In her previous life, Jiang Yan's stepfather tricked her mother into going on a trip to celebrate their wedding anniversary, but it was all a lie. He murdered her mother and locked Jiang Yan in the basement of their villa to take her large inheritance. He even ruined one of her hands. When natural disasters started happening and the apocalypse was coming, his family hid in the villa and later planned to use Jiang Yan for their own survival. But Jiang Yan was given a second chance. She woke up three months before the apocalypse began. This time, she unlocked a special portable Space that could store unlimited supplies. After taking revenge on her stepfather, she used her money to prepare. She bought yachts, helicopters, RVs, weapons, boats, food, clothes, and daily necessities. From expensive meals to simple street food, she stored everything inside her Space. With only one month left, she trained hard. She learned how to shoot, fly planes, drive boats, fight, farm, and even operate heavy machines. She wanted to be ready for anything. In July, two powerful typhoons caused massive flooding starting from Japan, marking the start of the apocalypse. After that came extreme heat, heavy rain, earthquakes, pests, freezing weather, nuclear pollution, and mutated animals and plants. While others struggled and fought over small amounts of food and water, Jiang Yan stayed safe in her secure home. She grew vegetables, raised fish, and lived comfortably, fully prepared for the ruined world outside.

When an Imperial Decree demands that every noble household send their eligible daughters to the palace for the Xuancai (Imperial Selection), the Nangong Marquisate faces a dilemma. To protect their favored daughter from the risks of the inner court, they send Ning Xiang-the ignored, illegitimate daughter born of a lowly maid-alongside her legitimate sister, Nangong Bi. Bi is arrogant, haughty, and convinced she is destined to be the next Empress. Ning Xiang, however, enters the palace with only one goal: to survive long enough to eventually earn her freedom and find her mother. The young Emperor Li Zhao is a man of sharp intellect and deep isolation. Haunted by the fact that he has no heirs, he is surrounded by women who view his lap only as a stepping stone for their families. At the center of the web is Empress Xiao, a woman whose elegance masks a ruthless, calculating mind. She maintains her power by ensuring no consort stays in favor long enough to threaten her position. Beside her are the "Four Consorts," each more insidious than the last, turning the harem into a battlefield where a single wrong word can lead to execution. From the cold chambers of a Cairen to the silk-lined halls of the Huang Guifei (Imperial Noble Consort), Ning Xiang transforms. She sheds her innocence, learning that in the Daming Palace, one must either be the predator or the prey. As she stands one step away from the Empress's throne, she must decide if the power she has gained is worth the soul she has traded for it-and whether she can finally protect the empire from the schemes that threaten to burn it down. "In this garden of peonies, only the one with the sharpest thorns survives the winter."

He burned for control. She was born of chaos. Together, they'll shatter the laws that broke them-and forge a love fierce enough to change everything. - In a kingdom where magic is law and the powerless are sold like cattle, survival is a coin few can afford. Every season, the poorest are swept from the streets and auctioned off as Familiars - living mana batteries to feed the ambitions of greedy sorcerers. Forgotten. Disposable. Erissa expected pain when she was claimed by Lord Kaelen Carmentis - the coldest sorcerer in the court, and heir to one of the oldest bloodlines in the realm. She didn't expect the bond to awaken something inside her. And she certainly didn't expect that, in the silence between them, she would feel safe. But Familiars aren't meant to be felt. And whatever is growing between them... is breaking every rule. Because she was never meant to survive the system. She was meant to rewrite it - and burn the old world down in the process.

I didn't expect to be murdered, and the less i expected is to be transmigrated like in those chessy novels. But what can i do, when it's already my new world.

This is not an order, but this is my GOAL. because i'm Jennie William. ____________𝓣𝓱𝓪𝓷𝓴𝓼ღ____________ NOTE: An amateur writer.
