Content warning: This story involves a matriarchal society and female-led relationships.
Mr. Ye: Beneath the layers of my domineering facade lies a pitiful, lowly heart.
Mr. Lu: Sisters, feel sorry for a man and you’ll have bad luck for the rest of your life!
Mr. Ye: How can someone who’s seen the light accept the darkness?
Mr. Lu: Sisters, we’re in a matriarchal country. I’ll take every policy that favors women, and I won’t even look at the policies that favor men!
Mr. Ye: If you’ve got the nerve, just kill me!
Mr. Lu: You’re always yelling at me to kill you, so I know you’re not afraid of dying. But are you afraid of wishing you were dead?
The serious blurb: The male and female leads are at odds from the moment they meet. There won’t be any plot where a man keeps a woman. The entire story stays true to the matriarchal setting. I don’t know if the heroine is strong, but she is definitely respected. If you can’t accept even a little disrespect, don’t read it. If you can, then go ahead. Don’t skim it, or it might affect your worldview.
As for whether a woman keeps a man, that remains to be seen. The audience might not consider it much pampering, but the male lead might think it’s the highest honor.
