Yin Shan lived a tragic existence during the apocalypse, defined by her blind devotion to Lu Yunchao. Despite the world collapsing into chaos, she prioritized his survival above all else, stockpiling essential supplies and risking her life to kill mutated creatures. Her efforts were solely intended to ensure he could endure the harsh new reality. However, her sacrifice was met with betrayal rather than gratitude. Lu Yunchao, driven by his affection for another woman, sold Yin Shan to a group of cannibals. The transaction was brutal and degrading; he exchanged her life for merely fifty jin of rice. As the cannibals carved her flesh piece by piece, Yin Shan watched helplessly as she became food on someone else's plate. Her final moments were filled with rage and unwillingness, not just for her own death, but for the realization that her love had been entirely misplaced.
Before dying, Yin Shan reflected on the ten years that led to this end. She remembered her parents, particularly her mother, who had warned her early on that Lu Yunchao was a dangerous choice. Yin Shan had ignored these warnings, blinded by her infatuation. She also recalled her father, whose supernatural ability awakening had failed due to his poor physical condition, leaving him in a coma from which he never woke. Her mother had died protecting Yin Shan from a dark faction of ability users, leaving no complete corpse behind. Consumed by regret and a desperate desire to protect her family and undo her mistakes, Yin Shan closed her eyes in despair. Her intense wish for a second chance triggered a mysterious mechanism. A mechanical voice announced that her desire index had reached the required level, initiating a restart of her reincarnation.
Yin Shan woke up with a scream, finding herself in a hospital room. Her mother, Guan Yunhua, sat beside her, overjoyed that Yin Shan had finally awakened after three days of unconsciousness. The doctor confirmed that Yin Shan’s body was healthy and that her fainting was likely due to exhaustion from overtime work. Yin Shan was disoriented but quickly realized she had returned to the past. Her parents were alive, healthy, and unaware of the coming catastrophe. As her father, Yin Zhiwen, entered the room, he appeared stern but deeply concerned. Suddenly, a system notification interrupted Yin Shan’s thoughts. It detected an abnormality in Yin Zhiwen’s coronary artery and issued an urgent mission: take him to emergency treatment within ten minutes or he would die. Successfully completing the mission would reward her with three Marrow Cleansing Pills.
Yin Shan acted immediately, stopping the attending doctor from examining her and insisting he check her father instead. She pointed out the purple tint of his lips, which the doctor confirmed as a critical sign of cardiac distress. Emergency surgery was arranged, and Yin Zhiwen was moved to the operating room. While waiting, Yin Shan attempted to communicate with the mysterious voice that had guided her. The system instructed her to enter a spatial dimension through a jade pendant necklace she wore. Upon touching the pendant, her consciousness transferred to a vast void known as the Zero-Degree Space. This space contained a static warehouse with two hundred cubic meters of capacity, an active farm, a spiritual lake with healing properties, and a movable villa that was currently inaccessible.
The system explained that the warehouse preserved items without the passage of time, the farm could store living creatures and improve their health, and the spiritual lake provided poison immunity. Yin Shan learned that she could upgrade these facilities by completing missions or collecting materials. The mission to save her father was marked as complete with an S-rank rating. She received three Marrow Cleansing Pills, which removed all illnesses and strengthened physical constitution, and her warehouse capacity doubled to four hundred cubic meters. Holding the pills in her hand, Yin Shan accepted her rebirth. She discovered she had returned to a point two months before the apocalypse was scheduled to begin. Armed with foreknowledge of the coming disaster and the resources of the Zero-Degree Space, Yin Shan resolved to stockpile supplies and protect her family, ensuring they would never face the fate she suffered in her previous life.
