One second before the apocalypse began, Yu Feiye was still throwing a tantrum on the streets of Rome, all because Li Zhanting hadn’t bought her handmade gelato right away.
She was a pampered young lady, cherished by everyone around her. Ever since Li Zhanting won her over in high school, he had spoiled her without restraint. When she forgot her notes for class, he copied out two sets in advance. When cramps made her wince, he ran all over half the city with a hot-water bottle and painkillers. Even when she chose her university major, he went along with her wishes, supporting her switch from finance to the obscure field of art history.
In everyone else’s eyes, Li Zhanting was a prodigy blessed by heaven: born into a wealthy family, stunningly handsome, and almost impossibly intelligent. But Yu Feiye was the one person he could never say no to. From love at first sight on their high school campus to walking side by side into the same university, he had grown used to indulging her spoiled ways and letting her have her little fits of temper. He thought he could protect her like that for the rest of their lives.
Then the alarm during their trip abroad split the sky. The romantic sounds of the street gave way to the roars of zombies, and the bustling city became a living hell in an instant.
The first time the pampered Yu Feiye faced true fear, Li Zhanting held her close and fought with all his might to carve out a way to survive. When she cried that she was afraid of hunger and the dark, his meticulous, top-student mind helped him find supplies in the ruins and build a safe zone, and he put their precious food to her lips first.
Some said Yu Feiye’s spoiled nature wouldn’t let her last three days in the apocalypse, but Li Zhanting was determined to defy fate. He would take his little princess through a devastated world and turn their shattered days back into a life where she was cherished.
