In the fifth year of the apocalypse, muscle putrefaction is rampant. One genuine special medicine can replace 10 kilograms of compressed food. Countless infected people died of ulceration and despair.
Lin Yan woke up from the pharmacy in a modern hospital with only a portable box containing commonly used medicines. She doesn't understand the rules of survival in the apocalypse, but she holds what survivors crave most - the knowledge of pharmaceuticals. When a mutated dandelion can brew a life-saving medicine, and when an abandoned hospital holds hope for fighting the virus, she becomes a "living prescription" coveted by the black market and a light in the eyes of the infected.
Former retired soldier Lu Ye's knife is her line of defense; the sick girl's blossoming smile is her obsession. What she has to fight is not only the raging viruses and ferocious mutant creatures, but also the evil forces that monopolize medicines, as well as the cruel choice between "saving one person" and "protecting oneself".
In the ruins of the crumbling city, Lin Yan used a self-made potion to tear through the darkness: "There is no God in the end of the world, but I want to make life no longer a luxury."
