Life goals: Buy my freedom! Buy farmland! Become a landowning matriarch!
Transmigrating into an ugly, born-and-raised servant girl in a duke's estate? Su Jin calmly pulls out her “disguise kit.” Easy!
With a sallow face and thick eyebrows, she thrives in the inner household, a place like a battlefield:
Copy rare books? Sell secret recipes? Design bestselling embroidery? She's got all kinds of unconventional ways to make money!
Concubines scheming against each other? Petty people setting traps? She turns their schemes to her advantage, lets them fight each other, and keeps herself spotless!
> Everyone: That ugly maid has some weird kind of luck!
> Su Jin: I keep a low profile and quietly count my money while waiting to buy my freedom.
On her first day outside the estate, she stuns everyone with her real beauty! She also “finds” a handsome man by the roadside, gravely wounded.
Su Jin, eyes shining: How about becoming my bodyguard? The pay is excellent!
Xiao Ye, gravely wounded and on the verge of death: ...Fine.
She thought she'd found a cold, obedient tool, but it turns out she's struck gold:
Her business is booming and attracting jealous rivals? He secretly takes action, and her enemies vanish without a trace!
Even more outrageous, this big shot guards her fields by day and stands watch at her door by night, while the look in his eyes grows hotter and hotter...
> Su Jin, clutching her money pouch: I thought you were just my bodyguard. Since when did “marry me in return” become part of the deal?
