   I'm a seasoned fan of Japanese post-apocalyptic stories, and wow, the female lead in this one is seriously insane. Even the main characters are crazy and not saintly at all. They help survivors, but when it's necessary to sacrifice lives, they don't hesitate. And no matter how many people they recruit, in the end, there are still only the five of them.

   Reader note

   The female lead is incredibly strong; she appears delicate but is actually a surprisingly powerful "steel-toothed little white rabbit." She's a plant spirit from the cultivation world who transmigrates to a post-apocalyptic world. Although she doesn't understand many things, she's discerning, obedient, and intelligent. The male lead appears early in the story and is very powerful. He instinctively protects her, even knowing she's strong, and is extremely doting on her. He has his own team, and there aren't any major plot holes. It's a sweet, slightly cheesy story. It contains some old-fashioned tropes and is a little awkward, but it's definitely packed with sweetness.

   No romantic pairing. The female lead is not a saint; she is decisive and ruthless. In the early stages, she hoards resources, builds an all-female team, establishes power, and rescues suffering women along the way. She has pets and mutated plants that accompany her group.
