   I highly recommend this post-apocalyptic transmigration novel! The female protagonist wakes up to find herself in a wasteland swallowed by a gray tide, luckily carrying a magical orchard with her. All the fruits in the orchard can talk, each with a quirky imagination and a constant stream of gossip. Later, the protagonist chooses to hand the orchard over to the government, working with the base personnel to research fruit trees, purify the land, and grow crops, transforming herself from a lone survivor into a beacon of hope for many. No palace intrigue? No political maneuvering? None of that! It's all lighthearted daily life with a savior storyline, and the pacing is incredibly comfortable.
