she’s just too cute! story: her (shitty) dad was gonna sell her to a brother to pay off his own debts. she fought him in front of the brothel bc she didn’t want to be a sex slave (duh) then the rich nobleman who kinda knew her a lil bit bc she peddled shoes on the side of the road saw this and was like “wow that’s shitty” so he intervened, and after entering a bidding war with the madam, paid 500 taels ($18,000?) for her. she will now live as his fiancée and if she doesn’t pay him back in 3 years, she will mary him.

content warning eating disorder and abuse, but it’s good and also made me cry

a frankly delicious role reversal. like, i’d give it 4/5 stars for its genre, but i’m just so delighted be seeing the damsel regressor being the ML!
