I refused to donate my kidney to my sister, Juliette. As punishment, my family forced me to marry the Don of the Chicago mafia. Everyone said Caius Castellano kept people at arm’s length, that his heart still belonged to his first love. Everyone was waiting for my downfall. But against all odds, Caius worshipped me. In the three years of our marriage, he was insatiable, his hands perpetually on me, no matter where we were. He’d even follow me into the bathroom, pressing me against the cold marble countertop. We never used protection, yet I never conceived. Then one day, thinking I was finally pregnant, we went to a private clinic. And there, I overheard a conversation between him and the doctor. "Caius, three years ago, you had me secretly transplant Sera’s kidney into Juliette. And now you want me to lie and tell her she’s naturally infertile? How can you be so cruel to the woman who loves you?" "I had no choice. Juliette is too frail—she would have been destroyed in the Marco family if she couldn’t have children. And only Sera’s kidney was a match." The voice I knew so intimately was suddenly foreign, colder than ice. The love and salvation I had clung to were nothing but an elaborate lie. If that was the truth… then I had to run. It was my only way out.

Before they can recover from learning their fates, another thought leaks out— [Sigh, the apocalypse is coming soon. As a three-year-old cannon fodder, can I go offline early? I don't want to suffer through the end of the world…] Looking at the little milk dumpling in their arms, pretending to be silly just so she can laze around… What else can the Bai family do but spoil her?

Meanwhile, little Yunyun follows her protagonist aunt, accidentally kicking off the base-building plot and helping create a super base where food and clothing are abundant, even in the apocalypse. Step by step, the Bai family rises to power. In the end, Yunyun is dumbfounded: [Wait… wasn't I supposed to be cannon fodder?!
