When The Silver Bell Of Charlotte's Pharmacy Rings (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 22
Tae Mi flinched and ran his eyes over his own arm.
“I hate snakes.”
Charlotte glanced at him as though she’d seen every ridiculous sight imaginable.
“Who actually likes them? Everyone hates snakes.”
“Really? I had no idea you disliked snakes.”
Charlotte shot back.
“I hate their smooth scales, and the spotted ones make me feel even worse. And the way they coil up—it’s just disgusting.”
Immediately, Tae Mi’s expression shifted, and he turned serious.
“You’d better not say things like that carelessly, or the Royal Reptile Society might catch you and beat you to a pulp.”
“What’s the Royal Reptile Society?”
“The Royal Reptile Enthusiasts Association. Especially full of snake lovers. I once met someone from there—they told me there’s a snake that’s incredibly skilled at playing dead. It’s so convincing it’s almost…”
Without even glancing back, Charlotte began striding off briskly.
Tae Mi hurried after her, calling out,
“Hey! Do you even know where you’re going?”
“I already told you—Chief Physician Eijen. If we head toward the village and ask around, someone’s bound to know him. It’s not a big city, and a doctor reputable enough to serve as a personal physician to a mansion like that would surely be well-known.”
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
