Picked Up a Beast, Turns Out He's an Emperor (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 19
“Please spare me! Please, I beg you!”
The terrified scream of nine-year-old Crown Prince Maxwell echoed back at him. He needed to run, but his feet felt glued to the ground, refusing to move.
A sharp arrowhead pointed directly at Maxwell’s heart. And behind it, a tall man drawing the bowstring taut.
“Spare me, Your Imperial Majesty… Grandfather!!!!”
Maxwell dropped to his knees, pressing his forehead into the grass as he pleaded.
“Stand up.”
The solemn voice of Maximus, the 26th Emperor of the Heltherd Empire, cut through the crisp late-autumn mountain air.
That day, the Emperor had taken his grandson, Crown Prince Maxwell, on a hunting trip to a nearby mountain. Upon reaching the mountainside, the Emperor had dismissed everyone else, choosing to ride alone with his grandson along a quiet forest path.
The Emperor’s affection for his orphaned grandson was famously well known. His entourage watched the pair depart with warm approval and did not follow them.
After the Emperor’s eldest son—the former Crown Prince—met a gruesome end at the claws of a black panther, the Emperor had named his infant grandson, not even a year old, as the new Crown Prince. Ever since, he had guarded the boy fiercely, ensuring no one could covet his position.
Not even his second son, Gustav, nor his youngest son Eric—born from a new Empress—dared challenge Maxwell’s place while the Emperor lived. The Emperor cherished his grandson to such an extent.
At least, that was the outward appearance.
Young Maxwell’s hands trembled unconsciously as he followed his grandfather, sensing today might be his last.
The Crown Prince knew the truth: his grandfather did not love him. No—the Emperor’s feelings toward him were not even hatred mixed with love, but pure, unadulterated loathing.
Publicly, he played the role of a kind and doting grandfather who adored his grandson.
Top Celebrity Younger Brother Bears Her Child (Female-dominant)
One-line summary: Forced to live stream romance with a top celebrity in a female-dominant world.
Yan Jin transmigrated into a brothel, with a fellow transmigrated junior beside her.
Hearing the obscene words coming from outside, the unfortunate junior covered his ears tightly, his cheeks flushed red, and whispered to comfort her, “Don’t worry, I will definitely help you escape.”
“Don’t worry, I will definitely defend your chastity.” Yan Jin looked at the flawless and delicate features of the unfortunate junior and gently comforted, “Because we have transmigrated into a female-dominant world.”

Top celebrity Yu Shu suddenly fell into a coma during a concert.
Research scientist Yan Jin fainted in the lab after working overtime.
Two people with no connection were rushed to the same hospital.
Three days later, neither of them had woken up.
Suddenly, the entire nation discovered that a live streaming app had been forcibly installed on their phones.
Upon opening it, they heard the two discussing how to escape from the brothel.
The entire internet was in an uproar.
After the two successfully escaped from the brothel, Yu Shu’s fan group rushed to make a banner and sent it to the hospital overnight.
“Big sister bravely took action to defend the chastity of our idol!”

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]
①Male pregnancy (highlighted)
The female lead is five years older than the male lead, and the male lead is already an adult when he appears.
I’m not yet convinced this is a curse. There are a lot of questionable events. Why would a black panther kidnap a princess?
I’ve been wondering just how he intends to keep her alive and unharmed enough to even attempt lifting the curse. I don’t believe these classes will be enough if she only had four days.
Is she not concerned because the emperor told her she wasn’t going to become the empress regardless? He explicitly stated she only needed to break his curse & that she wouldn’t become the empress as she wasn’t qualified (I don’t recall his precise wording).
