Picked Up by a Hong Kong Tycoon [The Nineties]

[Max-Level Apocalypse Survivor x Loyal Dog from Kowloon Walled City] A month after transmigrating into a book, Gu Jinzhao finally learned who she was. She had transmigrated into a biography about the life of a powerful figure in Hong Kong. Good news: Her name appeared on the very first page. Bad news: She was already dead on that first page. This was Kowloon Walled City in Hong Kong in 1990, two years before Gu Jinzhao was supposed to die. On New Year's Eve in 1990, Gu Jinzhao appeared on Lung Chun Road in Kowloon Walled City, wearing flimsy, tattered clothes and flip-flops, with nothing to her name. This was a place where all sorts of people mingled and crime flourished. That same day, Zhou Jiahe took part in a gang fight for fifty dollars and got beaten until his head was split open. He stumbled into a dark, damp char siu stall and came across Gu Jinzhao, surrounded by a group of people. "Hey, little miss, it's New Year's Day. Were you waiting here for me?" Zhou Jiahe ground his cigarette butt underfoot and clenched his fists. On New Year's Day, Zhou Jiahe brought home a frail young girl and gave her food and a place to stay. He thought he'd picked up a little white rabbit, never guessing he was the puppy being watched by a big bad wolf. In the dark corners of Hong Kong, amid filth, crime, violence, poverty, and conspiracy... Nothing could bring her down. Because she came from the apocalypse, where her name had been Survivor No. 66 of the Granary. Compared to surviving the apocalypse, what was all this? She would bring murderers to justice. She would take the place of the big shots. Her epic life would begin here. But first, someone had to take her in... Having meals every day didn't seem so bad, either. * In the apocalypse, food was scarce and affection was in short supply. Gu Jinzhao didn't understand romantic feelings between men and women. She just liked to keep her head down and eat. Zhou Jiahe was often caught off guard by her, wanting to say something but stopping himself. He was always left questioning his life as a dog, his expression complicated. One day, it finally dawned on Gu Jinzhao. She looked at Zhou Jiahe in his apron, her expression complicated: Could he be the big shot from the book? * Zhou Jiahe had been without parents since he was six and grew up fending for himself in Kowloon Walled City. Cold, damp, cramped, and stifling, it was a place where he was always bruised and battered, his head split open. He was just another street punk. Vanishing without a trace one day was his fate. Until, at twenty, he met a young girl. That day, Zhou Jiahe's hands trembled so badly he could barely light his cigarette. His voice shook: "Hey, little miss." "Do you know..." "It's dangerous to go home with a strange man."
