After all, Su Qinglan wasn't some fragile little girl. She had lived an entire lifetime in the apocalypse, where people only cared about themselves.
In that world, kindness was weakness, friendships were traps, and trusting anyone meant signing your own death warrant.
She had seen people smile one second and stab you the next. She had seen betrayal so often that she preferred loneliness over fake companionship.
Because in the apocalypse, the moment you were betrayed, you were gone, dead. So she had learned to live alone, to kill without hesitation, and to become the monster people feared before they could become the monster that killed her.
And even though she had restrained that dark, ruthless nature after coming to the beast world, choosing instead to try living a soft, peaceful life with her small family, that did not mean she had become harmless. If someone dared to bully her, she would never sit still and accept it.
