Blurb:
A century of natural disasters brought human civilization and order to ruin. Survival of the fittest became the only law.
Su Qing'an turned eighteen without awakening as an ability user.
Worse still, her stunning looks always drew the covetous attention of every kind of predator.
Su Qing'an began living cautiously, embarking on the hardest possible mode of survival in an already brutal post-apocalyptic world.
The people from the Public Security Bureau took her in for questioning. The bureau chief looked upright and stern, but behind closed doors he handcuffed her in a dark room and surveyed every inch of skin beneath her clothes with a predatory gaze.
He sniffed her hair, his expression feverish and obsessed. "I fell for you the moment I first saw you."
"You have no idea how alluring you look when you're being violated, how much it makes me want to ravage you, to watch you break and bleed beneath me."
On the night she escaped from prison, the stunning girl stumbled through the ruins in a tattered white dress stained with mud.
The security forces and mercenaries pursued her relentlessly. Just as they all thought they were about to win,
the fragile beauty gently raised a hand. Clouds covered the moon, plunging everything into darkness.
The next moment, the earth shook and violent winds rose. Everyone was swept underground, never to be seen again.
At the same time, thunder and lightning raged above District Twelve, and more than a hundred people died inexplicably.
The patrol officer had just returned to Central City to report back, ready to present the beauty to the powerful, when he clutched half of a charred photograph and collapsed on the spot.
A full century of natural disasters had passed.
She became a disaster that everyone feared.
No one could have imagined that an outer frontier district like District Twelve would be home to a beautiful canary coveted by countless powerful people.
Even less could anyone have imagined that the prize everyone thought they could keep in the palm of their hand would one day turn this sick world upside down with unstoppable force.
The vermin lurking in dark corners were forced into the open, and the horrifying conspiracies hidden beneath the disasters were exposed.
Reader's Guide:
1. The heroine did awaken an ability, but it's pretty useless. Being a heartthrob counts as an ability too.
2. Cyberpunk + wasteland + natural disasters.
3. Half plot, half romance.
