The Delicate Heiress Who Transmigrated into the Apocalypse Refuses to Survive

Le Huan, a twenty-year-old woman born with a severe heart condition and raised as the pampered eldest miss of the wealthy Yu family, finds herself on the verge of death in an ICU. A mysterious voice, identified as System 1066, pulls her consciousness into a space-time apocalypse zone. The system explains that Le Huan was selected because of her strong desire to survive and her proximity to death. To return to her original world and cure her fatal illness, she must accumulate goodwill points by performing acts that generate positive emotions in others. System 1066, a small egg-shaped entity with limited energy, agrees to assist her in exchange for a portion of the points. Upon arriving in this new reality, Le Huan discovers she has transmigrated into the body of a girl with the same name, who is also the daughter of the Yu family. The environment is a dusty, abandoned European-style house in the outskirts of City B, filled with the rotting scent of the dead. Through a window, Le Huan witnesses shambling zombies, confirming the setting is a post-apocalyptic world in its fifth year. Terrified and physically weak, she initially attempts to command the useless system to handle the threats, but realizes she must rely on others for survival.

While hiding from a search team, Le Huan encounters Zhao Yan, the cold and capable leader of a survivor squad. Zhao Yan is nearly 1.9 meters tall, scarred, and ruthless in combat, yet he shows a moment of unexpected kindness by offering her a compressed biscuit. Recognizing his strength and the goodwill points he generates, Le Huan decides to attach herself to his team. She manipulates the situation by feigning fear and crying, which causes the team members, particularly the soft-hearted Wu You, to sympathize with her. Zhao Yan, initially stern, finds himself unable to abandon her, partly due to a lingering sense of duty. It is revealed that Zhao Yan was once sponsored by Le Huan’s parents, the Yu family, during his childhood in an orphanage. This connection motivates him to protect her as a form of repayment for their past kindness. As they travel together toward the nearest survivor base over 300 kilometers away, Zhao Yan gradually assumes the role of her caretaker, enduring her spoiled demands and delicate nature.

The journey is fraught with danger, including a close encounter with a massive horde of zombies at a gas station. During the escape, Le Huan faints from carsickness and fear, waking up in Zhao Yan’s arms. This incident deepens Zhao Yan’s protective instincts, and he begins to indulge her whims, such as cooking for her, cleaning her clothes, and providing comfort when she is cold or afraid. Le Huan, aware of his growing affection, strategically uses her charm to maintain his devotion, viewing him as a means to accumulate the goodwill points necessary for her return home. She does not reciprocate his romantic feelings, considering him merely a convenient guardian. However, Zhao Yan’s feelings evolve from duty to genuine love, as he sees her as a fragile treasure in a harsh world. He suppresses his own desires, content to stay by her side as long as she needs him, even if she never loves him in return.

As they approach the base, the dynamic between Le Huan and Zhao Yan shifts. He becomes increasingly attentive, preparing special meals and ensuring her comfort, while Le Huan continues to test his patience with her temper. The team members observe the change in their leader, noting his transformation from a cold commander to a devoted servant. Despite the dangers of the apocalypse, Le Huan’s primary goal remains focused on survival and accumulating points. The story highlights the contrast between Le Huan’s privileged, sheltered past and the brutal reality she now faces, as well as Zhao Yan’s internal struggle between his hardened exterior and his softening heart. Their relationship is built on a foundation of manipulation and gratitude, yet it develops into a complex bond that challenges both characters as they navigate the remnants of civilization.
