The Female Side Character in a Restricted Ancient Apocalypse Novel

Lin Xia is the wicked supporting female character in a restricted ancient romance novel. Following the usual tropes, she has been jealous of the heroine since childhood, takes credit for saving her life, throws herself at all the powerful men, and keeps butting in at the worst times when the male leads look at the heroine with suggestive eyes. She mocks and frames the second male lead, Jiang Si, and even drugs him. After diligently following most of the plot, a gigantic meteor shower suddenly rains down from the sky. A strange disease emerges, making the infected bloodthirsty and prone to biting people. They are called "living corpses." A group of people take shelter in a ruined temple. Outside, several living corpses slam against the wooden door. The girl facing the door trembles with fear. Lin Xia is so frail and slender that it seems she won't last even fifteen minutes before the living corpses break in and tear her apart. At the far end, Jiang Si grips a blade, his expression cold, as if this has nothing to do with him. For someone this foolish, becoming a foolish living corpse would be a good thing. But the moment the living corpses break through the door, Lin Xia awakens! Oh, wow. Is there even any point in awakening now? The sweet ancient romance has turned into a restricted apocalypse novel. All those years of work were for nothing! * The young general, the high-ranking living corpse, the leader of the sanctuary city, the master healer developing a cure for the living corpses... Male Leads One through Six all make their appearances in turn, but none of them have anything to do with Lin Xia. Except for the part where one of them tosses Lin Xia into a horde of living corpses to make the heroine happy. When disaster strikes, Jiang Si assumes that the melodramatic Lin Xia, who can't even protect herself, will be the first to die. But to his surprise, true to her name, Lin Xia's vitality is as abundant as the trees in midsummer. She fights living corpses, stockpiles supplies, grows vegetables and grain, and flees through extreme weather. Even the leaders of the various shelters compete to become her underlings. Lin Xia: The apocalypse is hard, but an apocalypse romance novel is even harder. Either I get bitten by a living corpse on the first day, or I survive! Bonus scene: In the ruined temple, the moment the living corpses break through the door, newly awakened Lin Xia immediately throws herself at Jiang Si, gazes at him with deep affection, and clutches his robe, making sure everyone in the temple hears her say, "Brother, I'm the sister you lost years ago. Save me!" Jiang Si: ... Looking at the drama queen in front of him and seeing everyone else glare at him in accusation, Jiang Si's urge to kill grows even stronger! An ancient-world apocalypse story featuring natural disasters, with stockpiling, zombie-fighting, a System, farming, and infrastructure building. Blurb revised on 2025.3.22, screenshot available.
