Xia Ye was the weak, useless, and scheming white lotus in the apocalypse's overpowered hero team, always dragging everyone down. During a mission, the team's overpowered captain saved a girl surrounded by mutated beasts.
.
The girl was innocent and kind, and quickly became a favorite among the team. She unexpectedly awakened the ability to hear thoughts, but only Xia Ye could hear them.
.
From the girl's thoughts, Xia Ye learned that she was merely a cannon-fodder female supporting character in an apocalyptic power-leveling novel. Before long, she would be kicked out of the team for coveting the S-rank crystal the overpowered hero had nearly died to obtain, then meet a horrible end in a city swallowed by a beast tide.
.
Unable to fight the script, Xia Ye chose to leave on her own. She hid from the mutated beasts along the way and finally made it to a safe base. After joining an action squad with the other survivors, she ran into the commander on her very first day.
.
The man was tall and imposing, with deep, sharp black eyes. His combat uniform sleeves were rolled up, revealing strong, well-defined arms. His whole body radiated a cold, ruthless menace.
.
Xia Ye froze, recognizing Zhou Xun, the poor boy she'd once abandoned for being broke.
.
He had changed dramatically. On the eve of the apocalypse, the two of them had spent their days and nights together. Back then, he had been a lean, boyish young man. He patiently put up with her bad temper, worked part-time to satisfy her vanity, obeyed her every whim during the day, and sweated with her in bed at night.
·
They broke up because she couldn't bear living in poverty. He couldn't afford to support her or earn more money, and she saw no reason not to choose someone better.
·
He must have been devastated then. His eyes were red as he demanded to know how she could be so sure he'd never amount to anything.
·
Xia Ye gave him a blunt answer. She said she couldn't wait any longer and couldn't stand another day of that life. She wished him the best of luck and hoped he'd make it big, so that when she fell on hard times, she could take his money and humiliate him.
·
Now her words had come true. The poor boy had become a hero whom everyone admired, while she was dependent on others, their positions completely reversed.
