When The Silver Bell Of Charlotte's Pharmacy Rings (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 114
Matiel, who had been deep in thought, spoke.
“Explain it a bit more precisely.”
Charlotte tilted her head slightly. She used her fork to pull a small fried fish toward her plate, then cut it in half.
“Curses contain various kinds of restrictions. For example, just like this fried fish—the outside is crispy, but inside is tender fish. A curse, too, has layers that differ from its surface to its core. But to know what’s hidden inside, you first have to break the curse.”
Matiel glanced at the meat pie.
“Like a pie?”
“Yes, a pie would actually be a better analogy. To see what’s inside a pie, you must first cut it open or lift its crust. Until you do, you won’t know if it’s filled with steamed vegetables, minced meat, or even a live bird. Curses are exactly the same. Do you understand?”
Matiel nodded, then looked dubiously at the remaining piece of pie. It tasted good, but he didn’t feel like eating any more of it… He turned his gaze back to Charlotte.
“So?”
“If Dolpher James is truly under some kind of…”
His words were abruptly drowned out by a burst of raucous laughter from the men. Among them was Junior, Dolpher James’s son. Charlotte waited for the commotion to subside, then lowered her voice slightly to continue.
“Suppose he is under a curse, and I manage to lift it. I’m not sure he could handle the shock of whatever restrictions were buried inside it. Imagine opening an old box you’ve kept under your desk for years, only to have a palm-sized, hairy spider jump right out. Wouldn’t that make him faint, foaming at the mouth?”
Matiel’s expression grew thoughtful again. He considered himself someone lacking imagination. Strangely, when it came to Charlotte, he could envision anything vividly—but everything else had to remain strictly grounded in reality. Still, he nodded in understanding.
As the conversation stretched on, he felt his thoughts veering off in an unexpected direction—perhaps because of the unfamiliar surroundings, smells, and noises. Instead of a giant spider, he pictured Charlotte quietly seated inside his own box.
The moment imaginary Charlotte looked up at him, he clutched his chest, which had suddenly plunged as if dropping through the floor. He shut the box’s lid tightly and locked it, ensuring no one could ever touch or see it again.

One-line summary: Male lead chases female lead. The male lead’s love is a bit sick, an invincible love brain.
Synopsis
During a voyage at sea, Jiang Yang accidentally captures a merman.
Servant: I heard that mermen are fierce and brutal.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman obediently rubbing her palm like a puppy: “You call this fierce and brutal?”
Servant: I heard that mermen have no human nature.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman with wet puppy eyes, obsessively calling her ‘A Yang’ like a childish infant: “You call this having no human nature?”
With great difficulty, she releases the merman back into the sea and returns to shore.
Who would have thought that in less than half a month, the merman, who should have been freely wandering in the South China Sea, would shed his scales, endure the pain of losing his tail, transform into human legs, and come ashore to find her?
He kneels at her feet, rubbing her palm, with merman tears rolling down: “A Yang, don’t abandon me.”
