After spending half her life being exploited by a family that favored sons over daughters, Lin Mo hides all her savings when signs of the apocalypse appear. She secretly rents a shop with a basement, stocks it with supplies, and reinforces its defenses, all to give herself a chance to survive.
When a meteor strike triggers a global EMP blackout and an extreme cold wave freezes the cities, her family's first reaction isn't to worry about her, but to come and seize her supplies. This time, Lin Mo cuts the ties of family for good and watches coldly as they struggle to survive the apocalypse.
From surviving alone in her basement, to venturing out and encountering robbers, to finding allies and overthrowing the hypocritical rulers of a so-called safe zone, Lin Mo gradually finds her footing among the ruins. She faces her family's greed and betrayal head-on, settling half a lifetime of scores with her own hands. She also leads a team against zombies and repels brutal forces, while unexpectedly uncovering the truth behind the apocalypse: this isn't a natural disaster, but a screening experiment conducted by an alien civilization.
As the “purification” crisis draws near, Lin Mo is no longer the weak woman who silently endured everything. She pools resources, establishes a survival base, and leads hundreds of survivors against the alien testers. In the depths of despair, she fights to carve out hope for humanity's survival, completing her transformation from the family's castoff to a leader of the apocalypse.
