With her disgust level already at 89 and only six months to survive, her plan is simple: rake in easy profits and coast to victory. There's just one complication: everyone can hear every thought inside her head.

Behind those tears: calculations about survival, acceptance that supporting characters deserve happiness too, and the uncomfortable truth that money remains desperately hard to earn. Yet somehow, against every scheming thought and selfish intention, she transforms into the family's most cherished treasure. How did manipulation become love? How did a villain become irreplaceable?
