The Growth-Oriented Guide Is Strong

No one knew that Zhou Ran hated her powerful mental strength, whether in the apocalypse or the Empire, just as she hated the blood of her mother flowing through her body.

So many nights, curled up in a tiny attic, her extraordinarily powerful mental strength let her hear every clear sound of her mother flirting, giggling, and murmuring downstairs. Her heart felt utterly desolate, her thoughts bled endlessly, like her boundless mental strength, which could never run dry.

In her previous life:

"Mom, I want to be with you."

"Mom, can you let me out?"

All she got in return were repeated insults and attempts to poison her.

In this life:

"Ranran, the Qin family doesn't mind that you're a D-rank guide. We'll raise you just like one of our own. All we need is for you to make one small sacrifice. Why are you being so stubborn?" The furious noblewoman shouted, her face livid.

Zhou Ran, dazed but resolute, turned around and climbed into the battered military vehicle heading for the outpost on the abandoned planet.

To the very end, that woman never got to see Zhou Ran turn back.

Because on the abandoned planet, Zhou Ran found comrades who would risk their lives for her, and a man who cherished her more than life itself.

The man, who charged fearlessly into battle and had slain countless enemies, declared firmly, "No matter what you're like, I love you."

Zhou Ran: "...Thank you."
