In the Apocalypse, I Turned Out to Be the Chosen One

Qi Lingyue had always been the sort to lie flat, a lazy couch potato. Now, for the sake of her future studies, she was struggling miserably with the IELTS.

But then, one day, everything around her suddenly started to seem wrong.

Not only were strange beasts appearing more and more often, and strange celestial phenomena occurring again and again, but her friends were also starting to act suspiciously.

First, her childhood friend Du Xiaoyu went from being a weakling to a musclebound hunk, his eight-pack abs practically blinding her. Then her best friend Cheng Ting suddenly gained the ability to communicate with heaven and earth and became all mysterious.

Just as Qi Lingyue was worrying that the two of them had been possessed, Earth underwent a massive transformation. Other-dimensional spaces invaded with overwhelming force, intent on seizing the planet and wiping out humanity. At this moment, an organization called the Guardians appeared out of nowhere to protect humanity in the apocalypse.

To Qi Lingyue's utter astonishment, she carried the supreme bloodline of the Guardians: the “Chosen.” Cheng Ting and Du Xiaoyu had inherited the bloodlines of the “Witch” and the “Healer,” respectively, and for generations they had protected Qi Lingyue's branch of the Chosen.

Wait, what? Wasn't I just a lazy couch potato?

Qi Lingyue: I don't understand, but I'm deeply shaken.

The path of the “Chosen One” is not an easy one, especially for an utterly ordinary couch potato like Qi Lingyue. Nobody believes a young girl like her can shoulder the responsibility of protecting Earth.

After enduring countless doubts and scornful looks, Qi Lingyue bravely rushes to the battlefield, fighting side by side with Cheng Ting and Du Xiaoyu. She saves countless civilians, wins the trust of her subordinates, and gradually reveals her potential as a powerhouse.

Who would have thought that just then, a strange girl would suddenly appear, claiming to be Qi Lingyue's long-lost twin sister and the real Chosen One?

Qi Lingyue: ...

This has to be an impostor sent by the enemy!

Qi Lingyue doesn't care whether she's the Chosen One or not. She only hopes to drive away the invaders and restore Earth to the vibrant home it once was.

All she really wants is to be a couch potato who loses all her hair studying for the IELTS.

Romance:

Watching her childhood friends become incredibly powerful after awakening their bloodlines, Qi Lingyue, who was still a total nobody, felt thoroughly depressed and had no choice but to start training from scratch.

The Guardians are structured like a pyramid. At the top is the “Chosen,” who leads the organization, with the “Witch” and the “Healer” providing combat support. The largest group is made up of those who inherit the “Soldier” bloodline, the Guardians' main fighting force.

Qi Lingyue's instructor is named Lu Da, and he comes from the Soldier line. The more handsome he is, the stranger his temper; he's practically a goose spirit, with a mouth sharp enough to cut.

Qi Lingyue suffers both emotional and physical torment at his hands, and swears that one day she'll tear Lu Da apart with her bare hands!

Watching the little couple's daily “flirting,” Cheng Ting grins knowingly: Fighting is affection, scolding is love; if you don't fight or bicker, you can't fall in love!

Qi Lingyue/Lu Da: (in unison) Bah!

Before long, Lu Da eats his words and falls hard.

Before he falls:

Lu Da: (disdainful)

“With stamina like that, you're the Chosen? Did your bloodline pick the wrong person?”

“It's over, it's over. With you on Earth, we're definitely doomed.”

“Is that a spittoon growing out of your neck?”

After he falls:

Lu Da: (earnest)

“Yue... You're not just the Chosen, you're the little darling of my heart!”

“The Earth in my heart revolves around you!”

“Baby, is my kneeling posture up to standard today?”

Qi Lingyue: Ugh...

A fiery, straightforward, short-tempered couch potato girl versus a super-strong, handsome, roguish goose-type guy with a sharp tongue and a big ego

The whole novel is goofy, satisfying, and sweet. The main cast is ridiculously powerful. The Guardians' bloodlines reunite in the apocalypse, take down the invaders, and defend their home, Earth!
