The day the apocalypse arrived.
Zuo Ye was sitting in the back of a taxi. Outside the window, fierce winds and torrential rain were raging, and something seemed to be churning in the dim sky.
The car suddenly stalled. In the distance, trees were swaying and growing visibly before her eyes. Dragonflies nearly a meter long flew out of the mist, black as storm clouds. The taxi driver stared at the cars ahead, their windows smashed, and his hands began to tremble on the steering wheel.
Zuo Ye: "..."
Damn it, she really did have awful luck.
She had only been sold off yesterday, and had just escaped from a penthouse suite early this morning. Did she really have to die now?
-
Zuo Ye was in poor health. She could barely lift or carry anything, and even a little exertion could make her cough up blood.
After the apocalypse arrived, it was as if Zuo Ye had activated a cheat, awakening one supernatural ability after another.
Zuo Ye thought her health had improved. But after trying all sorts of things, she discovered that she still caught a terrible cold if the wind so much as blew on her, and a little spoiled food could give her stomach cramps so bad she broke out in a cold sweat.
With no other choice, she secretly showed off a little of her strength, using it to "attach herself" to the most powerful person in the region and become a "kept canary." She got to eat the freshest food and live in the most comfortable house. Whenever someone provoked her, she simply coughed up blood in front of them.
But as time passed, the sharp-eyed people around her grew more and more aware of her strength. They started urging her to seize power and take the top position. In the end, even the leader joined them, kneeling to welcome her.
There was no way she was becoming the leader. The job would be far too much work.
Helping them deal with the occasional problem was the most she was willing to do.
So Zuo Ye quit and went straight to the next region, where she continued being a "kept canary."

When Zuo Ye accompanied her new benefactor, the leader of District C, to a gathering of superpowered people in the central city, the meeting had not even begun before the leader of District A across from her was already looking her way.
The woman wore a snow-white fox-fur cloak. Beneath it, her figure was slender and frail. Even as she covered her face to cough, her cheeks were visibly pale.
"Who is he?" Gu Yuezhou asked.
The leader of District C smiled ingratiatingly. "Sorry, this is my husb-"
"I wasn't asking you." Gu Yuezhou lifted her chin, indicating that Zuo Ye should answer.
Zuo Ye smiled politely. "He's my sugar daddy."
"How many sugar daddies do you have?"
"Not that many." Zuo Ye maintained her fake smile.
Damn it, why had she run into a sugar daddy from before the apocalypse?
--[Reading Guide]--
※ The female lead's morals come and go. She seems to cherish her life, but in truth, she's indifferent to life and death.
※ Strong but lazy about it, and genuinely frail.
※ There's a misunderstanding from the start.
※ The male lead is in the synopsis, but makes his actual appearance a little later. He's a mad dog who doesn't bite his owner, and he'll become very well-behaved.
※ One-on-one, happy ending.
