   A story of sentinels, guides, superpowers, and academy battles with multiple male protagonists vying for supremacy, featuring a female protagonist who is arrogant and grows stronger. Set in a post-wasteland era where sentinels are as ubiquitous as double-door refrigerators, Wu Mang, a low-class human woman ridiculed as a greyhound, has a spiritual body that is an insignificant mechanical ant ruling over humanity. Yet, Gaia, a super artificial intelligence, assigns her five guides at once, each a renowned figure in their respective fields: a haughty heir to the White Tower, a yandere and gloomy noble philanthropist, a cold and resolute battlefield commander, a foolish, rich, and arrogant chairman, and a morally ambiguous high priest of the Holy Temple. They take turns assisting her in leveling up and providing her with mental guidance, feeding her whatever she wants.

She initially plans to live a carefree life but is unexpectedly forced into a marriage, and even gains a silly system that binds her to her betrothed husband (the crown prince).

    The female lead possesses exceptional leadership skills, formidable combat abilities, and a clear mind; those around her feel safe with her around. In her past life, she was a team leader in a post-apocalyptic conflict, a high-level ability user who perished protecting her teammates against mutants. Her soul transmigrated to ancient times and was rescued by an old woman. She possesses wood-based abilities, allowing her to sense vegetation, generate harmful energy, and identify poisons—all instinctive. Before the invasion of bandits, she led the villagers to safety. Even without her abilities, she is formidable in combat. After arriving in ancient times, she lives a serious life. The female lead's character is incredibly charming. The male lead appears late in the story and has limited screen time. There's no love at first sight, and they have few scenes together. Even after several dozen chapters, the two remain somewhat estranged, currently only connected through the male lead's grandmother, sister, and the enemy Northern Di people.

It's about the romance between the Underworld King and the Demon Lord, and it focuses more on the female lead's journey to becoming stronger step by step. The fourth book is a transmigration fantasy cultivation novel where the female lead leads her sect to become stronger. The female lead is a junior sister, and it's also about her journey to becoming stronger step by step. The fifth book is a novel about a rich and beautiful woman with a bound system.

There are no penalties for signing in every day, and every day she gets something unique to her (such as a villa, a building, or a company, etc.).
