    A purely natural disaster story with no zombies or superpowers, featuring a slice-of-life farming theme. A mature, strong female lead. Due to a semi-collapsed timeline and official support, the setting is somewhat reminiscent of a period drama, focusing on a heartwarming and realistic post-apocalyptic survival experience. There are no overly exaggerated settings; it's a typical six-person family's daily life during the disaster. The female lead starts by cremating her cheating boyfriend, dividing his assets, raising her child, and stockpiling supplies. The male lead is a great teammate in the disaster relief effort, helping her stockpile supplies across the country and spending his entire 2 million yuan savings. The romance is primarily slice-of-life, with a gradual development across past and present lives. The six-person family works together to fight the disaster; the male and female leads are intelligent, decisive, and possess exceptional personal charm. It's a story of revenge and humiliation, with no incompetent teammates or ungrateful characters—a true story of nationwide disaster relief—a very satisfying read! Girls who enjoy realistic and satisfying stories can confidently jump in!
