Side-character self-rescue + a lovesick man’s awakening + bickering couple + making the whole family rich
(The leads do not fall in love at first sight.)
Ten years after transmigrating into a book, Zhao Liuyue awakens to the full plot.
She is the notorious villainous side character in the story, hopelessly in love with the second male lead, Lu Shen. Driven mad by love, she constantly makes life difficult for the gentle female lead and puts her down.
In the end, she meets a tragic fate: the man she loves runs her through the heart with his own sword.
The new Zhao Liuyue refuses to play along!
Let whoever wants to be a lovesick fool do it. Let whoever wants to follow the plot do it.
Repaying a life debt? Giving away her money? Throwing her life away for love?
Sorry, none of that is happening.
She’ll save people, sure, but only if they pay.
Leftovers will fill your stomach, but there’s no chance of getting anything for free!
From then on, the original storyline goes completely off track.
While others fall in love, she watches from the sidelines.
While others agonize over tangled relationships, she makes money and enjoys her meals.
No one expects the second male lead, who was supposed to devotedly protect the heroine, to gradually start acting strangely.
He used to dismiss her. Now he watches her every move.
Watching Zhao Liuyue focus on nothing but counting her silver, Lu Shen completely loses it:
"Am I not better to look at than silver? Marry me, and you’ll have more money than you can count!"
