Disclaimer: This story is not my original work. I have uploaded it here solely for personal, offline use. Yun Xiaoxiao was knocked unconscious by her phone and transmigrated into a female supporting character in a tumultuous era. The original character abandoned her family to return to the city and was accidentally killed by her abusive husband. With the Golden Finger shopping app in hand, Xiaoxiao could buy whatever she was lacking and raised her two kids plump and healthy. But when she wanted to divorce the male lead and live a wonderful life alone, the male lead was suddenly unwilling! Male lead: "Wife, I'll make sure you have a good life." Da Bao: "Mom, I will honor you well." Xiao Bao: "Mom, don't leave us, I can be cute." The father and sons acted pitiful, just trying to keep her, who had crossed over. Back, back, back... You belong to the Main Female Character, not to me, the female supporting character.

They said the world was ending, but it didn't start with fire or war. It began with a storm-just like any other. But this time, it didn't stop. The rain fell for days, then weeks, and then came the flood that drowned everything. When the sun finally broke through the clouds, people thought it was over. They thought it was hope. But that hope was a lie. The sun scorched the land. Insects bred in the rotting water. Plague spread like wildfire. Water became scarce, food even scarcer. They said Mother Earth was angry, and I believed them. I did everything to survive. Even if it meant relying on a filthy, twisted man for bread. He preyed on girls like me-young, desperate, orphaned. He fed us, clothed us, and in return, demanded we sell our bodies. He called it "the price of protection." Men came to us like vultures. They stripped away our innocence and left us hollow. And then, one winter night, starving people stormed our hideout. They came with knives and desperation. I threw myself in front of the youngest girl when one lunged to stab her. I took the blade meant for her. As my body went cold, I felt no fear. Just peace. Finally, I thought. This nightmare is over. But when I opened my eyes again... I was in my bed. Warm. Dry. Dressed in pajamas. It hadn't been a nightmare. It had been real. And now, it's happening all over again. But this time, I won't be weak. This time, I won't be used. This time... I'll survive. No matter the cost.
