Ancient Disasters, Zombies Lay Siege to the City [Now Available]

[Married First, Love Later, Complete]

After becoming a cannon-fodder villainess with nothing but beauty in an early-era novel, Wen Yu had no System and knew nothing about the plot.

Taking her role as a wicked villainess seriously, she figured that if she could defeat the heroine, win over the male lead, and become the young madam, she'd surely be able to return to her own world!

So she worked hard and tried every trick in the book. She succeeded in becoming the young madam, but still didn't return home. She even got caught up in a massive conspiracy.

After failing to return home once she had gained status, Wen Yu guessed that dying might get her back. But after faking her death and opening her eyes to see Xie Zhuochen again, she knew she still hadn't made it home.

Wen Yu clutched her head and cried, thinking, This doesn't make sense. I'm the villainess. Aren't those supposed to be my tasks?

Her efforts came to nothing. On the surface, Wen Yu let life with Xie Zhuochen drift along as they teamed up to solve cases, but deep down she still knew she was only a villainess, and she kept searching for a way home in secret.

Then one day, Madam Xie, who had originally shipped her and Xie Zhuochen as a couple, fell ill. As she lay on her bed, barely clinging to life, she gripped Wen Yu's hand and told her:

"You're the heroine!"

A stunning beauty with brains who doesn't hold her teammates back × a straightforward, abstinent husband with a fatherly air (later becomes completely lovestruck)

1. Sweet, sweet, so sweet. Heavy on romance, light on plot.

2. Content warning 1: The heroine is pretty passive at first and only thinks about returning home. Later, when she can't find a way back, she starts using her brain.

3. Content warning 2: The heroine has no golden finger and doesn't know the plot. She has to figure everything out for herself.

4. Inspiration for the side couple's names: Nanfu batteries.

A sweet ancient-world zombie siege story: Ancient Disasters, I Marry the Sickly Grand Tutor Instead

Blurb:

After Jiang Zhimiao transmigrated as an unloved legitimate daughter, she decided to go to the capital to break off her engagement.

Unexpectedly, the horses mutated and went berserk along the way, biting off a guard's head. The crowd erupted into chaos

Dry ponds and fields, infected humans, severed limbs floating in the water. In an instant, a thriving city fell.

Refugees were everywhere. Countless people were tackled and bitten one after another, while screams and cries of anguish rose and fell.

"Yue is doomed! What are we supposed to do?!"

Jiang Zhimiao brought her blade down, severing a monster's head with practiced ease.

She stood among the corpses, towering over the people.

"Yue is not doomed! I'll lead you in rebuilding our home!"

From then on, countless refugees followed her south.

The escape begins now.

With zombies running rampant, she was the first to raise her sword and cut off a head. The land was vast, so she led the refugees in building a settlement. There was plenty of water, so she led them in planting trees and crops. The official roads were blocked, so she led the people in clearing the routes.

The people hailed her as their ruler, but she said, "All people are equal."

After she had finished repairing the settlement and her people were living in peace, the sickly Grand Tutor she had once saved by chance pulled her into his arms.

"My lady, you removed my white neckerchief, so you must take responsibility for me."

Theme: Fierce as a tiger, gentle as a rose
