    A sweet post-apocalyptic romance novel, highly recommended to everyone!!! The female lead is a yew tree that transforms into a human a month before the apocalypse. She finds the severely injured and unconscious male lead shortly after descending the mountain, and is then persuaded by him to follow her.
