The Tsundere Young Master’s Scam: A Good-for-Nothing Girl’s Bankruptcy Log

Yun Zhao is the famous good-for-nothing of a fallen beast-taming family. She spends her days chatting with the weeds outside her door and getting mocked to her face by relatives. Her life’s ambition is to grow an acre of spirit plants that can fertilize themselves. Then one day, she finds an unbelievably handsome young man unconscious by the river. She thinks she’s struck gold, but the first thing he does after waking isn’t thank her. Instead, he complains that her herbs are too cheap and her house too shabby, then “scams” her into signing an unfair contract and shamelessly siphons off what little life force she has!

This young master, named Su Ye, is so badly injured he’s barely alive, yet impossibly fussy: he’ll only drink the first drop of morning dew, needs three layers of snow-silkworm silk to sleep, and insists on critiquing every meal even while fleeing for his life. “This porridge was cooked for 0.3 seconds too long.” Worse, their escape keeps attracting bizarre companions: Mo Li, a treasure hunter who loves money above all else and says “That’ll cost extra!” at every turn; Nishang, a genius doctor obsessed with food who sees a monster and asks, “Does this thing go crunch?”; a dim-witted monkey who’s afraid of the cold but insists on playing with ice; a battle vine obsessed with braiding hair; and a dandelion sprite with an unbeatable mouth...

Yun Zhao clutches her head and wails, “I only wanted to quietly be a good-for-nothing, so why am I stuck raising this whole ridiculous crew?!” Meanwhile, the cold, sharp-tongued, tsundere young master criticizes her for having “crude spiritual power and slow reflexes,” while secretly clearing obstacles for her and helping her improve... So is this a terrible contract or a sweet burden? Find out how a good-for-nothing girl turns the tables against all odds, leads her eccentric team to become the strongest, and wins over the tsundere young master along the way.
