The female lead is a supporting character in multiple books, practically invisible in her family, doing all the dirty and tiring work every day. However, she is decisive and efficient, which is a major appealing aspect; watching her work is never frustrating. She's a prodigy, successfully passing multiple job exams. She uses her first two jobs to buy money and travel to other cities, transferring her household registration there. She also possesses a spatial ability, which she later uses to counteract the overly favored protagonist's luck in typical romance novels. Furthermore, she's afraid of death, always carrying a dagger, brick, and hammer, ready to knock out criminals on sight.
