Ever since she was old enough to remember, Ruan Zhihan's family had abandoned her at the entrance to a Taoist temple, leaving her to fend for herself.
When she was eighteen, they finally took her back home. Just as nuclear contamination erupted, her family shoved her straight into a pack of mutated beasts as bait, sending her to her death.
Living her life over again, she has no time for biased parents: she removes herself from the family registry! A parasitic younger brother? She blocks him on WeChat and by phone! Then she turns around and lists all the antiques from the ancestral home on secondhand platforms for cash.
As nuclear fallout fills the sky, others lick bottle caps to save water, while her Qiankun pouch is piled high with supplies. She masters esoteric arts, exorcisms, evil-spirit suppression, and Plum Blossom Numerology more easily than eating spicy hot pot, and can even pull out a lollipop to soothe a child.
Then she meets Yun Jingshen, a strange one indeed: born with a natural resistance to radiation, his fate is purer than a blank sheet of paper, and any dark magic automatically stops working in his presence.
"I refuse to believe I can't deal with you!" Ruan Zhihan charges forward, compass in hand, only to see him leaning against a radiation-proof wall, smiling like the warm spring sun. "Master Ruan, would you like to calculate our fortune as a couple?"
