[Apocalypse] [Strong Female Lead] [Farming and Infrastructure] [The Fourth Calamity] [Cultivation] [No Romance, Career-Focused] [Ensemble Cast]
On the first night of the calamity, the Imperial Preceptor calculates the omens: a murderous force has emerged, and all the world’s karma rests on the princess alone.
Li Zhiwei: Thanks for asking. I just want to laze around in a Taoist temple.
But the Apocalypse gives her no such chance. Mutations spread through the food chain; famine, riots, and refugees besiege the cities, and the prosperous age collapses overnight.
She presses a hand down, and the mutations subside. Only then does the world realize she is its one and only cure.
But something even more terrifying has only just arrived.
Undying souls from beyond the heavens: they call it a game, and their respawn point is in her temple.
Every time they die, their tribulations deepen; she, meanwhile, has only one life and can’t afford to die.
The court calls her a bad omen, and even her father, the emperor, can’t protect her.
She’ll open up wasteland, grow crops, gather refugees, build a city, and give the people a home. She’ll turn the undying soldiers into blades that protect the world.
The murderous force follows its master’s heart: it can save the world, or destroy it.
She never wanted to be chosen by fate, but she’s going to turn this whole game of fate upside down.
