“No, no, we received a letter saying that guests from the palace are about to arrive.”

“So, that’s today.”

They had been cleaning the house in anticipation of the arrival of the doctors from the palace, and today they must have been tidying up the Count’s room.

As Lea nodded, the maid hurried away. As soon as the people from the palace arrived, they would likely check on the Count’s health.

‘I am a pharmacist, after all. I should probably be there, right?’

Thinking of how to report the Count’s health status, Lea eventually turned her steps back.

She couldn’t possibly be eating in the dining hall when the palace’s doctor came to examine the Count.

With a brief sigh, Lea headed towards the Count’s bedroom.

“Count, it’s Lea.”

She knocked and announced her arrival, but the Count made no response. Normally, he would have at least dropped something.

Hesitant for a moment, Lea turned the doorknob.

“I’m coming in.”

Ignoring her strange feeling for a moment, Lea carefully stepped into the bedroom. Thankfully, the maids had finished tidying up the Count’s room.

Lea passed by the neatly arranged bedroom towards the bed.

The usually drawn dark curtains were now wide open and beautifully tied back. The room, usually so befitting of the Count, was strangely bright and unfamiliar.

‘How wonderful it would be if it was like this normally.’

Considering the importance of Vitamin D.

Before she knew it, Lea had stopped at the Count’s bedside.

“Count, are you asleep?”

He had never slept past noon before.

“The doctors from the palace are almost here. You should prepare for the examination…..”

As Lea bent over to speak to the Count, the sight of his drenched golden hair caught her eye.

“……Count?”

As she came closer, she felt a burning heat radiating off him. Hastily, Lea raised her hand and touched his forehead.

The intense heat was palpable. Even the brief contact had her fingertips blazing hot.

“Count!”

Only then did she notice the Count’s irregular, rapid breathing. It seemed he was unconscious, possibly due to the fever.

‘Why all of a sudden?!’

This was strange.

Just last night when they met in the outbuilding, he showed no signs of discomfort.

Even as Lea tried to rouse the Count, he lay still without any movement.

He had been drinking the moonflower detox tea and slowly flushing the Polarium poison out of his system.

The effectiveness of the treatment seemed apparent as the Count’s complexion had been improving each day.

‘But, to suddenly fall into this critical state?’

Ignoring her strange feeling for a moment, she was about to wipe the Count’s sweat with a towel from the bedside table when…

Something caught her foot.

“What’s this?”

Lea picked up an empty medicine bottle from under the bed. The bottom of the clear bottle had a residual white liquid that hadn’t been fully consumed.

Suddenly, Lea remembered the night before. The Polarium rack seemed to be missing a bottle.

‘No way.’

Please. It can’t be.

Lea’s heart was already pounding uncontrollably.
With trembling hands, Lea opened the lid and smelled. A familiar scent brushed against her nose. It was Forarium.

‘Damn!’

The situation became instantly clear with a single fallen medicine bottle.

The Count had taken Forarium poison again. And that too, at a time when not even a month had passed since he had taken it.

As if regaining consciousness, Akiya slowly opened his eyes.

“You… what is this…”

Then he looked at the empty Forarium medicine bottle in Lea’s hand.

“Put it away quickly… People are coming.”

Lea sighed. Was this empty bottle important to him when he was in so much pain that he couldn’t even fully regain consciousness?

“Why on earth are you doing this?! They say you’ve had two bottles of concentrated poison just this month!”

Lea asked the Count in a restrained voice.

Was he so desperate to die? Otherwise, how could he have taken this poison again!

Lea’s hand holding the medicine bottle trembled.

“Yes, it’s not… your concern.”

“How can I not worry? I’m your attending physician.”

‘My life is at stake for your life!’

Lea cried out as if it was very unfair. Akiya, who had been watching her closely, let out a strained breath and closed his eyes.

“Lower your voice, it’s echoing.”

“Ah…!”

“Quickly clean up… the bottle.”

Akiya, who answered in a weary voice, writhed as if in pain. Despite such agony. Lea rose from her seat as if she couldn’t bear it.

“Just wait a moment. I’ll go get the medicine…”

“It’s… okay.”

Deep crimson eyes stared at her from between Akiya’s halfclosed eyelids. Lea was very confused right now.

She couldn’t understand why the Count would go to such lengths.

And just when Lea was about to say something, the sound of scattered footsteps came from beyond the bedroom door.

With the knock, the door to the bedroom opened.

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~
