  Originally, Fang Yichen had beautiful fantasies about the life together with the two of them.

  He thought about working hard for a few years to save up some money, aiming to scrape together enough for a down payment on a house in Shen city. Even if it was a bit out of the way, it would still mean having his own little place in the city.

  Getting married and starting a family with Ling Ye, earning more money in the future, waiting for my parents to retire and then taking them in, living together as a family, how comfortable life would be!

  But all of Fang Yichen’s beautiful fantasies were shattered by Ling Ye, this despicable woman! His idealized visions of women from books were completely destroyed!

  From then on, his views on women and love were basically overturned, starting to see women and relationships from a perspective of reality and human nature.

  ... ...

  Sitting alone on the sofa in the rented room, thinking about Ling Ye’s infidelity, Fang Yichen found it hard to quell his hatred towards her, starting to tremble with anger.

  He hugged his head with both hands, curled up on the sofa, exerting force on his whole body.

  Unable to contain the emotions of pain and anger, he kept emitting low growls, as if only in this way could he alleviate the inner agony.

  Just as his emotions spiraled out of control, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head, a kind of agony as if the brain’s tissues were being torn apart, making it unbearable for him.

  Clutching his head, he writhed in agony on the sofa.

  “Ah~”

  A wounded beast-like roar squeezed out of his throat due to pain, then he rolled off the sofa onto the floor.

  He was rolling on the ground, groaning in pain incessantly. He rolled all the way to the wall and then lay still, unconscious.

  After what seemed like an eternity, Fang Yichen woke up, feeling the pain in his head subsided a bit. Slowly opening his eyes, he found himself lying in a wild grass bush.

  Feeling somewhat strange, he sat up, looked around by turning his neck.

  He couldn’t understand why he was now in the wilderness, when he was rolling in agony on the floor just a moment ago.

  In front of him was a desolate wilderness, with mountains in the distance covered with lush trees. The surroundings were filled with wild grass nearly half a person high, almost blocking his vision.

  Fang Yichen quickly stood up, clapped his hands, then patted the dirt off his body, carefully observing his surroundings.

  He felt the air here exceptionally fresh, with every breath he took, the cells in his body seemed to cheer and rejoice.

  “Could this be the legendary aura?"

  He suddenly found his thoughts a bit funny. As he carefully felt it, he had a strange sensation here, closing his eyes, his mind could clearly perceive the surroundings.

  Concentrating, he controlled his mental perception to expand towards the surroundings, quickly spreading out. Before long, he sensed the entire situation of this place.

  It was an uninhabited space, with mountains, rivers, lakes, forests, grasslands, unknown trees, and wild grass.

  Fang Yichen realized that there were no roads in this space, no signs of other biological activities, no humans, not even a single insect, just a desolate wilderness.

  Inside the space, there are mountains, rivers, hills, lakes, forests, and grasslands, and the scenery is exceptionally beautiful yet surprisingly quiet, except for the howling wind.

  The rivers and lakes are crystal clear with no fish or shrimp swimming in them; the mountains and hills are densely covered with trees, yet no animals are seen.

  The sky is not blue but rather a non-glaring white, making the entire space appear bright, even though there is no sun, but it is still well-lit.

  There are clouds floating in the air, but no birds soaring; the grass is lush and flowers are blooming, but no insects like bees or butterflies are present.

  The wind blows over the grass, and the dense grass sways, creating wave after wave of grass.

  Fang Yichen realizes that he is the only human in this world, and immediately feels a sense of loneliness, as if he has been far removed from the world and forgotten.

  To dispel this unpleasant feeling, he mutters to himself: “Strange! How do these flowers pollinate and trees bear fruit in this world without bees?”

  Arriving in a strange place out of nowhere, he is actually deeply shocked.

  “This place is so different from the world I live in and know. A sky without a sun, a world without animals, birds, or insects is truly incomprehensible!”

  After a while, he manages to calm down from the shock.

  Through careful observation, he estimates that this space covers an area of about 100 square kilometers. He doesn’t know how he came to this conclusion, but he just has this feeling.

  “It’s so vast! The entire central area of Shen City is less than 80 square kilometers, and this space is more than 20% larger.”

  “Moreover, the edges of the space are gray and hazy, and my thoughts seem unable to penetrate this gray and chaotic area.”

  Although he is shocked, the most important thing now is to figure out where he is, how he got here, and how to leave.

  Standing on a small hillock, he sees a small river not far away. Feeling thirsty, he instinctively moves towards the river.

  There is no path ahead, and walking through the deep and dense grass is particularly difficult. After struggling through the grass, he looks quite miserable. Because he is wearing shorts, his legs have been scratched by the grass, with blood trickling through the wounds.

  His palms are also scratched from pushing aside the grass. Fortunately, the wounds are not deep, and only a little blood has oozed out.

  He can’t afford to tend to his wounds, nor does he have the means to do so. He came here wearing only shorts, a T-shirt, and slippers. One of his slippers fell off during the roll earlier, so now he is barefoot, and his foot is also cut open, causing a sharp pain.

  Enduring the pain, he walks to the river. Surprisingly, there is a beach section along the riverbank, and the sand feels soft and delicate.

  Without hesitation, Fang Yichen steps onto the beach with his bare feet, feeling the texture of the fine sand beneath his soles. The river water is crystal clear, making one want to take a sip. The riverbed is covered with sand and large pebbles.

  After waking up from a hangover this morning, he went inside to take a shower and hasn’t had a sip of water yet. Seeing such clear river water now, he immediately feels as if his throat is on fire.

  He crouches down by the river and can’t resist dipping his hands into the water, cupping it, and bringing it to his mouth. He gulps down several mouthfuls in succession.

  “Refreshing~!”

  He feels invigorated all over. The river water is sweet and refreshing, and its taste is infinitely better than any “nature’s carrier.”

  Moreover, after drinking a few mouthfuls of water, he feels much more energetic and stronger. He senses that there seems to be something special in this river water......
