Picked Up a Beast, Turns Out He's an Emperor (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 70
The Emperor, true to his nature, recounted his own curse as plainly and succinctly as if it were someone else’s tale.
Not even a sliver of emotion seeped into his voice.
Even Count Corald, who had spent over half a century battling countless monsters and dark magic across the continent, found it difficult to gauge the pain and weight of the curse the Emperor endured.
The Emperor—who hadn’t so much as twitched an eyebrow while speaking of his own curse—
the moment he uttered the name “Arabella,” the Count’s sharp eyes didn’t miss the subtle clench of the Emperor’s jawline.
Starting from his first meeting with Arabella to the events of just last night, the Emperor’s demeanor as he recounted the story appeared tense.
Until now, he had always exuded an unshakable, arrogant composure, even while suffocating those around him with tension.
This was the first time.
A strange sight of the Emperor, as seen through Count Corald’s eyes.
A desperate yearning—not for himself, but to protect someone precious—radiated from the Emperor’s faintly trembling fingertips.
It overlapped with Corald’s own memory: deep in a mountain gorge, realizing too late there was no way to save his wife, paralyzed by monster venom and dying in his arms, howling like a madman.
The tale, begun at sunset, ended as the eclipsed night sky gave way to the rise of a white moon.
Beneath the glass ceiling, the pale moonlight cast shadows across the Emperor’s face, rendering his expression even colder.
The Emperor leaned back into his chair, returning to his usual cold, restrained self.
Throughout his recounting, his crimson eyes never left Count Corald’s blue ones, seeming to read his thoughts through them.

My Ex-Girlfriend Is The Regent In The Female-dominant World (Male lead transmigrates to the matriarchal world)
Two years ago, Gu Sui picked up a homeless woman in ancient costume from the street.
Apart from occasionally claiming to be a princess from a female-dominant country due to illness, her figure, appearance, intelligence, and martial arts skills were impeccable.
Naturally evolving from roommates to girlfriends, as time went on, Gu Sui found it increasingly difficult to tolerate her queen syndrome.
“Mu Jiulu, can you stop controlling me inside and out? Let’s break up.”
Gu Sui made a breakup call, and since then, he couldn’t find any trace of her.
A year later, Gu Sui, who was planning to move, woke up the next day and found himself in a different place.
“Young Master, today is the day you choose your Wife-master through martial arts competition at Jade Dew Pavilion. Please get up quickly.”
Gu Sui: Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
As the only son of a general’s mansion in a female-dominant dynasty, the young empress personally issued a decree allowing Gu Sui to select his Wife-master through martial arts competition. Whoever could defeat him could marry him.
Gu Sui: “……”
He didn’t inherit the original owner’s martial prowess, so anyone could defeat him! And what the hell is a Wife-master?
Forced to come to Jade Dew Pavilion, the densely packed women below made Gu Sui’s agoraphobia act up, and his face was full of resistance.
Until he saw the Regent sitting on the second floor, with a smile on the corner of her lips, her eyes wicked and nonchalant.
Hmm… she looked a little familiar.
It turned out that the Regent also found him a little familiar.
Mu Jiulu fiddled with her bone clasp, her deep gaze locked on the man who was out of place in this world.
“Finally, I found you.”
