Wen Xiaoman is a well-known "Wen Banguan" in Bianjing Nancheng - he is very good at settling accounts and money, and he can force people into a corner to breathe when collecting debts. But she was short of money. In order to repay Butcher Wu's usury loan at a compound interest rate, she had to redeem the house left by her mother with the deed before the 30th of the twelfth lunar month, even if it was short of a copper penny.
That night, a young man covered in blood fell in front of her door. She wanted to close the door and pretend she didn't see it, but she immediately recognized the hidden clan lines in his clothes - he was from the royal family. As soon as he moved his fingers, the golden abacus in his arms rang first: save his life and get 30% profit from him. No matter how you calculate it, it is more cost-effective than going to the dock to carry work.
But when she finally rescued the person, she realized that the deal was a huge loss. This man didn't even understand "What is a 30% profit?" He couldn't boil hot water or wear clothes. He wanted to save face and suffered; but when he killed people, he was so clean that he didn't even raise his eyelids. What was chasing him was a reward of fifty taels of silver all over the city, and an old case involving his life.
She just wanted to ask for money, but he insisted on giving her life back. She was a money-hungry orphan who struggled in the market and had no plans, but she was left to be relied upon by this aloof, exiled royal relative who knew nothing about anything - so much so that her half house and life became his escape route.
"You owe me not a penny less." She gritted her teeth.
He looked at her and said slowly: "Okay."
It's just that from money debt to life debt, and then to love debt, she is afraid she will never be able to settle this debt again.
