When the apocalypse arrives, Shen Xi’s family stockpile attracts greedy attackers. At a critical moment, her cousin and fiancé save her. To repay them, Shen Xi trades all her supplies for six months of security for the two of them.
But on the escape route, Shen Xi is pushed into a horde of zombies by the very cousin she tried to save. As she dies, she learns that her cousin and fiancé had been seeing each other all along. Shen Xi realizes she mistook her enemies for her benefactors, and bitterly regrets it!
But fate takes pity on her. When she opens her eyes again, Shen Xi is back one month before the apocalypse…
Seeing her family alive and well before her, Shen Xi weeps with joy. She vows never to trust a scumbag again in this life and starts stockpiling supplies early with her family. Unfortunately, she discovers that fresh foods like fruit and vegetables can’t be kept from spoiling.
Just as she’s worrying over this, she accidentally forms a blood pact with a ring. The ring offers her a deal: if she helps it cultivate and grow stronger, it will give her a pocket dimension where food can stay fresh forever. Shen Xi happily agrees, but when she finds out that the powerhouse’s cultivation method is actually dual cultivation, she wants to break the contract!
A few things to note: This is a slow-burn story, not a wish-fulfillment romp. The female lead is reborn, and the second male lead is reborn too. The male lead isn’t human. The female lead is weak at first, not the kind who immediately unleashes her full power. She grows stronger little by little as the story progresses.
