Sensitive and overly cautious patients, a disorganized examination room, and a medical record devoid of any past treatment records.

She had wanted to live as a sincere apothecary instead of a swindler, but everything seemed to have gotten off to a bad start.

“I think I’ve gotten myself into a real mess.”

The Count had very few servants to begin with. From the rude behavior of the butler towards the Count, to the disheveled medical records.

Even just a few days of observation led her to one conclusion. The Count, despite his frailty, was not in a good position.

Not just within the mansion, but also in the empire. Even though he was a sickly Count, he was the empire’s only prince.

Lea tossed and turned in her bed late into the night. Although she had not been an apothecary for the Count for long and was tired, sleep eluded her.

“Sigh.”

Afraid of staying up all night due to her endless thoughts, Lea got out of bed. She absentmindedly stared at the moonlight streaming in through the spacious window.

Feeling the need for a walk, Lea threw on a light shawl and left her room. The mansion, which was bustling with people during the day, was quite a sight under the night sky.

She followed the cobblestone path that meandered past the blue garden lit by the soft moonlight.

“The night view is quite good.”

In contrast to the eerie mansion, she muttered as she looked up at the beautiful night sky. Perhaps because the fief was far from the capital, it seemed like the stars would pour from the sky.

She continued along the path, leisurely looking up at the sky. The empty night road was perfect for a walk as there was no one to worry about.

Feeling the cool night breeze, her mind seemed to become clearer.

“How great would it be if 50 silver coins fell from the sky?”

As she made such a frivolous thought, Lea adjusted her shawl. Then, feeling the atmosphere suddenly turn chilly, she stopped in her tracks.

“Wait a minute… where is this?”

She had been so lost in thought that she didn’t realize she had strayed far from the Count’s garden.

The beautifully landscaped garden was nowhere in sight, and in its place was a field overgrown with wildflowers and weeds.

It seemed she was at the boundary between the forest and the field, just outside the Count’s mansion. The moment she thought she should turn back,

“Oh, oh!”

A strong gust of wind blew her shawl away.

She reached out to grab it, but it narrowly missed and disappeared over a wall.

“That was my favorite.”

The shawl was a gift from her hometown friends to celebrate her becoming an apothecary.

It wasn’t expensive, but it held great meaning for Lea, who was an orphan. To find it, she walked along the wall.

“But what is this wall?”

She mumbled to herself as she looked at the wall taller than herself. As she walked along with her hand on the wall, she found a small entrance where the wind was faintly passing through.

It was hidden in the dense bushes, not easy to find. If she hadn’t been feeling her way along, she would never have discovered such a secret entrance.

She hesitated for a moment as she tried to push her way through the bushes.

Would it be okay to enter such a place alone in the pitchblack night? Her hand, resting on the bushes, trembled.

“Hoo.”

But the image of the shawl was still vivid in her mind.

‘Even if it’s inside the mansion, what could possibly happen?’
Lea squeezed her eyes shut and plunged into the bushes. The refreshing scent of lemon that filled her nostrils caused her to slowly open her eyes again.

Wildflowers filled a space about the size of a small garden. Under the moonlight, silver bellflowers climbed the wall and were in full bloom.

‘This scent is……’

Silver bellflowers under the moonlight exuding an even more enchanting and sensuous fragrance. Furthermore, the flower scent tickling her nose felt strangely familiar.

“I feel like I’ve smelled this somewhere before?”

As Lea pondered where that place could be, she soon shook her head.

‘Well, it’s a common flower.’

Finding her shawl was more important now. It was also about time she should return.

Soon, Lea reached the wall where her shawl might have fallen, feeling around with her hands.

“Found it!”

She spotted her shawl tangled in the distant bushes. Just as Lea was about to happily pull out her shawl,

“It seems a little messy, but it should be fine after washing…….”

She felt a breeze passing through what she thought was an ordinary wall of bushes.

“What’s that?”

Why was there a wind here….

Could it be, this isn’t an ordinary wall? Lea, as if enchanted, slowly started to push the wall.

Creeeak.

When she put force into pushing the wall, a rusted iron door creaked open with a hairraising noise.

In that instant, Lea was frozen, mouth agape at the unbelievable sight.

“Exactly, what is this place?”

For a moment, Lea hesitated, thinking that she should go back. But considering her personality, it seemed likely she would revisit this place again, now that she had discovered it.

She couldn’t resist her curiosity.

“Hooh.”

To relax her tensed body, Lea exhaled deeply and cautiously stepped into the room.

A place shrouded in darkness deep enough to raise goosebumps.

Although she couldn’t see well because of the darkness, she discovered a candle and matches near the door and lit them.

Then, in the slightly brightened room, she caught sight of something vague.

“Herbs?”

A messy table filled with signs of someone’s usage. Herbs were scattered all over, as if medicine was being produced there.

Exactly what medicine was being made? As Lea approached the table and examined the herbs, her face hardened.

“Why is this…….”

Mixed with the herbs, there were silver bellflowers that she had also seen in the clinic. Feeling something uncomfortable, Lea began to rummage through the table.

And there, she found a small bottle containing a white liquid and a record of unidentified medicine mixtures.

With a hunch, Lea quickly scanned through the mixing record. Then, she let out a sigh.

“My goodness.”

She carefully examined the herbs once again, but nothing had changed.

‘Ha.’

Barely managing to stay standing as her legs went weak, Lea looked at the bottle lying next to her.

A bottle containing a liquid with a unique color of silver bellflowers. It was poison.

“Who on earth made this?”

If she looked at each herb here, nothing was strange. However, it’s the mixtures that mattered in medicine.

If silver bellflowers were mixed with the herbs here, it would be no different from poison.

If consumed in the right amount, it would only weaken the body.

‘Wait, a poison that weakens the body and darkens the complexion?’

Suddenly, she thought of an unbelievable hypothesis.

‘No way.’

She could hear the sound of her saliva swallowing down her throat. An ominous feeling, like she had discovered something she should not have seen.

‘I have to get out of here.’

Her instincts were screaming at her. To get out of this place immediately. It was just when she clenched the bottle in her hand.

The moonlight that had been shining through the doorway disappeared.

At the same time, she felt the presence of someone else and turned around. She crossed gazes with two gleaming eyes from the pitchblack darkness.

Eyes shining as red as blood.

The person with the chillingly cold eyes was…

“…Count?”

It was Count Heidern.

And instead of answering her question,

Thud.

He locked the door, preventing her from escaping.

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~
