Lan Shiruo perished, consumed by a brutal apocalypse, her beloved son stolen and her life utterly ruined by the very family she’d vowed to protect. Betrayed, exploited, and discarded, her last breath was a desperate, burning curse against those who condemned her to a carrion's fate. But fate had other plans. She awakens to the very morning the acid rain began, her ancient phoenix bracelet now an infinite personal sanctuary, her newborn son's cries a desperate beacon. Armed with perfect future knowledge and a fiercely loyal, evolving mastiff by her side, this time, she would not be prey; she would be the predator. While the world descends into chaos, Lan Shiruo systematically raids forgotten caches, stockpiles resources, and cultivates her burgeoning water power. The apocalypse is here, a monstrous test of survival, but for Lan Shiruo, it's a second chance to forge an unshakeable empire and deliver a chilling, devastating reckoning to those who dared to betray the mother of the future.
