Picked Up a Beast, Turns Out He's an Emperor (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 52
Rumors spread faster than wildfire, and people’s hearts held less resolve than reeds.
No sooner had the name of the first contest’s victor been called on stage than today’s result swept through the Imperial Palace, scoured every corner of the capital, and began spreading across the entire empire.
Even before the velvet cloth edged in gold, bearing the name of Arabella of House Del Sacre—the first victor—was unfurled beneath the palace gates, even the smallest children in the market already knew the outcome.
“They say she wields Arguteur with complete mastery. Rumor has it she studied humanities personally under Professor Couvert, the empire’s foremost scholar.”
“Good heavens! Arguteur—the very language that baffles even elder nobles! Now I see why His Majesty holds her in such favor.”
“Here’s a secret… His Majesty didn’t meet Lady Arabella in some provincial estate, but in the Kingdom of Senfer.”
“Oh! I heard that too. Her family, pitying her brilliance, disguised her as a boy and sent her to study at Senfer’s Royal University. There, she met His Majesty during His visit. Doesn’t it sound just like a romance novel?”
“That makes perfect sense now. His Majesty went out of His way to find someone truly worthy of Him.”
“So the original rumors were complete nonsense—claims that the Emperor seduced some ignorant, insignificant country girl with her body.”
“Thinking back, those rumors were utterly ridiculous. His Majesty is far too discerning to keep anyone unworthy by His side. It was all lies fabricated by those jealous of Lady Arabella. We nearly fell for it.”
“But there’s another rumor… that Lady Arabella allowed those false rumors to spread on purpose—so she wouldn’t become a target too early and could clearly identify her true enemies.”
“Oh my! If that’s true, then Lady Arabella is as cunning as His Majesty Himself. Remarkable.”
Men and women, young and old alike, chatted animatedly everywhere about today’s victor.
In no time at all, the forgotten noblewoman from a fallen house had transformed in the public eye: from a country bumpkin to a protégée of a renowned humanist, a foreign-educated scholar from Senfer’s Royal University, and now a strategist rivaling even the Emperor.
The first contest had been widely assumed to be a two-horse race between Lady Grace of House Lecain and Princess Lilibet of Seville, the Empress Dowager’s niece—but an astonishing dark horse emerged, rekindling everyone’s fading interest.
Male lead is reincarnated to save his wife
I’ve also read this one twice already. The female lead is kinda soft and gets embarrassed easily—not really my type, but the plot is definitely worth reading. Hurry up and read it, y’all!
Intro
When Shen Yuan encountered Su Jin again in his previous life, she had already become the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. As for him, the former top young master of the capital, he had long since fallen into the abyss, becoming a singer on a pleasure boat.
After a song ended, he was redeemed and sent to the Su Residence.
Su Jin respected and cherished him, gave him a roof over his head, and bestowed him with warmth. Shen Yuan fell deeper and deeper, but before he could express his feelings, Su Jin passed away.
Shen Yuan died to follow her in death, but instead, he returned to when he was fifteen years old.
At that time, he was not yet engaged, and Su Jin was just a poor scholar.
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, casting aside all his pride, and thought of ways to coax and entice her every day.
The colder and more indifferent Su Jin was towards him, the more proactive Shen Yuan became.
He was not afraid of being mocked by the world, only wanting to marry his Wife-master early, to hold her hand and never let go for a lifetime.
[Note: This story will not specifically point out the male lead’s reincarnation time point; it’s all in the details. Whenever you feel that the male lead is acting strangely, he has most likely been reincarnated.]
