Man Xiaoqing is reborn before the apocalypse begins and awakens the bloodline of the Miao. She rushes to stockpile supplies while taking her daughter, who has spatial powers, to find the child's father, who will one day become the Zombie King. Faced with raging swarms of insects and beasts, epidemics, storms, floods, volcanic eruptions, and tsunamis… as well as human hearts more treacherous than any natural disaster, Man Xiaoqing takes on vicious relatives and bullies, breaks up alliances, and fights for power and territory. She also uses her Miao bloodline to capture insects and make Gu, poisoning her enemies and healing the good. In the apocalypse, she builds a peaceful haven apart from the world.
