Picked Up a Beast, Turns Out He's an Emperor (Completed Main Story) - Side Story 5
“Where is Her Majesty the Empress?”
“She should have arrived before His Majesty the Emperor…”
The nobles who had gathered in the imperial council chamber all looked around for the Empress.
“They say she has just left the Garden of Light. The welcoming ceremony for the vassal states’ envoys this morning ran a bit late.”
At the steward’s reply, consternation deepened on the nobles’ faces.
If this continued, His Majesty might arrive first…
Indeed, their ominous premonition came true.
“His Majesty has arrived.”
The bronze doors on either side of the chamber swung open as the imperial steward announced the Emperor’s arrival.
The nobles hastily rose from their seats to greet him.
Their eyes darted nervously, trying to gauge the Emperor’s mood.
One corner of his mouth wasn’t crooked upward, and his eyes weren’t gleaming with that deadly smile.
Relieved to see the Emperor in apparently good spirits, they quietly eased their pounding hearts.
Yet they couldn’t truly relax.
After all, his impossibly handsome face rarely revealed any emotion.

When yandere male lead believes she loves him — but she never did
“How dare you!”
“How dare you make me love you, only to cast me aside as nothing more than a friend?!?
“I will never accept that.”
“I will never let you return to him.”
“Even if I have to burn myself to ashes.”
“Even if I must shatter my purity, my dignity, my very soul.”
“I will never let you escape me!”

This was the first novel that introduced me to the matriarchal genre. I’ve read it three times already!
At first, the male lead despised the female lead. Later, he misunderstood that she liked him, so he condescendingly and reluctantly reciprocated her feelings.
Then, he suddenly discovered that she was kind to everyone in the same way, and there was already someone she cherished in her heart, and that person was not him.
The male lead couldn’t believe it, he became angry and crazy. He was determined to capture her body and heart by any means necessary.
Synopsis:
Want to see how a green tea bitch male lead falls in love with the female lead?
Want to see how he flirtatiously pursues the female lead?
Want to see how he gets slapped in the face repeatedly?
The male lead is a green tea bitch, a poisonous lotus, jealous, ruthless, unscrupulous, with a venomous heart, and he’s also a delusional maniac.
The female lead is righteous, positive energy-filled, kind, a holy mother.
Let’s see how two people with extreme personalities come together~

Placing her in the empress competition as one selected by him immediately marks her as a prime target. He understands her character and temperament yet did this regardless. Now it sounds as if he is confining her and throwing her to the wolves. Yet he still needs her to lift his curse, so she must not only survive but also remain in the palace long enough to lift the curse. Was there truly no other way for an emperor to bring a healer (even if not a mistress but a healer) into the palace? This plan seems so reckless.
- Aelthia Chapter 16 — Paragraph 32
“You are the kindest and most admirable sovereign on this continent.”
I really wonder just how long he will be able to keep up this ‘kind sovereign’ act. I honestly thought the truth of the fire would come out.

The Emperor’s shamelessness continues to astonish me. Just how long can he get away with this?
Is she not concerned because the emperor told her she wasn’t going to become the empress regardless? He explicitly stated she only needed to break his curse & that she wouldn’t become the empress as she wasn’t qualified (I don’t recall his precise wording).
I’ve been wondering just how he intends to keep her alive and unharmed enough to even attempt lifting the curse. I don’t believe these classes will be enough if she only had four days.
