This novel is pretty good. But, it's less about the apocalypse and more about intrigue. Which I don't really care about for the time being (I'm not in the mood for it, which is primarily why I did not give the novel a rating). Maybe I would have kept reading if the focus was on the FL and ML, their dynamics are unique (they're a perfect pair of innocent mu*derers XD if that makes any sense. One moment, they're as sweet as angels, and the next moment, they're as treacherous or mu*derous as devils.) It's not particularly interesting watching them fall in love, but there's a bit of satisfaction when seeing such a perfect pair fit together. If it were in normal modern times and the circumstances are just right, they could have been a pair of serial killers that killed people in their free time and lived completely average suburban lives the rest of the time — I find that oddly fascinating XD. But even that has its limits.I would definitely want to read it again in the future for the sake of seeing the ending of this pair. But for now, this novel is not what I'm looking for. I went into it with the wrong mentality. Thinking this would be a typical zombie apocalypse survival novel. But it's really nothing like that. So, a different mood is required when reading it._____________SUMMARY: The FL, Jiang Ran, is an orphaned college student that ended up transmigrating into a book she had recently read. In that book, a girl named Jiang Ranran played the role of an insignificant cannon fodder. She was the hero's first girlfriend, but because she didn't have any abilities, she was cast aside by her boyfriend after he had met the heroine. In the end, while the pair took them with her to head to the base, they also didn't hesitate to sell her off when a man with interest in her came to buy her.The FL came into the story around this time. She was saved from drowning by the ML (Si Xu, the villain boss of the original novel), and was later bought by him as a "plaything". The FL expected the ML to be cruel and perverse, because that's the way the original heroine described him but he turned out to be a little different. It's true that he's perverse, but he's also surprisingly innocent. Innocent enough to ease the FL's discomfort after being thrown into an apocalyptic world. The two make a deal after their official first meeting, and from then on, she became his, and he became hers. (As mentioned, this is less about surviving the apocalypse and more about intrigue. The ML is an experimental subject with existing conflicts with the leaders of the main base. Meanwhile, the original owner of the FL's body is the daughter of a scientist who knows more about the apocalypse than probably anyone else in the world. So, there's lots of drama and mystery afoot!!)
