Picked Up a Beast, Turns Out He's an Emperor (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 65
Lilibet Princess’s Pavilion in the Secondary Palace.
“What nonsense is this?”
The Empress Dowager’s eyes flashed fiercely toward her niece, who stood there clenching both fists.
“I’m giving up. I’ll voluntarily withdraw from the Empress candidacy.”
Her beautiful face twisted grotesquely as Princess Lilibet shook her head violently and cried out.
The moment the Emperor took Arabella on a pleasure boat trip, two out of the six candidates withdrew voluntarily. Now only four remained in the Empress selection contest, with just two rounds left.
If Arabella won even once more, having already secured three victories out of five contests, she would become the final victor.
Moreover, even if the two remaining contests produced different winners, Arabella—already holding two victories—would still claim the Empress position.
However, if one single candidate won both remaining contests, she would tie with front-runner Arabella, leading to a final decisive contest between the two.
Yet the contest itself was becoming increasingly meaningless.
The Emperor’s favor toward Arabella was no longer concealed—not even attempted to be hidden—but openly displayed. Though previous Emperors had shown partiality toward Empress candidates, none had ever revealed their affections so blatantly.
The Emperor’s actions seemed to warn, “Let’s see if you dare remain until the end despite this.” This left the candidates’ families deeply uneasy.
Of course, the purpose of participating was to produce an Empress from one’s own house, but even failing that, it offered a valuable chance to become the closest confidante of the future Empress.
Furthermore, the ten women who reached the final contest would receive enormous consolation prizes, honors, and noble titles, placing them in extremely advantageous positions for marriage.
But now the situation had shifted drastically.
Male lead is a Divorced Husband
She said to him: “Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change it!”
Liu Changning transmigrated into a female cannon fodder character in a female-dominant novel.
After reading the first half of the novel’s plot, the first thing she did upon transmigration was to divorce the Pan Jinlian-style male protagonist she had just married.
She indulged herself, pretending to be ugly and poor.
But as time passed, the way that man looked at her became more and more unusual…
Liu Changning was dumbfounded: Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change!
――
This lifetime, Pei Yuanshao was rejected by the same woman twice!
The first time, she drove him away. Forced by the situation, he endured the waves of anger in his heart, yielding and humbling himself.
That person lay slanted on a rocking chair, her sallow face emotionless: “If you don’t want a divorce, go cook!”
Pei Yuanshao’s face was dark and gloomy: “You!”
The second time, after the crisis in Jinling City was resolved, the new emperor sent someone to pick him up. He turned around, stammering: “I… I have to go. If you keep me…”
That person lay on the kang bed, her back to him, as if she had long anticipated this day, crisp and clear: “Goodbye!”
Pei Yuanshao was so angry his fingers trembled: “You… you!”
The mission of family and country made him restrain himself, averting his eyes and turning to leave this broken household.
Two years later, they met again. Seeing her ethereal face, his body shook like a sieve.
“She was originally a ‘she’!”
At the Qionglin Banquet, the top scholar of the imperial examination, a talented person with exceptional speech and conduct, all the unmarried young gentlemen from aristocratic families looked at her with shy and timid eyes.
The peerless imperial official Pei Yuanshao felt the anger in his heart erupt. He pointed at the woman surrounded by the crowd at the Qionglin Banquet, his thin lips slightly curled: “Little sister, I wants that person to be the wife-master of my Mingde Prince Manor.”
