In a world ravaged by a catastrophic event 39 years ago, humanity's remnants have clustered into fortified cities and bustling markets behind towering walls, using a mysterious power known as "Force" to fend off deadly creatures that emerged from the chaos. Among these survivors is a boy, a resident of a city hidden behind these walls. This boy lives a relatively peaceful life with his best friend until an unknown incident engulfs his city in flames, leaving it in ruins. The boy's best friend perishes in the catastrophe, and he himself suffers grievous injuries, seemingly fatal. Miraculously, despite being burned, crushed, and losing copious amounts of blood, the boy clings to life through sheer willpower and perhaps a deeper connection to the Force than he ever realized. Driven by a burning desire for revenge and answers, he embarks on a quest to uncover the truth behind the destruction of his city and the forces at play. As he journeys through the dangerous lands outside the walls, he encounters allies and enemies, each with their own stories of survival and loss. The boy's life transforms as he learns to harness the true potential of the Force, facing trials that test his resolve and uncovering secrets that challenge his understanding of the world and the catastrophe that changed it forever. His path of vengeance becomes one of discovery, leading him to confront the creatures and shadowy figures responsible for the devastation, and ultimately, to redefine his purpose in a world on the brink of another upheaval.

Lou Yuzhu adopts a parrot from a friend, raising it from hatchling to adulthood with the utmost care and affection. She names it Tao Tao. Little Tao Tao has a soft yellow-green plumage, a light aquamarine tail, and an overall pastel-like appearance—a bird as elegant as a dream. Always gentle, affectionate, and friendly to people, Tao Tao never caused any trouble. Until one day, Lou Yuzhu brought a man she was dating home for dinner. That night, Tao Tao became depressed, plucking out its own feathers in distress. To help her beloved pet recover, Lou Yuzhu banned the man from stepping into her home again. She even borrowed a handsome male parrot from the bird market, hoping to cheer Tao Tao up. Tao Tao, however, was furious. It knocked over its food bowl, crashed into windows in a fit of rage, and nearly injured itself out of sheer anger. Frightened, Lou Yuzhu quickly returned the male parrot to the market. Cradling Tao Tao, she cooed and reassured the bird: “Okay, okay, I’ll only keep you. Be good, don’t be mad. You’re my prettiest, sweetest little baby.” [Tags- Adorable Pet | Tsundere | Slow Burn] [This novel is translated, 2-3 chapters / days, CT: 黛鸦青]
