Jiang Ci, a wealthy heiress and university student, wakes from a nightmare in which she was sacrificed by a cult six months before the onset of a global apocalypse. Having died after three years of suffering in the post-disaster world, she realizes she has been reborn to the past. Instead of panicking, she immediately takes decisive action to alter her fate. She contacts Lin Jiahao, the professional manager of Jiang Corporation left by her late father, and sells the entire company for four billion yuan. This liquidation provides the capital necessary for her survival preparations.
Jiang Ci possesses a portable space activated by an ancestral jade pendant. Upon re-entering the space, she discovers it has evolved from a barren void into a fully furnished three-bedroom house with running water, electricity, and gas, alongside an infinite storage area that preserves items in their original state. Recognizing the space as her ultimate sanctuary, she begins an aggressive stockpiling campaign. She orders massive quantities of ready-to-eat meals from local restaurants, including two hundred dishes daily from large banquets halls, as well as specific favorites like spicy frog, lamb noodles, and barbecue. She also secures a year’s supply of self-heating hot pots, breakfast buns, rice noodles, and bottled water, storing everything in her space to ensure she never faces hunger again.
Her preparations extend beyond food. She reinforces her current apartment with bulletproof glass and security doors. She commissions the modification of a dual-expansion RV, a Hummer, a helicopter, and a yacht with bulletproof steel. She purchases solid wood flooring and furniture for her spatial house, creating a comfortable living environment. She also acquires seeds, livestock supplies, and a vast array of medicines, including antibiotics, vaccines, and painkillers, sourcing them through a pharmaceutical representative. Anticipating the collapse of law and order, she contacts a wealthy acquaintance from the 2022 World Cup in Qatar to purchase firearms and ammunition from the Middle East.
Parallel to her survival efforts, Jiang Ci works to repair her fractured family relationships. She had previously been distant from her mother, Wen Qianyue, and her stepfather, Si Jianhua, due to resentment over her mother’s remarriage. In this lifetime, she chooses to be affectionate and compliant, attending family dinners and treating her stepfather with respect. This shift surprises her family, leading to a warmer dynamic. Si Jianhua, delighted by her change in behavior, transfers one million yuan as an allowance. Jiang Ci then messages her stepbrother, Si Beichen, a special forces operative she had never met. Misinterpreting her request for "a little extra" as a typo for a hundred million, he transfers that exact amount. Jiang Ci accepts the money, using it to further fund her preparations, while maintaining a facade of a reconciled sister.
Jiang Ci takes a six-month leave of absence from university to focus entirely on survival logistics. She empties her family’s suburban villa, moving all furniture, appliances, and valuable antiques into her portable space. She rents warehouses in remote locations to store bulk purchases of vegetables and other goods, ensuring her supplies are hidden and secure. As the apocalypse approaches, she documents the prosperous world through photography, preserving memories of a time that will soon vanish. The story concludes with Jiang Ci fully prepared, financially secure, and emotionally connected to her family, ready to face the coming disasters with the resources and sanctuary she has meticulously built.
