Picked Up a Beast, Turns Out He's an Emperor (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 90
Hundreds of damp yellow eyes embedded in each scale glistened.
Obiseuth’s long tongue, raking Emperor Maxwell’s body with greedy eyes, made a lewd, squelching sound.
“To those who enter the underworld, the right to save a soul is granted upon passing through nine gates. So stop your nonsense and step aside.”
Emperor Maxwell stared coldly at the largest eye embedded in the center of her forehead, as if she weren’t even worth his attention.
The nine gates of the underworld from myth.
Legend said that whoever passed through the nine gates would earn the right to rescue a soul trapped in the underworld.
“A ‘hopeful torment’ devised by the gods to mock human sorrow.”
Those were Crown Prince Maxwell’s words when he studied mythology.
According to myth, only one human had ever passed through all nine gates.
A father’s love that fought and defeated every monster in the nine chambers to save his beloved son’s soul.
Yet, the man who returned to the human world with his son had to send him back to the underworld within a week.
Because his son, having eaten the fruit of the underworld, could no longer survive in the human realm.
“How pitiful—humans playing right into the gods’ hands, merely to kill time with their own despair.”
At thirteen, Maxwell had frowned as he read the tale of the man who ultimately fell into the underworld himself for his son.
Humans believed the nine gates were a gift of hope from the gods to those who wailed in despair over lost loved ones.
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.”
