A Year Without Summer

Volume One complete. Volume Two currently updating.

Jiang Lai's father was the former governor of a base. Seventeen years ago, her father's student usurped power, destroying her family. She swore to make her enemy pay.

In this freezing post-apocalyptic world, there are terrifying monsters, humans who have awakened special abilities, and a deadly sea that is almost impossible to cross. Anyone who wants to survive must be extremely careful. One careless mistake could cost them their life.

Seventeen years later, Jiang Lai returned after faking her death. She adopted a secret identity to take revenge, but as soon as she stepped outside, she ran into her childhood sweetheart, whom she hadn't seen in years.

Seeing an old acquaintance again did not make Jiang Lai happy at all.

What kind of normal person starts by exposing someone else's secret identity?!

So she bolted, making a quick getaway.

Wait, the governor her childhood sweetheart serves is the very enemy she's looking for?

What a coincidence. She'd been wondering how to get close to her target, and a pawn had just walked right up to her. She might as well use him.

There's no way she's going to catch up on old times, but she can date him. Her secret identity must not be exposed.

As soon as she gets her revenge, she'll dump the man and leave this miserable place, taking her dog to enjoy life in the new world. She'll never look back. That was the plan, anyway.

But as the eternal night descended, Jiang Lai realized things weren't that simple.

The three major bases were hiding countless secrets, and scientific research was growing increasingly insane...

The icy forest began to move, and countless monsters started mutating...

Something stirred in the depths of the Sea of Death, and mysterious organizations kept appearing...

Was this... the beginning of humanity's extinction?

She followed the clues, and what she discovered was astonishing: everything pointed to one person, her mother.

Jiang Lai was baffled. I came here for revenge. How did I suddenly end up having to save the world?

My mom never told me about this before she left!

Reader's guide:

1. The author's writing is terrible, and the logic is all made up on the spot.

2. The romance is a substantial part of the story, and the male lead is not just window dressing.

3. This is a serious story, not a lighthearted one.

4. I'm practicing pacing, so the plot develops very slowly.

Purpose: Everyone deserves to be loved
