When The Silver Bell Of Charlotte's Pharmacy Rings (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 97
It wasn’t that the servants were slacking off—Matiel had simply woken up this morning in a place where there were no servants at all. For the first time, he found himself thinking the strange thought that it was fortunate Adonion couldn’t peer into his mind.
“There was… something that came up.”
“A woman?”
Matiel instinctively stole a glance at Adonion. In response, the corners of Adonion’s eyes narrowed mischievously behind his monocle.
“Ah, so I guessed right. Isn’t that so?”
“I don’t understand what you mean.”
Just then, one of the king’s attendants arrived to summon Matiel. Silently thanking the king for his impeccable timing, Matiel took his leave of Adonion.
“Don’t forget to tell me about it later!”
You really love gossip, don’t you? Matiel scoffed inwardly.
King Ryuen received Matiel while seated, looking slightly fatigued. Leaning against a chaise longue delicately embroidered with white morning glories, he propped up one side of his head as if suffering from a headache.
“I present myself before Your Majesty.”
“Sit down, Duke Elinak.”
Matiel bowed once more and took a seat opposite her.
“Are you unwell?”
“It’s merely a lack of sleep. Now then, was the matter resolved successfully?”
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
