The heroine isn't a self-sacrificing saint. She's highly intelligent and cuts a bloody path through the world.]

On her first day after transmigrating into the body of a farmer's daughter, Jiang Shuyun finds herself burdened with a debt of three shi of grain.

Her father has a broken leg, her younger brother is still a child, and Village Head Zhang is using a written agreement to force her to “repay the debt with her body.”

But when she looks at the agreement...

The grain debt is real, but the compounding interest is made up. And taking a person as payment is nothing more than an unwritten “old custom” that no one can clearly explain.

In her previous life, she was a lawyer. There's one thing she trusts least: “That's just how everyone does it.”

Starting with a single written agreement, she investigates grain accounts, verifies household registers, repairs wells, and puts village affairs in order. From a farmer's daughter who could barely get enough to eat, she carves out a path no one has ever taken, step by step entering a far bigger game.
