Break Off the Engagement? Perfect! I'm Busy Growing Magical Herbs and Getting Rich

When Vera is reborn, her fiance is busy arranging an "easy job" for her to do after they marry.

In her previous life, she followed his plan and left the clinic. Then the Black Frost came, the medicinal herbs failed to grow, and her brother fell gravely ill. Even though she knew how to treat him, she couldn't afford the medicine that would save his life.

This time, she takes off her engagement ring, gathers the forty silver coins she's saved, and heads to the abandoned estate her mother left her, intending to grow medicinal herbs herself.

The only problem is, she doesn't know how to farm.

Until a strange orange-and-white cat follows her back to the estate.

The kitten won't eat meat and only nibbles on tender grass. It's surprisingly good at loosening the soil and getting seeds to sprout.

Vera: ...So the best farmer in the family is the cat?

Vera thinks it over. Fine, then. They'll work together.

When her first bag of medicinal herbs earns her silver coins, she counts them again and again.

Later, her herb fields grow bigger and bigger, and the warehouse gradually fills with medicinal herbs. She opens her own apothecary, then starts planning when she might open another clinic.

She needs to stock up on life-saving medicine and food for winter. She can even buy herself the dress in the shop window that she couldn't afford before.

Her life gets better and better.

It's just that the herbs she's growing are getting stranger, and so are the patients who come looking for her.

One night, a perfectly ordinary herb pulls itself out of the ground and runs away.

The one crouching beside her to catch the "thief" is a sharp-tongued knight.

When they first meet, he infuriates her with just a few words. But the longer they spend together, the more Vera realizes he's actually a pretty good guy. He's rude, but he's quick to apologize.

She thinks she only fell for him after spending so much time together, not knowing that the knight had been smitten with her since their very first meeting.
