When The Silver Bell Of Charlotte's Pharmacy Rings (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 185
Maleblanc lifted his head, frowning as he let out a faint, mocking laugh. In that instant, a sensual aura seemed to overflow from his previously pale face as a killer. Charlotte, unaware of herself, flushed and bit her lip tightly, then clenched her teeth with an expression of indignation.
“Don’t play games with me.”
“You’ve brought that annoying thing again.”
Though his tone was leisurely and sarcastic, the steady ticking of the pendulum clearly irritated Maleblanc. She could sense every nerve ending in his body standing on edge.
‘Anyway, I can’t actually do anything to him with this. If I can just divert his attention… just a little bit, maybe I can find a way to get Tae Mi out. Think, Charlotte. Think.’
Keeping her focus on Maleblanc, she scanned her surroundings only with sidelong glances. She hoped there might be something useful nearby, but found nothing suitable. Only if he were the sort she could knock unconscious with a chair.
The candelabra atop the massive fireplace looked quite usable. Clearly made of silver, it would undoubtedly be heavy. But there was one critical problem: by the time she ran over to grab it, Tae Mi’s heart would surely have already been ripped out.
“Let’s talk alone, just you and me. Isn’t our issue the priority? Understand?”
The pendulum kept swinging back and forth, producing its relentless clicking sound—a steady, clear noise so hypnotic even Charlotte felt herself losing focus. Each time the silver beads clicked together, Maleblanc twitched at the corners of his eyes, his expression growing increasingly annoyed.
“Just the two of us. That’s fine. But that irritating noise has to go. Let me make this clear: you no longer have the right to refuse me, nor the right to propose any arrogant, negotiation-disguised deals.”
“Fine. I understand.”
When Charlotte readily agreed, Maleblanc bared his teeth in a smile. All traces of the sensual allure from earlier vanished, leaving only the raw hunger of a ravenous beast—like a wolf prepared to tear into its prey to sate its empty stomach.
“I like obedient women.”
In an instant, Maleblanc opened his mouth. His knife-like fangs glinted, and from his gaping maw stretched a thin, thread-like strand, tangled like a disordered spiderweb. Just as he was about to sink his teeth into Tae Mi’s throat, Charlotte felt a blinding jolt of shock and yanked hard on Tae Mi’s ankle.
“Wake up!”
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…?

The guards are to protect the kingdom, it makes no sense to prioritize the guards well being over the kingdoms well being. That is precisely what the 2nd prince has done by letting Maleblanc go and calling a retreat.
