After spending twenty-five years surviving a world of blood, betrayal, and assassination, Shen Mian had only one dream.
Retirement.
A cozy house in the mountains. A garden full of vegetables. Plenty of delicious food. And absolutely no troublesome people.
With enough savings to last several lifetimes, the former elite assassin finally abandoned her dangerous career and settled into the peaceful life she'd always wanted.
Unfortunately, peace didn't last.
One morning, she discovered a gravely injured, ridiculously handsome stranger collapsed in the forest.
He had no identification, suspicious wounds that healed on their own, and a pair of unsettling golden eyes.
Shen Mian should have left him alone.
Instead, she brought him home.
A decision she would soon regret.
Because while she was busy worrying about her vegetables, her noisy rooster, and a baby goat with a taste for expensive clothing, something terrifying was spreading beyond the mountains.
The dead were changing. Civilization was beginning to crumble. And the mysterious man sleeping in her guest room was far more dangerous than she could have imagined.
Worse, he wouldn't be the last troublesome man to enter her life.
As the apocalypse unfolds, Shen Mian's carefully planned retirement turns into a struggle involving dangerous survivors, evolving monsters, powerful men with secrets of their own, and an ability she never expected to awaken.
All she wants is a quiet life.
But apparently, the end of the world has other plans.
“I retired to avoid trouble. Why does trouble keep moving into my house?!”
