The Pampered Heiress of the Apocalypse

Before the apocalypse, Lu Le was a pampered young lady who lived in style.

After the apocalypse, Lu Le is... an even more pampered young lady, living in even greater style.

While everyone else runs for their lives, she stays in a villa, eats the best food, sleeps in the comfiest bed, and flirts with the hottest guys.

When they go to the mall to restock: everyone else grabs food, while she takes only handbags, gowns, jewelry, and perfume!

When they battle zombie mutants: everyone else hacks off zombie heads, while she paints the zombies' nails!

When they finally find a base: everyone else collapses into bed, while she threatens to leave if there's no silk comforter!

Her first teammates in the apocalypse: Lu Le is a weirdo, an oddball. She'll get herself killed sooner or later!

Her later teammates: The young lady is awesome!

Lu Le looks at the [Limited-edition LV handbag that dazzles poor zombies and keeps you safe and sound], [Hermes perfume that makes plants confess their love after you spray it], [Handmade Dutch chocolate that grants you an iron shield for 24 hours with one bite]...

Lu Le: I want to keep a low profile, too, but my golden finger won't let me.

[A little bonus scene]:

One day, the young lady casually fishes a pretty boy out of the river.

Everyone gathers around: Tsk, what a weakling.

Later, when they learn who he really is...

Everyone wishes they could drop to their knees and cry out: Big shot, please accept my bow!

But in the big shot's eyes, there's only that pampered young lady.

Reading guide:

1. One-on-one, the heroine is doted on by everyone, she's the strongest, and the hero is no ordinary person.

2. Includes traditional ghost and monster fantasy elements.

3. Don't recommend blocking the author's notes. They contain lots of bonus scenes, and the author doesn't ramble much.

[Coming soon: the redemptive age-gap romance The Absurd, blurb below]

Everyone on Cypress Street knows that Song E's mother died young, and his father is a violent gambling drunk who takes his anger out on him. His stepmother and younger brother play along with his father, making Song E's life harder and harder.

Everyone understands without needing to say it. They only show their sympathy from afar and murmur, "Poor thing."

At just ten years old, Song E can't fight back, so he decides they should all die together.

On the day he makes his preparations, Wen Shi moves to Cypress Street. She seems like a goddess who has stepped out of the light, bringing him warmth and treating him with respect.

When his awful father beats him again, she even spreads her arms and bravely stands in front of him.

She tries to save him.

That night, he writes in his diary: "I met someone, and I want to... destroy her."

*

At eighteen, Song E is a famous genius at Qing University, known far and wide for his intelligence. He's handsome, smart, and good at making money. His only flaw is that he doesn't like talking to people.

Everyone knows he has a childhood friend who lives next door. He obeys her without question and gives her everything, asking for nothing in return.

Everyone envies her: "Wow, he's practically a saint of a little brother!"

Wen Shi thinks so, too.

Until one day, at a birthday party, Wen Shi gets drunk after a breakup. Song E picks her up in his arms and walks away, leaving everything behind.

The next day, someone hears them arguing.

Wen Shi's voice is near breaking: "...I'm sorry! I'll turn myself in."

Song E's voice is low, tinged with either restraint or sorrow. "What if I told you I did it willingly last night?"

Content warnings:

1. The heroine has had an ex. Just as she starts a relationship, her little brother ruins it. The hero loves only the heroine.

2. A gentle, approachable girl-next-door x a scheming younger man who plots every step. Five-year age gap.

3. The hero is a dog, a manipulative flirt, and malicious. At first, he even hates the heroine. He's a highly intelligent sociopath and genuinely not a good kid.

4. Kinks aren't a reflection of one's values. This is self-indulgent fiction, so please don't apply it to real life!
