‘It seems the reaction to the newly developed medicine is not bad.’
During the process of developing the side-effect remedy, Lea discovered an anesthetic using spider venom. This led to the research of a medicine using the anesthetic, which eventually brought her to Botox.
As the Botox was developed based on her experiences in South Korea, progress was swift. Edward’s state-of-the-art laboratory and his team were a great help.
Contrary to the initial concerns, Botox successfully completed clinical trials and was commercialized. The response among the nobles was not bad.
‘No, it’s not just not bad; it’s successful.’
[After injecting the medicine, the wrinkles around the eyes lightened.] [Regular use made the jawline slender!]The Botox developed by Lea began to spread through word of mouth, and noblewomen were seeking it out.
Based on the profits from Botox sales, Lea planned to turn the Bellerus Hot Springs into a center for medical tourism.
While continuing to contemplate Botox, Lea suddenly realized the carriage had stopped. It seemed they had arrived at the location of the tea party.
Lea took a deep breath and stepped out of the carriage. She had heard rumors that Akkia was struggling to expand his influence.
Though she felt resentful that Akkia wasn’t looking for her, a sense of pity also crept in.
Perhaps that’s why. Initially, she had no intention of attending social gatherings, but her mind changed. It might be a source of strength for Akkia in the future.
‘Of course, it might also help with the Botox business?’
For the sake of Akkia, and for herself, it seemed like a good thing, so she actively decided to participate in the gathering.
Guided by a maid of Viscount Wayne, Lea headed straight for the garden. Laughter and chatter from young ladies sitting around empty garden tables in the distance reached her ears.
In the center of the garden, surrounded by lush greenery and marigold flowers of various colors, she came into view.
Indeed, it was decorated splendidly in the style befitting a viscount. As Lea approached where the noble young ladies were, gazes were drawn toward her.
“You’ve come. Lady Bellerus!”
“Come this way. We’ve been waiting for Lady Lea so much.”
As expected, the protagonist of today’s tea party was herself. Lea was guided to the vacant central seat at the table.
Even until the moment she sat down, the eyes of the young ladies around her couldn’t leave Lea.
“It was so dull without someone of the same age. We’re delighted that Lady Bellerus has come.”
“I don’t know how happy I am to be invited like this, my lady.”
In response to Lea’s reply, Viscount Wayne’s lady’s face brightened even more. It was a time when the conversation was flowing smoothly.
“Lady Bellerus, I have a question. What’s your relationship with Viscount Allensia’s son?”
“You mean Edward?”
“Oh, so you call him Edward.”
Lea put down the teacup she was holding in response to the unexpected question.
‘Her relationship with Edward? It’s not any relationship.’
It seemed a bit lacking to call him a friend. Unsure of how to respond, Lea awkwardly smiled, and an adjacent lady gave her a teasing look.
“Could it be an engagement?”
“No, not at all. We’ve just become close as our households know each other well.”
“I see. We thought you two had some relationship. Well, the two families are close, aren’t they?”
The ladies seemed to quickly accept Lea’s answer.
At that moment, Lea was relieved, thinking of the worries she had about the rumors affecting Edward.
“By the way, I heard that Viscount Haydren has a fiancée?”
‘What?’
Lea almost dropped the teacup she was holding. The ladies continued as if they had found an interesting topic.
“He formally proposed to her from the Esteleen Viscount, but she rejected him, they say.”
“Oh my. Really? I heard his fiancée is Lady Alexandra. Someone saw them together at the last party.”
“No, I heard she’s Lady Sierra.”
As rumors continued to circulate, Lea’s face gradually darkened. She was in a time of relief, thinking of avoiding herself as if she were the busiest person in the world.
‘This woman was busy spreading rumors and avoiding me?’
“Lady Bellerus, haven’t you heard anything?”
“Me? I…”
At that moment, Lea, unable to frown, awkwardly smiled. Viscount Wayne’s lady next to her sighed as if something had come to mind.
“That’s right. Lady, how about joining the Masked Ball?”
“The Masked Ball?”
“Yes, the party hosted by the Romanov family this time. Lady Romanov is my close friend, and I want you to attend.”
“I’m still awkward at parties where I need to hide my face.”
As Lea hesitated at the mention of the party, the lady viscount smiled as if it was okay.
“Since you’ll be covering your face with a mask, it’ll be fine, my lady!”
“Yes, let’s go together. It’ll surely be fun.”
Although she was about to express her refusal, when she tried to apologize, Akkia’s face appeared above the lady’s face.
The Duke, who left her alone and made rumors with other women. Perhaps because of the annoying feeling, Lea answered unknowingly.
“Okay.”
And as Lea gave her permission, laughter blossomed on the faces of the surrounding ladies.
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…?
