When The Silver Bell Of Charlotte's Pharmacy Rings (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 47
“…What is this?”
Tae Mi asked upon seeing the black, thin things scattered over Charlotte’s palm.
He didn’t know exactly what they were, but just looking at them made his stomach churn.
Charlotte stared intently at them for a moment, then exhaled a long sigh—just as she did when suppressing anger—and sharply shook her hand.
“It’s a monster’s trace. It was inside….”
Lane Hopperwell was utterly stunned. His expression showed he desperately wanted to deny what his own eyes had witnessed, completely at a loss. Tae Mi grabbed his shoulder firmly and shook him to snap him out of it.
“Hey! Who gave this to you? Your aunt? Your great-aunt? Who was it?!”
Lane answered.
“My… my aunt. But why would she do such a thing…?”
Charlotte spoke.
“She might have been the first victim. Send her a telegram at once. And we must remove that thing from Ben’s body immediately.”
The moment her words left her lips, a sharp, piercing wail suddenly erupted behind the three of them.
It was so loud that even Cela Hopperwell, who had run off crying earlier, came rushing back in, screaming.
“My stomach hurts! Mom! Dad! It hurts so much!”
“Ben! Oh my goodness, Ben…!”
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
