   The female lead is incredibly strong in combat, but not very bright, though she definitely won't suffer any losses. Her adopted son is reborn, and she encounters relatives along the way who go from being her sister-in-law to her sister, but their interactions are incredibly heartwarming! The male lead is also very interesting. He's not your average ancient person.

Every choice she makes, every counterattack she takes, feels like she's steering her own life. Reading this book, you'll be moved by her resilience, as if you too can break free from life's "routine" and experience a different kind of brilliance and growth.

    Chapter 44 My Ideal Is Not for Profit We discussed the three souls of a person, the third being the "Youjing," also known as the human soul! My understanding is that it is the soul of emotion! This soul is actually very important to you, especially for those who have achieved great success in financial speculation. We see many successful people, such as those who have made a lot of money, like entrepreneurs! One of the most important reasons why these people surpass countless others is this soul of emotion! I wonder if you have noticed that many business people, some of whom see someone as poor or pitiful, will sell their goods at a very low price to earn a meager profit, or even not make a profit, if the other person bargains or simply doesn't have the money! Others, however, will offer a fixed price, regardless of whether the person is pitiful or poor, and may even try to leave without buying, not wanting to delay their business! Brother Lin, I have encountered both types of people when I went to the market to buy vegetables. What does this have to do with the third soul? Although the ancient book "Yunji Qiqian" does not provide a profound and detailed explanation, it does reveal that this soul is related to a person's emotions, personality, and reproductive ability. Let's consider it as the ability to transform! Some people are born with delicate, rich, and passionate emotions, even easily moved! Look at those true emperors of ancient times; though they possessed ruthless and decisive methods, they all harbored a deep love for their people! They were very perceptive of human nature and had a strong desire to help others! Just like those senior figures in the trading world you saw sitting in the living room this afternoon! The Southern Emperor, Master Xuntian, possesses a strong sense of national responsibility. He didn't buy mansions or luxury homes with the billions he profited from speculation; instead, he quietly donated large sums to impoverished areas, ensuring no media outlets knew to avoid distracting from his mission. Master Xuntian is so great! One day I want to become like him and learn from him! Amu said with a firm tone! Yes, before I founded the Lynch Group, I became close friends with him despite our age difference. I know his character very well; his success stems from this very spirit—a spirit of great love! We humans live only a fleeting life, and most people lack this kind of spirit. Or rather, even if it existed, it would be impossible to realize in a lifetime, to scatter this soul of love to the dust.

The book features a wealth of original content, a rarity in female-oriented fiction for its emphasis on tactical logic and vivid battle scenes, and a hardcore post-apocalyptic survival story. The female lead is a character who grows through experience, is a time traveler, and doesn't have any system or superpowers. It's not a sweet romance or a wish-fulfillment story.
