Everything she does serves the business's objectives. It's not a typical "saintly" story and includes scenes of revenge and slapping down villains.

    🌲The female protagonist originally transmigrated to save a female supporting character's employee, thinking she could take a vacation after accumulating enough points. However, she ended up being bound to a shop-opening system, tasked with opening a shop in a post-apocalyptic world. 🌲The female protagonist transmigrated to the apocalypse, not only herself but also two skinny kids. She was besieged the moment she opened her eyes, but thankfully she was bound to the strongest shop-opening system. Thus began the female protagonist's happy daily life of collecting treasures and raising children. (Not a saintly character.)

    This perfectly matches the poster's requirements! The female protagonist has a management system and runs a hot spring inn in a desert apocalypse. The main storyline revolves around the inn's management, from a small cabin to a resort. There are many ensemble characters. Overall, it's a short, uplifting story about how a group of people strive to survive in a post-apocalyptic world.

    2, 3, And 4 all have quite a few words. 2 Should be considered finished, 1 is a new story, and the synopsis looks promising, so I plan to save it for later. 4 Is also not finished yet, so I plan to save it as well. I'm not sure if 3 and 4 contain any insulting language. I recommend 1 and 2 because they almost never do; I haven't looked at them very closely, but I don't think they do. 1 Has over 40 chapters now. The female lead manages an entire city; it's a post-apocalyptic fantasy, the female lead is invincible, there's no romance, it's purely a feel-good story. 2 Needs no introduction, it's really good, and many people recommend it. 3 Is also good; although it's about survival, I feel it's also about managing an island. 4 Is a food-themed story, about running a restaurant, still purely a feel-good story; I don't remember if there's a romance. These are all personal preferences; you can check the synopsis or reviews before deciding whether to read them.
