going to the employee cafeteria."

"Together?" He asked with a faint gaze.

Having lunch with the top boss was beneficial for future work.

Fan Xia nodded. "Sure."

The two entered the elevator together, leaving a dumbfounded Zhuang Nian behind.

"Today is really weird. Why is the CEO acting so abnormal?" Zhuang Nian muttered in a low voice.

Taking advantage of the break, Fan Xia sent a message to Wen Lan Sheng: 'I can't have lunch with you at noon, sorry, I'll make it up to you when I get home.'

Wen Lan Sheng replied instantly: 'Okay, I know you have a lot of things to deal with on your first day at work. I'll make something delicious for you when you get home.' Along with a pitiful emoticon.

"Chatting with your boyfriend?" Rong Xiu's tone was as cold as usual, without any discernible emotion.

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:

Yuushil L's Reread List

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.
