Picked Up a Beast, Turns Out He's an Emperor (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 112
The tale of the new empress’s gift to the emperor swiftly spread beyond the capital’s high walls to the farthest corners of the empire.
Market merchants—most sensitive to rumors—gathered together, chattering about what had happened yesterday in the imperial palace
as if they themselves had been present.
“The imperial robe His Majesty wore reportedly repelled every drop of pouring rain.”
“Good heavens! Is such a thing truly possible?”
“My nephew, who stood guard at the outdoor amphitheater, saw it clearly with his own eyes. Thick raindrops bounced right off the robe.”
“Our Tommy and Sam came back from their last campaign suffering from skin rashes and still haven’t recovered. For four straight days, they marched soaked in wool uniforms in the rain. When they returned, their entire bodies—oh dear… If only uniforms were made from waterproof fabric, we’d finally breathe easy.”
“It’s not just uniforms! If we made market tents from waterproof fabric, we could sell goods even in the rain—that’d be perfect.”
“Then the demand for wool needed to make soldiers’ uniforms will drop considerably too. Until now, we had no choice but to buy Riverlam wool at high prices, even through gritted teeth, because it’s the most rain-resistant.”
“Exactly. Our empire’s merchants will take the lead in producing, distributing, and selling waterproof fabric—not just for uniforms, but everyday clothing too.”
“Oh my, oh my! The profits must be unimaginably huge!”
“Of course! And that’s not all—new jobs will abound.”
As if by prior agreement, everyone in the market simultaneously turned their gaze toward the palace.
“Her Majesty the new empress has given the empire’s people the greatest wedding gift.”
“When rumors spread during the empress selection trials that she could skillfully wield ‘agretheor,’ I knew instantly she must be extraordinary—perhaps even a genius inventor of the age.”
Male lead fell into her trap — and shattered when she walked away
This is also on my reread list!
This one is a slow burn, but when it burns, it burns hard.
Definitely worth a read, y’all!
The story follows a thousand-year-old seductive spirit who, on a bet, sets out to charm the male lead—a once-promising but unfortunate cultivator.
But just when she succeeds in making him fall for her, she heartlessly leaves, driving him to madness.
Determined to find her at all costs, he captures her, keeping her by his side no matter what, even if she hates him.
I love this kind of trope—I enjoy watching the male lead suffer in agony.
The ending drags a bit with unnecessary filler, but that’s fine.
As long as I enjoy the beginning, I’m good.
