Ling Shu transmigrates into a novel as a pitiful true heiress and is forced to marry Sheng Yunshen, a powerful man in a vegetative state.
The good news: The Sheng family has its hands full and no time to bother with her. They'll even pay her handsomely to keep her quiet.
The bad news: This is actually an apocalypse novel, and the Sheng family are just cannon fodder.
The apocalypse will arrive in two months, and everything the Sheng family cares about will turn to ashes.
Ling Shu, who survived in the apocalypse for a full three years: Oh, I know this story.
She decides to return to her old line of work and stockpile just a little bit of supplies before the apocalypse arrives.
As for those rich-family squabbles, Ling Shu couldn't care less.
What she doesn't expect is that everyone in the Sheng family can hear her thoughts.
-
At a banquet, the fake heiress asks for the diamond earrings worn by the Sheng family's youngest daughter, pretending to be her best friend.
Ling Shu walks silently past them, carrying a plate piled high with pastries.
[What kind of best friend is that? When you were surrounded by zombies, the fake heiress shoved you toward them without hesitation. You were lucky enough to survive, but your face was disfigured. Was it worth it?]
Sheng's youngest daughter, who cares about her looks more than anything: "?"
[Oh, right. After your face was disfigured, she also went after your boyfriend. He secretly brings her supplies every day, and doesn't mind being kept on the hook.]
Sheng's youngest daughter, who thought their love was unbreakable: "??"
An hour later, chaos breaks out at the banquet. Apparently, the youngest daughter caught her boyfriend and the fake heiress having an affair, gave the two lowlifes dozens of hard slaps, and kicked them out of the venue.
She also gives Ling Shu fifty boxes of instant noodles and compressed biscuits in assorted flavors. Stockpiling progress: +100.
-
In the garden, Sheng's eldest sister-in-law discovers that her husband has brought his ideal woman home. The two argue until they're both red in the face.
Ling Shu digs the ground beside them with a hoe, expressionless.
[Isn't it a bit early to be arguing? When we're surrounded by zombies, his ideal woman will sneak off with the food and jewelry, then let a few zombies in while escaping. Big Brother will end up on his knees, crying and slapping himself in remorse.]
Sheng's eldest brother, convinced his ideal woman is just an innocent, naive girl: "?"
Sheng's eldest sister-in-law, who's never seen her husband cry, kneel, and slap himself: "!"
Three days later, the ideal woman's attempt to drug someone is exposed, and she's sent packing.
The eldest brother and sister-in-law stop fighting and start growing vegetables with Ling Shu. Stockpiling progress: +500.
-
In the hospital room, her husband lies with his eyes closed, still in a vegetative state.
Ling Shu calmly stocks up on medicine nearby and encourages him in her thoughts.
[Hubby, don't lose heart just because you're in a vegetative state. Once a mutated zombie bites you, you'll be able to stand again and become the most powerful Zombie King in the capital, returning in glory at the head of a hundred-thousand-strong zombie army and biting everyone who laughed at you to death! What do you think? Surprised? Didn't see that coming?]
Sheng Yunshen, who can still feel everything: "?"
...You call that a surprise?
-
Since the Sheng family is so generous, Ling Shu silently stockpiles supplies while planning to do her best to protect them once the apocalypse arrives.
Unexpectedly, not only does the apocalypse never come, but the original story's plot changes beyond recognition.
The Sheng family, originally just cannon fodder, becomes more united and prosperous than ever.
The value of Ling Shu's stockpile skyrockets, making her a billionaire.
Even her husband in a vegetative state miraculously wakes up and leans against the headboard, looking at her with an amused smile.
"Honey, I'm awake. What do you think? Surprised? Didn't see that coming?"
Ling Shu: "...Huh?"
[Reading Guide]
1. This isn't a serious stockpiling story. The focus is on lie-flat stockpiling.
2. The female lead has inner thoughts that others can hear, but she isn't noisy.
3. The apocalypse won't come. A couple in love will save the world.
4. I've made a few adjustments to the original preview. A deep bow to all the lovely readers who supported it.
[Upcoming Novel]
A fresh new release, Hacking in a Novel Where Everyone Has a System. Please add it to your favorites+++
The moment Wen Ruo opens her eyes, she realizes the whole world has gone mad.
Her underachieving classmate has bound herself to an exchange System that can swap anything from final exam grades to graduate school admission offers;
her intern coworker has bound herself to a beauty-upgrade System, where the harder everyone else works, the prettier she gets;
a random roommate has bound himself to a simp cashback System, which gives him ten times the money back for everything he spends on his goddess...
Wen Ruo, meanwhile, has no System at all, but she's the unlucky one bound to several at once.
She's bound to the exchange System and is about to lose her final exam grades;
she's also bound to the beauty-upgrade System, where the harder she works, the more ordinary she looks;
and she'll inexplicably receive a bunch of cheap gifts, only to be exposed as a gold digger and ruined...
Wen Ruo: ???
What does this mean?
Are all these Systems picking on me and me alone?
Her fists clench. She's ready to fight.
Wen Ruo, a top hacker and A-rank wanted criminal who transmigrated from an interstellar world, smiles faintly with her computer in hand. "So you're all teaming up to grind my dungeon? Then none of you are leaving."
Want to swap her grades?
Wen Ruo changes the reward logic, turning grade exchanges into acne exchanges. Her underachieving classmate happily gets up early, only to discover that her grades are unchanged and she has three new pimples. Her screams ring through the dorm.
Want to steal the fruits of her hard work?
Wen Ruo cranks up the exchange parameters. For every hour of overtime she works, the other woman's appearance improves three hundredfold. By morning, her intern coworker has gone from ordinary-looking to a human Barbie doll. The research institute takes her away in the dead of night, and she vanishes without a trace.
Want to cash in by giving her gifts?
Wen Ruo reverses the rules. Ten times the gift's value goes into her account, and if she refuses the gift, her random roommate gets charged a tenfold penalty.
At first, they all wanted to exploit her.
Later, all they want is to beg her.
Please go to bed early and stop getting pimples!
Please leave work on time and stop working so hard!
Please accept the "offerings" from your devoted servants. Stop rejecting them!
#In the age of Systems, Wen Ruo is the only bug#
