“Abandoned at 62? Then I’ll wring this heartless ice city dry!”
Shangguan Jin, once the ruthless, ascetic queen of scientific research who held the world in the palm of her hand,
was cast aside in her sixtieth year
by the Dome City she had built herself, the “Empire of Eternal Life,”
and thrown into the “Graveyard of Silence”
because her aging had become an eyesore to the powerful!
She fled north to the Arctic. As her skin-wasting disease gnawed into her marrow, a dying glacier direwolf crashed into her ice cave.
Wanted criminal Xiao Jin? SSS-ranked combatant? Wasteland king?
To her, he was nothing but a walking space heater!
“Want to live? Sign the heater contract!”
An electric collar locked around his throat, a panel appeared, and her body temperature rose by 100!
The Phoenix Elixir made her young again overnight, turning her into a mature beauty,
and made her little wolf-dog sometimes go on a rampage and tear the place apart, and sometimes warm her bed and massage her shoulders.
Dome City sent her “ex-husband,” the SSS hunter Cold Crow, to provoke her:
“Is the heater you picked as long-lasting as I was?”
Xiao Jin teleported behind him and locked his throat, his molten fist shattering the armor:
“She’s cold. Who! Do! You! Think! You! Are, asking?!”
She built a fortress in the frozen wasteland, won hearts by trading warmth for lives, and stormed the Ice City to shatter its throne!
Until her ex-husband detonated the planet’s core, taking them both with him...
“Your life, or warmth?”
Shangguan Jin clutched Xiao Jin tight and plunged the twin blades of the serum that froze them in eternal life into each other’s hearts.
A century later, their frozen tomb became a monument. When the glacier mausoleum thawed, an archaeological team discovered:
Shangguan Jin’s eyelashes trembled inside her sleeping ice coffin.
A line of blazing holographic text ignited across the contract carved into her bones:
【Your loyal heater has thawed. So, how warm would you like it tonight?】
The maddest revenge in the world is turning your enemy’s world into fuel for your heater.
