After making it through seven years of the apocalypse, Shen Tang died when the base fell. She was reborn before the apocalypse began, and a miniature world with a System appeared in her mind, complete with a handsome-guy System. Gathering supplies, absorbing powers, and cultivating all came together in one smooth flow.
Just as Shen Tang was getting ready to have the cold and imposing base commander on one arm and the wickedly charming power user on the other, the System big brother, who'd always treated her in a strictly businesslike manner, gave her a sinister smile:
"Honey, who are you trying to pick up?"
In his previous life, Fang Yinhan's greatest regret was arriving too late to find the woman he loved reduced to bones. The only human who possessed intelligence and could command zombies, he killed himself in the second year after Shen Tang's death. He returned to three months before the apocalypse began and took up residence in Shen Tang's mind.
If you need someone to rely on, why not rely on a System that will never betray you?
Unless you betray me first.
1. Both leads are reborn, both are exclusive to each other, and it's an older-woman-younger-man romance. In their first lives, there was a seven-year age gap, but in their second lives, the difference is basically negligible. The female lead is an ordinary person who wants to survive the apocalypse, and she's neither a self-sacrificing saint nor a Mary Sue. Her only cheat is that the male lead tricks her into thinking he's a System. The male lead was a test subject created by humans who wanted to control zombies. He's hidden his true personality since childhood, and the female lead is his only salvation, even though she didn't remember him at all in her previous life.
Warning: The female lead has an ex, but she's not a cheater. Their relationship was mutual at first, but they never had any physical intimacy.
2. In his previous life, the male lead had an antisocial personality. He's a seemingly gentle yandere, and in his previous life, his feelings for the female lead were mostly possessiveness. In this life, he initially wanted her to be his dependent like a parasitic vine. He even considered killing her and keeping her corpse all to himself as a way to possess her. That's why he kept tempting her to rely on the System, meaning him. Later, the female lead gradually humanized him, just a little.
3. There is angst in the middle, but it has a happy ending. This is very important.
Theme: Basically, I just want to write a rebirth story with one-sided love.
Very novel setting. Like very much
