Her wicked former in-laws want to raise a bride price for their younger son, so they plan to sell her to a super-strong old man in the neighboring village.
Lin Tingwan sneers, kicks the door to pieces, grabs the household registration booklet, and takes her adorable little one straight to an island!
Bound to the [No Dating, Just a Cash Machine for Turning Down Suitors] System, she can score a flood of supplies and god-tier blueprints as long as she coldly rejects every suitor!
A young islander offers to help? Lin Tingwan says, "Get lost. Don't distract me from making money!" [Ding! Rejection successful. Reward: one deep-sea fishing vessel!]
