   Why isn't anyone recommending this? It's really good! There are three female leads, each with their own distinct personality. All three have their own special abilities: Xu Sangbiao (Xu Qinglan) comes from the apocalypse; Lu Jianqiang (Lu Wanyi) comes from a time of famine; and the original female lead, Chen Tianzhen (Chen Xinyue), is supposed to have traveled from the apocalypse (but once Chen Tianzhen realizes her apocalyptic origins, she loses her ability to use her abilities). In the end, Chen Tianzhen perishes with the villagers, leaving only Xu Sangbiao and Lu Jianqiang to remember visiting her grave every year.
