   I'd still like to recommend the first two books. The highlight of the first one is that the male protagonist leaves no hidden dangers. For example, when his enemies from his past life are almost gone, he eliminates them first. If he discovers someone harboring resentment towards him, he eliminates them as well.

The female lead is intelligent and strong, with strong morals and excellent martial arts skills, while the male lead is a clever prince from the cold palace. They grow up together as childhood sweethearts, but the plot doesn't feel abrupt at all. The protagonists' journey from weak to strong is well-developed without any illogical moments.

    Having read for many years, I've finished these three post-apocalyptic novels from cover to cover, and they're absolutely amazing. 1: I absolutely love them, they're my number one. Although they're only a little over 200 chapters, the characters are very well-developed and three-dimensional. The parents' love is so sweet; even with the kids grown up, the parents are still pure-hearted warriors [almost crying emoji]. The last few chapters were so moving; Hart is so gentle, and the zombies are also sick people, so pitiful. 2: Veteran readers should have already read these, no need to say more. 3: Personally, I feel they're not as amazing as the first two. Although the ratings aren't great, I still finished all 700+ chapters. They're very good, no romance, the female lead has a strong sense of national responsibility but isn't a saint, and in the end, she saves many people.

    An unconventional harem story, featuring elements of wish fulfillment, rebirth, ruthless characters, beautiful women, post-apocalyptic stockpiling, relentless disasters, and villains. It's quite interesting, with a strong opening sequence. Worth recommending, you know what I mean.
