Lin Jingxue had indeed just arrived at the hotel, and she wasn’t alone. She was accompanied by a teenage boy and his younger sister, whom she hadn’t been able to leave behind on the road out of pity.
The boy was actually about the same age as Lin Jingxue, but once she learned his identity, her heart was filled with mixed emotions.
That’s right—Lin Jingxue had transmigrated into this world from a novel. She had arrived the day before the apocalypse began.
It was ironic: the night before her transmigration, she had been reading this very novel. Up until that point, the story had been wonderful—male and female leads teaming up from the start of the apocalypse, supporting each other, punishing villains, building a base, helping countless people. A beautiful tale!
But then… the author completely ruined it. The female lead was first killed and her Spiritual Spring space stolen. Later, the male lead was betrayed and killed by his own subordinates. In the end, they both perished alongside the villains, and the world was destroyed…
A “perfect ending,” indeed!
Lin Jingxue was furious. In a fit of anger, she posted a 2,000-character review, only to suddenly feel dizzy and find herself inside the book.
At first, she didn’t realize she had transmigrated into a book. Since the story opened during the apocalypse, Lin Jingxue thought she had merely entered a parallel world.
The original character was like her—a senior at S University, fourth year—and worked in a large internet company downtown. Even their appearance was identical.
If it weren’t for the change of residence, Lin Jingxue would have thought she was still in her original world.
When she arrived, it was morning—the original character was presumably about to go to work. Then Lin Jingxue remembered the company boss’s name… wasn’t that the name of the male lead from the novel she had just read?
She recalled some of the employees’ names… Holy crap! These were the names of the male lead’s subordinates in the story!
And the person who had killed the female lead and stolen her Spiritual Spring space? That was the original character’s direct superior!
Lin Jingxue wanted to cry but had no tears. She decisively had the taxi driver change direction and headed straight to the largest nearby market to stock up on supplies!
Go to work? More like going to your death!
Lin Jingxue first bit her finger in a public restroom to activate the Spiritual Spring space on her neck, then went on a shopping spree, secretly storing everything in her space.
During this, her murderous boss even called her, but Lin Jingxue ignored him. Later, she even removed her phone card—useless anyway after the apocalypse.
The original character’s parents had passed away, leaving her with no relatives worth contacting.
They had left her a sizable inheritance, which allowed Lin Jingxue to shop so freely. She even rented a warehouse to hide her purchases.
It wasn’t until 10 p.m. that she finally finished shopping and returned to her parents’ house to await the apocalypse.
As expected, at midnight, a celestial anomaly appeared exactly as described in the novel. Lin Jingxue’s last shred of luck vanished—she truly had transmigrated, and into a novel from a news outlet!
The male lead couldn’t be sought out now; the best thing was to stay as far away as possible.
Thanks to her Spiritual Spring space, Lin Jingxue managed for a while. She stayed safely in the house, only occasionally stepping out to deal with zombies harassing her doorstep.
With the Spiritual Spring water, her physique strengthened significantly, and she even awakened a water-based ability!
Indeed, the heavens favored their daughter.
She trained her water ability to level 4. A month had passed since the apocalypse began, and Lin Jingxue decided to go out. There was no water or electricity in her room, making everything inconvenient. Zombies could also now climb upstairs to harass her, which was extremely annoying.
Upon leaving, she encountered Meng Qingzhou and her younger sister. At that moment, Meng Qingzhou was pinned to the ground by several burly powered individuals, beaten until bloody.
Her sister was being stripped by several adult male powered individuals. The girl was only 13! Pure savagery.
Lin Jingxue could not bear it and intervened. Surprisingly, the powered individuals were weak—most were level 1 or 2, the highest level was 3—and against Lin Jingxue, who was level 4 approaching 5, they were utterly helpless.
Soon, they were kneeling and begging for mercy. Lin Jingxue sneered. They only knew how to bully ordinary people.
In the end, she didn’t kill them—after all, she was raised in the modern world. But she disabled their abilities; broken limbs were inevitable. The rest she left to their fate.
She initially intended just to rescue them and leave, but the siblings followed her everywhere.
Eventually, Lin Jingxue didn’t mind. Two extra people weren’t a problem—they could help drive, talk with her, and even assist in killing zombies. Why not?
Meng Qingzhou also had abilities—fire-based—but very weak, below level 2, which explained why they had been bullied so easily.
Later, when Lin Jingxue learned Meng Qingzhou’s name, she was speechless: this wasn’t the “Zombie King” who would later perish alongside the male lead?
Well, that explains it. Her role really was that of a female lead—always attracting villains.
