Summary
A system sends Sang Ning to the black market to rescue a beastman destined for greatness. Unable to afford him, she instead buys He Ye, an injured and unwanted beastman the system insists will never change her fate. In her leaking one-room home, wary silence gives way to shared meals, fresh bandages, repaired roofs, and the quiet touch of his tail. But when He Ye’s hidden connection to the northern royal clan draws danger to their door, Sang Ning must decide whether saving someone is a bargain—or a promise not to leave each other behind.
