Natural disasters ravage the world: a super typhoon sweeps across the globe, seawater floods the land, and calamities strike one after another. Extreme cold, unbearable heat, earthquakes, volcanic ash, tornadoes, acid rain—the disasters seem endless. Lin Buwan struggled to survive in this post-apocalyptic world for two years, only to be betrayed by her boyfriend and left to freeze to death in the wilderness. When she is reborn three days before the end descends, a twist of fate grants her a portable apartment. No money to stock up on supplies? She finds a way to gather them for free. No vegetables?

Just as he was about to reach for it, Lin Buwan, without a moment’s hesitation, brought the keyboard down with a smack onto the beautiful cake. Cream splattered everywhere, and the once-perfect cake was instantly reduced to a mess.
