Chu Ling was obsessed with a novel titled 'My Wife is Mute in the Apocalypse' and deeply captivated by the female lead’s wife, Gu Xiyan. Despite being mute, Gu Xiyan relied on her ability to see through people’s hearts to ascend step by step and become the ruler of the post-apocalyptic world. However, Chu Ling was enraged when she realized the female lead used Gu Xiyan as a stepping stone for her own gain. Just as she was about to leave a comment to complain to the author, a truck accident transported her into the novel, where she became a minor cannon fodder character who only had a few lines. To make matters worse, the system that bound itself to her malfunctioned, swapping out the survival system intended for the apocalypse with the 'Shut-in System' "Would you like this braised beef-flavored instant noodle or the pickled cabbage-flavored one?" While trying to survive the apocalypse by selling instant noodles, Chu Ling unexpectedly encountered Gu Xiyan. Knowing what the female lead would do to harm her later, Chu Ling resolved to help Gu Xiyan escape the female lead's clutches! "Gu Xiyan fell for the female lead because the female lead saved her life! So if I save Gu Xiyan instead, she won't fall for her, right? I’m a genius!" From afar, Chu Ling stared at Gu Xiyan, thinking to herself, Wow, Gu Xiyan is so gorgeous. No wonder I like her. Wait, why is Gu Xiyan blushing? Gu Xiyan, mute since childhood, had thought she would spend her entire life that way. She never expected to awaken the ability to read minds. Listening to the vulgar thoughts hidden behind the polite facades of others, she realized that the apocalypse had not only destroyed the world but also corrupted human hearts. But then, a noisy voice repeatedly broke through the mental cacophony. Gu Xiyan pinpointed the source of the voice—a mercenary who had been staring at her. On the surface, the mercenary seemed emotionless, and Gu Xiyan assumed she was just another money-driven individual. Yet the voice in her mind was deafening: [She’s so beautiful! I love her so much! I wonder if she eats instant noodles?] The repeated confessions left Gu Xiyan’s heart numb.
