Summary

... Read More

Li Tong is an eighteen-year-old orphan raised by her four older brothers, all of whom work as elite mercenaries. Despite her frail constitution, she lives in luxury, spoiled endlessly by the men who found her in the forest and raised her as their own. For a month, Li Tong has suffered recurring nightmares of an impending apocalypse involving natural disasters, eternal darkness, and an insect invasion, in which she and her brothers all perish. One night, a mechanical voice identifies itself as System 09 and reveals that her dreams are prophetic. The system grants her three cheats: an interface with unlimited supplies, a personal small world accessible for twelve hours a day, and a pill that grants absolute healing and purification abilities. After consuming the pill, Li Tong undergoes a painful transformation that perfects her physique and cures her chronic frailty. With only three days remaining before the predicted disasters begin, she urgently contacts her brothers, who are currently on a dangerous mission. Their calls are cut short by explosions, deepening her anxiety.

Li Tong’s brothers return home covered in wounds, having narrowly survived their mission. She reveals her knowledge of the coming apocalypse and the existence of her system. The brothers, trusting her implicitly despite the absurdity of her claims, immediately agree to her plan. Li Tong uses her system to teleport their entire villa into storage and summons a vehicle to transport them to a fortified apartment on the thirtieth floor of a high-rise complex. There, she reinforces the apartment with bulletproof glass and aluminum alloy doors, sealing all pipes to prevent flooding. She then binds all four brothers to her system by interlocking fingers, allowing them access to the small world. Inside this sanctuary, she administers healing pills to each brother, erasing their scars and restoring their health to peak condition. The group settles into the small world to wait out the initial storm, emerging only when necessary.

As the torrential rains and hurricane-force winds devastate the city, floodwaters rise rapidly, submerging lower floors and forcing residents into desperate situations. Neighbors knock on Li Tong’s door, begging for shelter and supplies, but the brothers refuse to let anyone in. Tensions rise within the group as the brothers’ protective instincts toward Li Tong begin to manifest as possessive jealousy. A violent confrontation erupts between two brothers over Li Tong’s attention, leading to physical injury. Distraught by the conflict, Li Tong threatens suicide with a system weapon, causing the brothers to collapse in terror and remorse. She uses her healing ability to save them, but the emotional strain leaves her unconscious for three days. Upon waking, the brothers are consumed by guilt, vowing to share her affection rather than fight over her exclusively.

The brothers encounter former guildmates outside who request to join their team for survival. Recognizing the threat posed by a larger group and the potential risk to Li Tong, the brothers agree to a temporary alliance while secretly planning to distance themselves. Meanwhile, Li Tong’s prophetic knowledge guides their preparations for the subsequent disasters, including extreme cold, heat, and insect swarms. The story follows their isolation in the fortified apartment and the small world, highlighting the brothers’ obsessive devotion and Li Tong’s role as the central figure whose supernatural abilities ensure their survival against the collapsing world.

Let me just say this chapter is a masterclass in pacing. It opens at FULL INTENSITY with Li Tong holding a knife to her own chest and all four brothers losing their minds. That is a HARD start. You are not allowed to relax after reading that. And then she collapses from exhaustion, sleeps for three days, wakes up, and suddenly we're at a hot pot dinner. The transition from that suicidal breakdown to domestic fluff is jarring in the best way. The author doesn't spend a ton of time on the emotional fallout — Li Tong wakes up, makes a joke about punishment (washing clothes for a month), and then we're basically in slice-of-life territory. But here's the thing: the tension doesn't actually disappear. It just changes form. The brothers are clearly still traumatized, still walking on eggshells around her. You can feel it in every scene — Xiong Ji can't even look at her without tearing up, Nan Qi is so gentle feeding her duck necks like she's made of glass. Then the romantic tension kicks in at the dinner table with Qin Shuo and Jiang Xun basically fighting over who gets to kiss her, and suddenly the pacing ramps back up. The thunder scene at the end is the perfect button on the whole chapter — Li Tong gets scared, they all rush to her, and that's when the big realization hits: they're all going to share her. The chapter moves from life-or-death drama to domestic comfort to romantic rivalry to a major plot decision, all in one sitting. No wonder I couldn't put it down.

I need to talk about this one detail because it stuck with me like a splinter. When Li Tong discovers that Xiong Ji actually washed her clothes by hand instead of using the washing machine in her Small World, she's genuinely surprised. And Xiong Ji's response is basically: 'In the future, Big Brother will wash them for you too.' This is such a small moment but it represents SO MUCH. The washing machine represents convenience, efficiency, the normal world. But Xiong Ji chooses the hard way — the personal, laborious, almost ritualistic way. He's not just washing clothes; he's performing an act of devotion. Every piece of fabric he handles by hand is a silent apology, a way of proving he's willing to do the ugly work to make things right. And then there's the hot pot itself. Five individual pots, each person cooking their own food, but all gathered together. It's a beautiful symbol of their situation — they're separate individuals with separate desires, but they've chosen to share a space. The storm outside forces them into this intimate proximity where they can't escape each other, and that's when the real dynamics surface. The flood is interesting too. Water as both destroyer and isolator. It strips away civilization — no internet, no electricity — and leaves only the raw relationships between these people. What's left when everything else is gone? Apparently, four men who would rather share one woman than lose her.

Okay can we just appreciate how each brother has a distinct voice here without any exposition? The author doesn't tell us who's the serious one or who's the soft one—we just KNOW from how they speak. Jiang Xun is the practical one: "I'll go tell them we're refusing." Straight to the point. No nonsense. Qin Shuo is the strategist: "Or we could agree for now. Our precious girl never goes outside anyway, so they won't see her." Thinking three steps ahead, finding loopholes. Nan Qi is the protective big brother through and through: he's the one who physically shields Li Tong, who carries her, who coaxes her. His dialogue is full of softness even when he's frowning and worrying. And Xiong Ji—apparently the leader, the one they all look to—speaks last, after the longest silence, with that quiet sigh. His voice carries weight without raising. The dialogue with Li Tong is where it really shines though. Her brothers don't talk down to her. They don't treat her like a child even though she clearly is one in their eyes. "What's wrong, Little Treasure?" "Why's your little mouth all puffed out?" They use pet names naturally, the way real siblings do. And her silence speaks volumes—she doesn't need to explain herself. They already know something's wrong just from her expression. The mercenaries outside also get distinct voices, even though they're background characters. Their desperation comes through in lines like "For the sake of the days we fought side by side, give us a chance to live." You can hear the pleading, the history, the genuine bond beneath the intrusion. The narrative voice itself is also worth mentioning—it's warm, observant, almost omniscient in its understanding of these characters' motivations without ever feeling intrusive. It knows what everyone's thinking and still lets them surprise you.

Let's talk about the tension in this chapter because WOW. The author just casually drops us into a situation where a dozen armed mercenaries are camping outside the brothers' door, and somehow it feels EVEN MORE threatening than a full-on battle scene would. Think about it. The brothers are supposedly the strongest team in the Ghost Guild. Highest mission completion rate, enormous bounties on their heads, feared and admired across the industry. And yet—twelve people with firearms outside their door and Xiong Ji is SIGHING. Not panicking. Not planning an ambush. Just... sighing. Because the math doesn't work. "No matter how strong the four brothers were, fighting a close range gun battle against an unknown number of professional enemies offered very little chance of success." That's the stakes right there. These guys can handle monsters. They can handle anything in the battlefield. But guns? Numbers? People who know where they live? That's a different kind of danger. And the worst part—they can't even fight back openly because of Li Tong. The Small World only lasts twelve hours. It's not foolproof. If things go south, she's vulnerable. The author also does this brilliant thing where the mercenaries outside are almost sympathetic. "The world's about to end. Is it really wrong for us to come looking for our brothers?" They're desperate people too. But desperation with firearms is still desperation with firearms. I was literally holding my breath during the brothers' discussion. Every option they consider—refuse outright, accept temporarily, plan to leave later—carries real risk. The suspense isn't about whether they'll win a fight. It's about whether they'll keep their sister safe while navigating a minefield of desperate armed people. That's next-level tension writing.

I need to talk about this. I genuinely need to. The way these four brothers orbit around Li Tong like she's the only source of light in this entire collapsed world—it's devastating and beautiful all at once. Nan Qi rubbing the top of her head, Jiang Xun kissing her little hand, Xiong Ji stroking her hair while telling her not to overthink things. They're hardened mercenaries who've survived on betrayal and blood, but the moment they see her pouty mouth and red rabbit eyes, every single one of them drops everything to comfort her. "Be good, precious. Big Brother loves you..." That line hit me like a truck. He's trailing off, isn't he? Like he can't even finish the sentence because the emotion is too much. And Li Tong—she pretends to be dead, burying her face in his chest. She knows she's the reason they're in trouble. She overheard everything. The guilt is eating her alive and she won't even say it out loud. What kills me most is that none of them blame her. Not even a little. They're out there facing armed mercenaries, people who could actually hurt them, and their first concern is keeping her safe. Their determination to not form a team only GROWS stronger when they see her. She's their anchor, their reason to stay hardened and isolated. I'm not crying, you're crying. The sibling dynamic here is so tender it almost hurts. These are people who operate in a world where loyalty is rare and betrayal is a lifestyle, yet with her, they're soft. Genuinely, painfully soft. And she loves them so fiercely she'd rather suffer in silence than be the burden she thinks she is.

The conflict in this chapter operates on so many levels it's almost dizzying. On the surface, there's the external threat — the flood, the cold, the desperate neighbors. But the real stakes are internal, between the four brothers. Remember earlier when they were ready to kill each other over Li Tong? This chapter shows us the aftermath of that. They've all survived the physical fight, but the emotional damage is clearly still there. Xiong Ji hasn't shaved in three days. Nan Qi and Xiong Ji don't even dare to approach her at first. They're all carrying guilt, fear, and this desperate need to make amends. The scene where they realize they're going to share her is the turning point. It's not a happy resolution — it's more like three men looking at a terrible math problem and deciding that the only way none of them lose is if they all share the prize. Qin Shuo says it plainly: 'I can't be without her!' And Jiang Xun's response — 'What difference does it make? Doesn't it all end the same, with the loser crawling away?' — that's the real stakes laid bare. Every version of this ends in pain for someone. And Li Tong? She's caught in the middle of all of it. She's the one who triggered the knife incident, the one who collapsed and scared them half to death, the one they're now competing over. But she's also the one holding all the power — her healing ability, her Small World, her affection. The stakes for her are different: can she survive being loved this intensely by four people who are clearly not okay?
