The Healer Demands Payment!

[One-line summary: Never loved him! No trading my life for yours! Pay up!]

Once upon a time, there was a minor character who was devoted to medicine.

Only after dying once did she realize that no matter how skilled she was, she could only ever serve as a foil to the heroine. The moment she got involved with the male lead or any of the supporting male characters, misfortune came one thing after another.

She kindly saved a supporting male character while gathering herbs, only to be hunted down. When he woke up, he was forever grateful to the heroine instead, and even thought the demon beast that injured him was her pet.

She stayed up day and night to cure the male lead's rare poison. Once she finally got some rest, the story changed: the male lead had been saved by the heroine, while she was the despicable villain who poisoned him.

So when she gets a second chance at life, she firmly adopts the principle of "payment first, treatment second," and...

Three times the fee for the male side characters who know the heroine and are in love with her!

Ten times the fee for the supporting male characters who can get involved in a flirtation with the heroine!

A hundred times the fee for the male lead, the most important one of all!

After she spends a long time using money to keep these men at arm's length and draw a clear line, the male leads and supporting characters, powerful enough to awe the whole world of cultivation, insist on coming to her for treatment even over a tiny cut on their fingers...

She finally becomes the richest person in the cultivation world!

When Jiang Ranran is brought to the Tang family, a handsome, refined man tells her coldly:

"Under our contract, I won't touch you, much less love you. Don't let anyone find out about us. All you have to do is dress up as I ask whenever I want to see you. In return, I'll pay off your debt, and you can use this card however you like."

Jiang Ranran is at the end of her rope and barely able to survive. Seeing the unlimited black card before her, she is moved. "That's all? You're such a good person!"

She immediately buys all the specialized art books she'd been wanting from the bookstore.

She signs up for every training course she'd ever wanted to take, all at once.

She buys all the computers, design software, model-making supplies, and art materials she could never afford before.

Later, Tang Jiaxi sits among the guests with many others, watching Jiang Ranran, the youngest-ever Pritzker Prize winner, deliver her acceptance speech onstage. "...Lastly, I want to thank a gentleman who wishes to remain anonymous for his generous support. Thank you. You really are a wonderful person!"

Backstage after the ceremony, Tang Jiaxi, having received yet another "good person" card, pins her against the wall and grits his teeth. "Do I not even deserve a name to you?"

The girl in his arms is radiant, her eyes full of laughter. "Mr. Tang, I've followed the contract to the letter. I can't afford the penalty for breaking it... Mmph... You..."

"...I'll pay it!"
