Picked Up a Beast, Turns Out He's an Emperor (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 60
Emperor Maxwell’s mood was exceptionally good as he left the Second Reception Room and headed toward his office.
For an emperor whose emotions rarely fluctuated, such a good mood meant that all the plans he had set in motion had either concluded successfully or were proceeding without a hitch.
And rightly so—Count Corald’s quest team had returned with every single Imperial citizen who had been sold into slavery, not a single one missing, and the emperor’s meticulously designed operation to eradicate the Venom pirates along the southern coast had achieved overwhelming success.
Moreover, not only had they utterly crushed the ruthless loan sharks and human trafficking rings that had extended their reach from the Eastern Continent into the Empire, but they had also meticulously rooted out every noble who had colluded with them.
Naturally, they had stripped those nobles of their titles and confiscated all the vast fortunes they had amassed under the Empire’s nose, transferring everything into the Imperial treasury. Even the trade route dispute with the Western Continent had concluded far sooner than anticipated, in the Empire’s favor.
Furthermore, Grace of House Lecain’s scheme to disgrace the eleventh candidate and expel her from the palace had been exposed, resulting in Grace and the two candidates who had aided her being banished from the palace.
The emperor’s investigative unit and the Imperial enforcement division had swiftly wrapped up their investigation and executed the sentence within a single day, as if they had been waiting for this moment.
The scandal of the rivalry among Empress candidates at the secondary palace had shaken not only the Imperial Household but the entire Empire—and yielded yet another unexpected outcome: two of the remaining eight noble ladies voluntarily withdrew, leaving only six.
Upon hearing of the emperor’s outrageous conduct—conducting a naked inspection in Arabella’s bedroom—certain houses had preemptively become fearful and withdrawn their daughters from the secondary palace.
They worried that, far from becoming empress, their daughters might be expelled during the competition, ruining any chance of a good marriage and tarnishing their family’s honor.
Now, the emperor seemed to subtly hope the remaining candidates would plunge into rivalry—believing it far more efficient to settle everything at once.
Honestly, he had even entertained the thought of expelling them all this time—until he heard Kael and Jacob’s words:
“If Lady Arabella were to find out… she’d be disappointed.”
At that, the emperor halted his spiraling scheming. Just imagining those large, round eyes looking at him with disappointment made his throat tighten uncomfortably.
The mere fact that the emperor’s steps toward his office carried no hint of killing intent brightened the expressions of his secretarial staff walking alongside him.
Ex-husband Wants Reconciliation
One-line summary: Chasing the wife to the crematorium (making an effort to attract someone who has become indifferent), the female lead doesn’t look back, the second male lead takes the position.
Intro:
To repay the kindness of the older generation, Su Mu crossed into a female-dominated world and became a live-in daughter-in-law of the Yan family, single-handedly saving the Yan family from fire and water.
But her husband, Yan Jiyue, the eldest son of the Yan family, treated her with sarcasm and never showed her a good face.
It wasn’t until after Su Mu’s death that this pampered and arrogant young master shed a few fake tears and pretended to want to die for love.
This life’s kindness was enough. If there was a next life, she would definitely kick Yan Jiyue away.
Who knew that the heavens would be so kind as to allow her to be reborn, returning to the time when she had just married into the Yan family.
Su Mu glanced at the Yan eldest son, who still spoke coldly to her, and threw a divorce letter in front of him.
“Let’s divorce!”
***
Yan Jiyue never imagined that he would be reborn. He happily went to find Su Mu, wanting to make up for the mistakes he had made in his ignorant youth.
Wasn’t the reason the heavens allowed him to be reborn to let him reconcile with Su Mu?
But when he pushed open the door to Su Mu’s room, the person lying on the bed was another man.
Su Mu’s personal attendant, Xie Yi.
Yan Jiyue hated him so much that his teeth itched. In front of Su Mu, Xie Yi was a gentle and considerate whisperer of sweet nothings, but in reality, he was vicious-hearted and deliberately sabotaged their husband and wife relationship.
In the previous life, it was he who secretly hid in Su Mu’s coffin and committed suicide, stealing a step ahead of him to be buried with Su Mu.
Yan Jiyue’s eyes were filled with hatred as he cursed, “What kind of thing are you? Your background is lowly, what right do you have to occupy Su Mu?”
Xie Yi looked at the sleeping Su Mu and no longer pretended to be a whisperer of sweet nothings.
He proudly stuck out his belly, “I have the right because my belly is capable of giving the Wife-master a daughter.”
***
Yan Jiyue was consumed with jealousy. He spread rumors that Xie Yi had once been branded with the mark of a “harlot” on his chest.
But on the night Xie Yi cut off the flesh bearing that mark, Su Mu suddenly realized something was amiss.
“How did you know the exact moment I was poisoned? And why did you show up a month early?”
Xie Yi remained silent, blood from his wound soaking through his robes. His sapphire eyes brimmed with anguish – or was it just a flawless act?
Between a once-arrogant husband now seeking redemption, and a gentle soul willing to die for her – who truly held the darkest secrets? And could it be that Su Mu and Yan Jiyue weren’t the only ones given a second chance at life…?
