Legend has it that when a [Heartseed Alien] falls in love, the seed in their chest sprouts and grows, blooming into a radiant flower.
That flower is incredibly precious. In an emergency, it can even serve as a second life, and [Heartseed Aliens] often give it to the person they love.
Ever since transmigrating into a descendant of the [Heartseed Aliens] and inheriting an entire desolate planet, Xike had to greet the people trying to "win her over" with a perfectly expressionless face.
Xike: "I need to upgrade my planet's defenses against outsiders. Install laser cannons, laser fences, and a visitor management system."
Staff member: "Five hundred million star coins."
Xike: "..."
She turned her attention to the group trying to win her over.
Her aloof, haughty master, the will of the planet
Her younger brother, who grew up alongside her, looks exactly like her, and has an overwhelming possessive streak
Her fiance, who pores over ancient books trying to prove their engagement is legally binding
The liquid-being prince, who wants to stuff the person he likes inside his body every day
The shadow-being judge, who has tried to imprison her countless times...
Great. Time to fleece them.

The pale-purple liquid being said, "I want to swallow everything that carries your scent."
Xike replied, "A banquet table costs fifty thousand star coins. I grew all the ingredients myself, so everything will be infused with my scent."
The pitch-black shadow being said, "Why should lowly sunlight be allowed to touch you?"
Xike replied, "Can't stand the sun? I have plant-based oil that blocks sunlight, ten thousand star coins a bottle. Pay up and I'll put it on myself."
The aristocratic cat-person, with its silky fur, said, "I can't sleep without something of yours beside me."
Xike replied, "I just made a hayflower pillow the other day. Thirty thousand star coins, and you'll get a little blanket free if you buy now."
Young men of the highest caliber from all kinds of planets arrived on Heartseed, full of confidence, convinced it would be easy to win Xike over.
But they eventually realized that she smiled at them only when they were paying. The rest of the time, she treated them like air.
And worse, their hearts began to stir at her every move.
"Look at me." "Please look at me." "Why won't you look at me?" "I'm begging you, look at me."

1. A reverse harem (?), one woman and multiple men, with separate endings in the bonus chapters.
2. All male love interests are nonhuman, including but not limited to spirits, slimes, and shadows. Some wear masks or have unusual heads; in short, they're all humanoid.
3. All the men behave like gentlemen.
4. Thanks to my friend for giving me such a brilliant title. Teacher, you absolutely must go astray (x)
