When The Silver Bell Of Charlotte's Pharmacy Rings (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 122
“It’s hard to explain.”
Feriera, resting her forehead on her raised knees, muttered.
“Most of the time, she’s gentle—calm and thoughtful, it seems… But sometimes, just occasionally, she looks like a completely different person. Impatient, chatty, and, I don’t know…”
Feriera spoke while quietly watching Jibshia, who was still bustling about excitedly like an overeager puppy.
“Sometimes she looks utterly frivolous.”
Edesa looked at Feriera in surprise, then turned her gaze toward Jibshia. Indeed, as Feriera said, Jibshia seemed unusually energetic today—even frivolous, in fact.
Yet Edesa disagreed with Feriera’s words.
“Your Highness, people have their moments. Perhaps Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess is simply like that sometimes?”
Feriera didn’t reply and kept her eyes fixed on Jibshia, her gaze sharp as though trying to pierce through something.
Just then, the Crown Princess, having finished her preparations, waved toward them, and Feriera’s maids rushed over to help her up.
Seeing this, Edesa was suddenly overwhelmed by jealousy—she forgot that this girl was a princess by birth and even younger and in poor health.
‘Though I’m standing right beside her, not a single person even gestures to offer me a hand… Does that mean I’m nothing now? But once I become Duchess Elinak, their attitude will surely change.’
Edesa walked lightly behind Feriera, who was slowly making her way forward holding her maids’ hands. Though Feriera’s words about Jibshia’s flushed face briefly came to mind, she quickly brushed them aside.
A large parasol was spread open, yet Feriera sat at the very edge where the sunlight touched. She didn’t want to be near the Crown Princess—or Edesa—just then.
To Edesa, Feriera sitting alone in the sun seemed oddly irritating. The sunlight made her skin look pearl-white, and Edesa found herself glaring at it with envy.
After Being Cheated On, She Picked Up a Treasure (Female-dominant)
One-line summary: The husband I married on a whim had been secretly in love with me for a long time.
On the day when Jun Shao finally obtained the imperial decree for her marriage, Lan Qu, the person she had admired for six years, defied the decree and ran away.
Her gentleness and devotion, her promise of a lifetime together, were all disregarded by him. Instead, he dreamed of entering the palace to serve the Emperor’s sister as a sixth-rank attendant.
News of this incident spread throughout the capital, and the alleys in front of and behind the Lan mansion were crowded with people who came to watch the commotion.
Jun Shao should have been embarrassed and angry.
But someone stepped in to protect her dignity.
The figure was in a miserable state, yet still possessed an undeniable elegance and handsomeness.
The young lord struggled to climb the wall of the Lan mansion and shouted to her, “If he won’t marry you, I will!”
So, Jun Shao took advantage of the situation and married the person.
She thought the young lord did it to save the Lan family from the crime of defying the imperial decree, but never imagined that from beginning to end, what he coveted was her.

After the wedding, Jun Shao felt like she was living in a dream.
Her Wife-master was as beautiful as a fairy in a painting, skilled in the six arts, well-versed in poetry and literature, capable of being gentle and attentive, and also grand and dignified. Most importantly, she was the only one in his heart and eyes.
Jun Shao didn’t know how Lan Shiwu, as a illegitimate son without a father and blessed with beauty, had managed to preserve his purity, recklessly escape, and use his last ounce of strength to ruin his own reputation, all because of his love for her, just to stand before her.
She could only see him gazing at her with eyes full of love, and when she bestowed a name upon him, his eyes shone like stars.
“You have come to me like a weary bird perching on a branch. I shall call you A Qi.”
To be honest, Tae Mi is my favorite character in this novel.
Wow that’s grotesque. I didn’t think this novel was going to be so gorey
