[Apocalypse / strong heroine / unhinged / supernatural powers / revenge and putting scumbags in their place / satisfying read / one-on-one romance]
Here's the bottom line: I'm Li Ge, the only SSS-rank emotion controller in the apocalypse, and my daily problem is... the whole world is too noisy.
Ever since I learned to “hear” emotions, all I feel is annoyance.
Scene one: I run into a hunk with an eight-pack, and he starts flirting with me.
I was going to whistle, but then I “heard” him thinking, [This chick is hot. She'd make a perfect seventh wife for my stronghold].
Me: (old lady on the subway staring at her phone.jpg) I kick him into a horde of zombies. “Go back to the factory and get remade, would you?”
Scene two: A seemingly honest survivor kneels and begs me to take him in.
I was just about to show some kindness when I “heard” him thinking nothing but, [Once she falls asleep, I'll steal all her supplies and make a run for it].
Me: (sneers) “Sure. I'll take you somewhere nice.” Then I bundle him off to my ex-boyfriend's patrol squad.
Scene three: The tech mogul named Lu Yuan invites me to work with him.
As usual, I “listen,” ready to pick a fight, but his emotions are as still as a dead pond. One line drifts through his mind: [This variable is interesting. I want to observe it up close].
Me: ???
Seriously, dude, why are you acting so aloof? With emotions this flat, what am I supposed to enjoy with my meals?!
From then on, putting scumbags in their place is my main job, while getting Lu Yuan to “break character” becomes my most important KPI.
After all, the apocalypse is so boring. I have to find some fun somewhere, right? (rests chin in hand)
