    In the second year of the apocalypse, Du Yue died alone, killed by apathy and exposure to extreme weather. Somehow, she opened her eyes to find herself not only alive, but also back when it was three months before the apocalypse. Despite the surprise, she thought about the upcoming disasters and upheavals. First, it was the fog that carried a virus that stayed for a month. Then, global temperatures rose to over 120 degrees, evaporating most of the world's water and melting all the icebergs. After that were level-10 earthquakes, cyclones, tsunamis, permanent eclipse, and avid rain... and that was not all, because after global warming, came global freezing. As temperatures dropped to below negative fifty, the savagery humans displayed was far worse than any imagined horrors like zombies! Knowing what was coming, Du Yue sold off her family property and used the pocket dimension her mother left her to hoard as many resources as possible, so that she could survive the apocalypse. Meat? Grain? Oil? Spices? Weather gear? She bought everything! Steaks, French fries, spaghetti, and canned food must all be stocked up!

    Second Chance at Life "They lost their first life to silence. Their second begins with three children calling them Mother and Father." Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian once had everything-successful careers, a beautiful home, and a love that never truly disappeared. But somewhere between endless meetings, late nights, and unspoken words, they forgot how to reach each other. Their marriage ended not because they stopped loving one another, but because they stopped making time for the people who mattered most. On the day they sign their divorce papers, tragedy strikes. When they open their eyes again, they are no longer in modern China. They have transmigrated into the bodies of a notorious couple living through one of the worst famines in ancient China-a gambler and his lazy wife, hated by the entire village for neglecting their home and abusing their three children. The original couple is dead. Their modern lives are gone forever. Now, with nothing but a collapsing house, crushing debts, three frightened children, and a world where every meal is a struggle, Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian must learn to survive. Together. Armed with Wei Wuxian's knowledge of traditional medicine, Lan Wangji's experience in construction and rural development, and a mysterious Soulmate Exchange System that rewards cooperation instead of miracles, they begin rebuilding not only a home, but also the marriage they once let slip away. This is not a story about changing the past. It is about choosing each other again. One meal. One promise. One day at a time. A heartwarming historical rebirth novel about family, survival, healing, slow-burn romance, and finding home in the people you love.
