    The female protagonist was very cautious after transmigrating to ancient times. As a slave, she kept to herself, never speaking out or overstepping boundaries, and acted quite prudently. However, she had a best friend who caused trouble, so the female protagonist could only preserve evidence or offer suggestions each time to successfully protect herself.
