Chapter 2 Male Chauvinism

  The demonic husband is visiting our door repeatedly

  While the world's peach blossoms have faded in April, those in the mountain temple are just beginning to bloom luxuriantly.

  The flames of war cannot stop the spring breeze from sweeping away the green, and the peach blossoms are in full bloom. Xiao Huan Yue leaned against a peach tree, gazing at the ten-mile peach blossom forest, watching the peach blossoms dance with the spring wind, and her restless heart finally calmed down.

  Speechless, she lowered her head and looked at the out-of-place ancient costume shirt she was wearing. This was already her 300th time regretting it, regretting that she shouldn't have agreed to travel through time with her good friend, regretting that she shouldn't have believed in Fang Zhe's device.

  She knew that Fang Zhe was unreliable, but she didn't expect the consequences to be so severe.

  She not only lost the trail of her two good friends, but also came to a world of war and chaos that she had never heard of - the continent of Xianglong.

  After decades of war, there are currently over a dozen countries on the Xianglong continent, with four major powers having the most influence. The country where Xiao Huan Yue is located, Qing Lan, attaches great importance to military power and has the most advanced weapons on the continent; Luo Ying, on the other hand, values literature and produces many famous scholars. Nan Ren is a commercial nation and is the wealthiest country with the best business environment, but due to constant war, it only focuses on domestic commerce and does not trade with other countries. Chen Bi is known for producing beautiful women and has the most extensive network of spies across the continent. Each of the four major powers has its strengths, making it difficult for any one to dominate, and after centuries of friction, a delicate balance has formed, with each side restraining the others. Although there are conflicts, none of them want to engage in all-out war, so smaller countries become the victims of the struggle between the major powers, often bringing war to their doorsteps and causing their citizens to suffer. In short, chaos reigns!

  In a chaotic and unstable world, Xiao Huan Yue couldn't accept the craziness of this world. For some reason, the ratio of men to women on the Xiang Long continent was severely imbalanced, with many more men than women, resulting in most women having multiple husbands. In order to procreate, men were usually the ones who went out to make a living, while women were generally kept at home and only responsible for giving birth to offspring. In this male-dominated world, men would often use their family property or a special skill as dowry in order to marry a wife, while those men without any skills could only spend their lives alone, even if they had a wife, she would be taken away by others.

  Don't think that being a woman is comfortable, here, women are precious and pampered, but only to a certain extent. In a male-dominated society, it's rare for women to go out and work, let alone become officials in the imperial court. Women are often spoiled when they're young, with the expectation of having a healthy body, and after growing up, their main role is to marry and give birth. Having children becomes their only purpose, although those who have talent can choose whether or not to have children. They don't need to learn anything like music, chess, books, or painting, as long as they have good looks, they can wait for a marriage proposal and live a life without worrying about food and clothing. However, due to women's lack of social status, they often become valuable objects given to others. Some officials would introduce their wives to higher-ranking officials in order to curry favor, and it's an honor to share a wife with them. Between countries, if one country loses a war, not only do they have to cede territory and pay indemnities, but they also have to offer up young and beautiful women. Women are more precious than gold.

  Moreover, since women are scarce in society, even if a woman commits a serious crime, she will not be put to death, but will be assigned to several men for the sole purpose of childbirth, without any choice, which is the heaviest punishment for women.

  The whole thing is a pampered and privileged mother pig, no wonder those four bastards would be so excited to grab women. What a crazy world, treating women like this, the women here are even more miserable than the ancient women who were inferior to men! Xiao Huan Yue was shocked and stunned after inquiring about these things in a roundabout way.

  The harsh environment here exceeded her imagination, how could she live here for three months? Thinking of the past two days in the military camp, those overly fervent gazes, the general's frivolous words, and the hints in casual conversations that wanted to introduce her to the general, all made her extremely disgusted.

  Bastard, what does he take her for! If it weren't for the fact that she would return to modern times three months later, she must make those sexist pigs who treat women as objects see that women are also human beings and have human rights. Women will never be inferior to men.

  Xiao Huan Yue's thoughts grew more and more vexing, her heart which had just calmed down seemed to be getting anxious again, with a multitude of worries in her mind, the beauty contest unfolding before her eyes could no longer enter her sight, after a long sigh, she slowly stood up.

  "Xiao Gu Niang, the general is awake, the deputy general is asking for you to come over!" A soldier walked up to her and said respectfully.

  "Got it!" Xiao Huan Yue's mouth curled up slightly, casting a sideways glance at her stunned soldiers, with a hint of mockery in her smile. The men here were all worthless, the general was nowhere to be seen due to his severe injuries on the battlefield, but that deputy general was drooling over her, teasing her in every way, while also wanting to send her to the general to curry favor with him, their ugly behavior made her feel sick just by looking at them.

  This kind of scum can become a deputy general, and it's no wonder that the general is not much better. No wonder they were attacked and lost territory. Although in the military camp for several days, I heard many rumors about General Xiao Chu, praising how handsome and undefeated he was, known as the undefeated war god of Qinglan. Xiang Huan Yue felt exaggerated, and before seeing him, she already had no good feelings towards him.
