When the zombie virus tears away civilization's thin veneer, medical student Lin Fan grips a potassium chloride syringe, ready to die alongside his unconscious girlfriend, Su Qingxue.
But just as the horde breaks through the door, she wakes up.
A bloody war goddess who crushes zombie necks with her bare hands, yet clutches his clothes like a lost child after battle. Fingers strong enough to rip steel apart, yet obediently waiting for him to wipe away the blood. When people call her a “monster,” she flies into a rage to protect him, then retreats behind his back with an aggrieved growl.
Su Qingxue has mutated into a zombie war goddess who retains fragments of her humanity, while Lin Fan has cast aside every last trace of compassion. He watches coldly as the weak are weeded out and kills traitors with his own hands, all to protect the dependence that occasionally flickers in her vacant eyes in this man-eating Apocalypse.
As the secret of “immortal matter” comes to light and a mysterious organization regards her as a “vessel” capable of curing the Apocalypse, this solitary journey through the end of the world, undertaken in the name of protecting her, will ultimately descend into a crimson abyss, torn between humanity and savagery.
“Whether you're a monster or a war goddess, I'll wait for you to wake up.”
