They can instantly clear hordes of zombies and see through the most hypocritical traps. But when teammates are critically injured, a traitor emerges, and a powerful force covets their fortress, this team, who entrust their backs to each other, will uncover the cruelest truth of the apocalypse—the sharpest blade is always held by those who know how to protect.

Gu Qinghuan's choice is: before their hearts break, teach them how to be whole. No cheat codes, no superpowers, just a girl and her 47 "anti-rebirth plans." When tragic characters collectively reject tragedy—this gentle "rebellion" is quietly taking place in Class 3 of Grade 1. "This time, none of us have to start over." 1. On the first day of school, the real heiress tears up her DNA report in front of the whole class. Under the watchful eyes of the class, Lin Wanwan tore the document proving her "real or fake heiress" identity into pieces and calmly said, "I don't need to prove my worth through blood ties." Next to the podium, the new transfer student, Gu Qinghuan, was the first to applaud. 2. On the day the school bully's white moonlight returned to the country, the substitute female supporting character won first place in the grade in the exam. Everyone was waiting to see Su Xiaoxiao make a fool of herself, but she stared at her own name on the honor roll and smiled: "It turns out that standing here, I can see further than standing next to him." 3. The "simp" heiress's birthday party was empty, yet she received 47 handmade gifts. Just when Qin Wei thought she had been abandoned by the world again, the classroom door opened—the whole class walked in carrying their own handmade gifts: "We're here for the 'Qin Wei Praise Party,' and everyone must mention three of her good points, no repeats allowed!" "This isn't a traditional redemption story—there's no condescending salvation, only a group of children illuminating each other's path through stumbles and falls." "When the 'standard tragic character' in a novel suddenly refuses to follow the script, every tiny act of resistance is deafening." "The most touching part isn't 'I changed your fate,' but 'Because of you, I want to become a better person.'" "In a trend of rebirth and revenge everywhere, this book gently reminds us: perhaps what we need most isn't the chance to 'start over,' but the courage to 'do it this time.'"

    Both are survival novels. The first is a survival story about leveling up on a raft at sea. It's an upgraded version of the raft-based survival novel, starting with fishing for supplies at sea, adventuring on various islands, and completing tasks and leveling up in the ocean and other dungeon maps. Various types of NPCs appear, offering rewarding quests. The NPCs have distinct personalities, and the female protagonist's interactions with them are very interesting. Overall, it's a lighthearted and enjoyable read. The second is a post-apocalyptic survival novel. The female protagonist leads her family to search for edible food, gradually increasing her abilities. Initially, it focuses on family survival, later shifting to contributions to the base and all survivors. I particularly enjoyed the daily interactions between the female protagonist and her pet bird.

    Shen Wei was simply going downstairs to pick up takeout when he was instantly knocked unconscious by a "system from the sky." When he opened his eyes again, a cold electronic voice echoed in his mind: [To compensate for the system's losses, the host has sold himself, now with a bonus: a reincarnation package in the cultivation world—you are currently pregnant.] Shen Wei: ??? So I'm still just a fetus?! It wasn't until he heard his pregnant mother's heartbeat: "My son can absorb spiritual energy in three months, he must be destined by heaven!" That he realized how outrageous this "compensation package" was— On the day of his birth, the sky was ablaze with light, and cranes came to pay homage. All the major sects were shaken: a once-in-a-millennium innate Dao body had been born! And the system in his sea of consciousness was silently pulling up the task panel: [Today's goal: Foundation building in the womb (completed)] "I'm a Chosen One in the Cultivation World"—From fetus to ascension, I've driven this cultivation world crazy.
