Ji Yu, an ordinary college student who only knows how to draw, transmigrates into a book. Not only is she reborn as a minor character, but she also incurs a massive debt of three hundred taels of silver. If she can’t pay it off within a month, she’ll be forced to marry a fool!
However, she has inherited the original owner’s medical skills. To repay her debt, Ji Yu takes on multiple jobs: treating patients at a clinic during the day, painting portraits of beauties at brothels at night, and drawing erotic illustrations for bookstores in her spare time to earn extra money. Even so, she still can’t earn enough for three hundred taels.
Then she remembers a plot point in the book: a village girl finds an injured second male lead and becomes rich. So Ji Yu waited patiently by the river for three days, picking up the second male lead before the village girl could. She took him home, carefully tending to his wounds, hoping he would recover and give her a hundred taels of gold and a house, so she could pay off her debts and live a life of comfort.
However, after encountering the villainous second female lead and triggering the system, she realized she had picked up the wrong person—the villainous second female lead’s bodyguard from the book, a cold-blooded killer with blood on his hands who treated human life like dirt.
Ji Yu screamed inwardly: Give me back my noble Third Prince!!!
The original villainous male supporting character said: Picking me up isn’t a loss for you. I’ll protect you from now on, okay?
