It was an ordinary day. Netizens scrolled through gossip on Weibo, students suffered through cram school, and office workers made money for their unscrupulous bosses.

Then, everything came to an abrupt halt.

Zhao Xi was an utterly ordinary college student who got lucky and made it into humanity's refuge, the Steel City.

She had planned to laze her life away, but somehow got picked to join the Forwarders, the ground-exploration organization with the highest death rate.

Somehow, she became humanity's savior in the apocalypse, but failed.

How tragic.

[In the apocalypse, the young Forwarders paved the way for humanity through their unyielding struggle and undying passion. Their souls will shine forever in humanity's starry sky.]

Coming soon: The Tale of the Grand Princess

When Jiang Youhui was born, her father was raising troops in rebellion. Her mother, frail with illness, made a three-step, one-bow pilgrimage to the Bodhisattva temple to ask Master Jingyin to come out of seclusion. Together, they formed the renowned women's army and defended Long Pass.

Later, the Jiang family claimed the empire, and eight-year-old Jiang Youhui was invested as the Grand Princess Zhaohua.

She was exceptionally gifted, and her father personally approved her joining the crown prince's lessons with the Grand Tutor, where she studied the classics, poetry, and the art of rulership.

A mere ten years later, her father died of illness, and the crown prince ascended the throne.

At eighteen, Jiang Youhui defied the natural order and launched a coup in Luocheng. She slaughtered the entire royal city and plunged her sword into her brother on the imperial throne.

From then on, the Grand Princess Zhaohua was honored as empress, and the first year of Qinghui began.

Over the following decades, a system of female officials emerged from this dynasty, ushering in a legendary golden age of women.
