The Wasted Era [Wasteland]

Zhou Lijian, a master fighter, was unrivaled in his wandering combat arts. Every fortress on the continent knew his name. But after being wounded one day, he fell from the peak to the bottom. He could only retreat into an uninhabited wasteland and spend his days in gloom. He thought his life would slowly rot away. Then one day, the silence was broken when a frontline squad brought back a critically wounded prisoner. Moved by a moment of pity, Zhou Lijian took the prisoner in and gave her a name. She was anything but grateful. With the sneaky intention of taking over his home, she turned on him with a knife that very night. Deep underground in the desolate, dark wasteland, she was so dangerous. And yet that blazing, flame-like vitality of hers made her so hard to let go. "Thank you for saving me back then," she said later, once she had begun to understand how people dealt with one another. But Zhou Lijian knew that wasn't how it really was. She was the only lifeline in his lifeless existence. He held on to her tightly. ==Tips== * A listless, hopeless, once-great powerhouse x a battle-crazed goddess of war who says, "Enough sleep.
