In the year 2475 of the New Calendar, an unknown virus breaks out. Corpses soon litter the land, and humanity's habitable territory shrinks at an alarming rate. Mindless zombies become humanity's greatest enemy.
Liu Xuan is a useless layabout with no special abilities. She lazes around and bullies civilians, committing every kind of vile deed. Then she receives word that her own father died taking an S-rank zombie down with him.
Liu Xuan: "..."
After inciting public outrage, Liu Xuan is driven out of the Central District and into the lowest-ranked Lower District.
Everyone waits to see Liu Xuan make a fool of herself, and to watch her die at the hands of some low-level zombie that invades the Lower District.
But before long, those waiting for a laugh are disappointed. Liu Xuan not only lives better and better, but one day she even receives a special "gift":
An Alpha, tied up from head to toe and delivered right to her.
-
In a post-apocalyptic world overrun by zombies and full of danger, Xiao Shuo is an undisputed powerhouse.
Given enough time, he is sure to become the most powerful ability user in the entire base.
But such strength can sometimes attract dark emotions, like jealousy. Xiao Shuo is betrayed by his closest teammates, has his ability crippled, and is ultimately delivered as a gift to a strange Alpha.
The Alpha is "notorious."
Though they have never met, Xiao Shuo has heard rumors about her and knows what awaits him.
Facing the Alpha's teasing, almost-smiling gaze, Xiao Shuo presses his lips together, a hint of shame on his handsome face. He looks away, secretly tightening his grip on the dagger hidden in his sleeve.
Xiao Shuo plans to endure it in silence, accepting every indignity until the other party lets her guard down. Then he will plunge his dagger into her heart and kill her with one strike.
Unfortunately, he waits a long time and never gets the chance. Slowly, he realizes that the Alpha before him is nothing like the rumors say.
Watching the woman hailed as a useless Alpha easily thrust a long blade into the vital point of an S-rank zombie, she glances back lazily. The cold look she gives the monster turns into a casual smile when she looks at him. Xiao Shuo suddenly understands what it means to fall for someone. He begins to think that dating an Alpha might not be so bad.
But before Xiao Shuo can confess, Liu Xuan kicks him out.
"Go find an Omega you like."
The Alpha, having misunderstood something, leaves him with only this cold remark.
Xiao Shuo is confused and hurt. When he catches the Alpha laughing and chatting with another Omega, those feelings suddenly turn into pure jealousy. The usually quiet and patient man makes his most outrageous decision yet: he returns to Liu Xuan's side of his own free will, ready to become her... caged bird.
The seemingly useless but secretly formidable Alpha heroine x the quiet, patient, powerful Alpha hero
