The Doomsday Water Tower

A solar storm affected the ocean currents, and, like dominoes falling, the whole world plunged into a deep freeze.

Lin Xia survived only three or four days in the apocalypse before dying of a fever.

When she woke up, she was back in a warm, gentle world.

A period-drama System had come with her.

This time, she chose a water tower in an abandoned town with geothermal resources.

Not far from the tower was a calcified lake, its surface a brilliant blue beneath the sunlight.

Two or three meters of grayish-yellow reeds surrounded the white-painted water tower. Snow fell softly in winter, and branches blossomed in spring.

A farming story set against an apocalyptic backdrop, with a hoarding focus.

The heroine has a pocket dimension. Stardew Valley in cold-weather mode.

A very slice-of-life story: picking mushrooms in spring, planting crops in the warm summer, harvesting in autumn, and skiing and staying cozy indoors in winter.

A new 3,000-word update will drop at midnight every night, though the time may vary.

Second blurb

Lin Xia got a System, one that was originally a transmigration sign-in System. It was supposed to take her to a troubled region in the 1960s, where she would sneak around stealing food while everyone else went hungry, yet she could eat her fill thanks to the sign-in System.

The System seemed to have made a mistake, turning her transmigration into a rebirth.

Lin Xia was reborn. If she hadn't obtained the System, she might have thought the events of her previous life were just a nightmare. The ocean currents stopping because of a solar storm, the whole world entering an ice age: Lin Xia knew nothing about these scientific terms.

She had simply followed the crowd into the subway, then died of a fever because she had no water or food. Was the ice age an apocalypse for humanity?

If it was, then she might be the earliest person ever reborn from the apocalypse.

At least she had this sneaky System, or rather, sign-in System. Lin Xia hoped she wouldn't have such a miserable life again.
