In a world overrun by killer plants and poisoned soil, humanity is barely holding on. Enter Xu Jianyu, a guilt-ridden ex-agricultural scientist who just wants to mind his business in the apocalypse. But when a sassy, morally questionable system called Eden's Core shoves a glowing seed in his hands and says, “Congrats, you’re the chosen farmer now!”—his quiet days are officially over.

The quest? Grow magical crops, heal the land, and save humanity from total annihilation. No pressure, right? Oh, and there’s a catch: fail the system's tasks, and it’ll slap him with killer migraines, nausea, or worse. Yikes.

Enter Liu Zhenfeng, a hot, grumpy ex-mercenary with a deadly rep and zero patience for soft-spoken plant nerds. He’s got one job: keep Xu Jianyu alive long enough to grow his fancy farm and not die. Easy...

As the Black Bloom monsters get smarter and the Queen Bloom closes in, Xu Jianyu and Liu Zhenfeng find themselves fighting side by side. But when Eden drops its ultimate plot twist—things get way more complicated than “water your crops and don’t die.”

Apocalypse Farm System (BL)

Morning came, but Jianyu wasn't really there.

Physically, sure, he was sitting at the usual breakfast table, eating his usual portion of whatever Chengxin had made. But mentally? He might as well have been on a different planet.

She plopped down next to him, dramatic as always, resting her chin on her hands. "Jianyu ge," she sang, stretching the nickname out like she was calling a pet. No response.

Chengxin, who had been quietly sipping his tea, gave her a questioning look.

"He's broken," Qi Qi announced, straight-faced.

She nodded, very serious, then without hesitation, reached over and poked Jianyu's cheek.

Jianyu finally looked up, giving her a slow, exhausted blink.

Qi Qi gasped, looking deeply offended. "No snarky comeback? No 'Qi Qi, I swear to god'? Not even a sigh of suffering?"
