Shen Yu's only hope? Play the villain to keep the plot on track. But his attempts at malice keep hilariously backfiring, and the male lead, instead of growing furious, seems... amused? The story is veering wildly off course, and Shen Yu's carefully laid plans are crumbling, replaced by a terrifying new reality: the male lead might just be developing feelings for him.

One month before the apocalypse, my step-brother's gaze turned terrifying. He taught me survival, provided precious resources, but his intentions were clear.

This is a story of a snake-like male lead and a tenacious sister surviving (and more) in the end times. It's sweet and happy! Jinjiang Gold Medal Recommendation: A reborn male lead with a 'snake disease,' powerful as a golden finger. The heroine is tenacious, righteous, full of positive energy. A good read.
