   I recently read a really good article that started with a sense of national duty and tells the story of everyone saving the world in a post-apocalyptic world. Many post-apocalyptic stories I've read before focus on how individuals become invincible in a world where everything is in ruins, but this one felt more realistic. It features nations, scientists, and everyone striving to make the world a better place.

   Strong female lead, strong male lead! Love-hate relationship! Defying fate! Fantasy romance! Heaven is unjust! Fight against heaven! Go crazy but don't waste your energy! The female lead is reborn with no rivals and directly attacks the male lead. In her previous life, the male lead killed her (there was a misunderstanding). He has been reborn many times, but he couldn't change the ending. This time, after the female lead's rebirth, he senses something different, and things change. From mutual exploitation at the beginning, they develop a love-hate relationship. The second male lead is a white moonlight, and he is unforgettable, even surpassing the male lead at one point. The male lead is extremely jealous, hypocritical, and manipulating the female lead. Both are highly intelligent, but their emotional intelligence is questionable. Just look at the rating of "9.6" to know it's absolutely amazing! I've personally watched it at least three times! 🤭[Top Post]
