Before his rebirth, He Zizhong was unfortunate. This loyal dog had been loyal to the wrong person. In the harsh apocalypse, he was betrayed by relatives, tricked out of his spatial dimension by his lover, and tragically, hunted down by a rival who had stolen his love. Only on his deathbed did he learn that Fang Hao, who had accompanied him all along, was actually the junior from high school who had confessed his feelings to him. Sadly, he also died, right in his arms. In He Zizhong's previous life, Fang Hao felt lucky. Six or seven years later, in the despair of the apocalypse, he had found his first love, a senior from his senior year, again, and could stay by his side for half a year.

Luo Xun had survived ten years of the zombie apocalypse—not by becoming a badass warrior, but by doing what any true otaku would: hoarding supplies, avoiding people, and absolutely refusing to eat canned peaches.

Then he dies. But instead of staying dead, he respawns three months before the apocalypse begins. Armed with a decade’s worth of doomsday knowledge (and anime logic), Luo Xun sets out to prepare for the end of the world—otaku style.

---------------

His plan: Buy all the instant noodles. Stockpile solar-powered gadgets. Build the ultimate apocalypse man cave. Avoid drama.

But in reality: He ends up rescuing a gorgeous architect named Yan Fei, who looks like he should be sipping lattes in a Paris café, not laying bricks and hoisting steel beams like a tank in tight jeans. Luo Xun’s reaction?

[“He’s too pretty. He must be useless. Definitely can’t cook.”]

Spoiler: Yan Fei *can* cook. And flirt. And install solar panels.

Together, the two build the chillest stronghold in the zombie world, complete with hydroponic gardens, renewable energy, and occasional relationship bickering that sounds like:

[“You bought *another* solar oven? Where will we even put it?”

“Next to the anime figures. Priorities, okay?”]

Despite the horror setting, this novel delivers deadpan humor, wholesome survival strategies, and a romance so domestic it could be sponsored by IKEA. It's the apocalypse—but make it cozy.
