My name is Hazel Falken, and I am the only daughter of the Base Commander during the apocalypse. Even though it is the apocalypse, I am still spoiled left and right by my family and raised to be their little princess at home. My dad, Ernest Falken, is worried that I will marry into a family that will mistreat me. So, he decides to choose four husband candidates and bring them up in our own home for me to pick from when I'm older. In my past life, I chose Curtis Granger, whom I have liked for a long while, when Dad asked me to pick my husband. However, not long after our marriage, Curtis volunteers himself as a guard to be stationed outside the base perimeter. He never returns home after that, and I am left living as a widow in the safety of the base's inner district. 30 years later, when my hair has turned fully white, I decide that I can't wait for him anymore and go out to find him. I then realize that he has formed another family outside the base without my knowing. It then dawns on me that Curtis never liked me. He had also only married me because he wanted to repay Dad for bringing him up. Not long after that, a wave of zombies attacks us. Curtis pushes me down and shields me under his body. "Hazel, I know that I never should've lied to you. I'll give up my life to repay the kindness that Commander Falken has shown to me. "But if there is a next life, I hope that you won't pick me again." When I open my eyes again, I find out that I have travelled back in time to the day when Dad asks me to pick my husband. "Hazel, these four people are my right-hand men. Whom would you like to pick as your husband?"

El mismo día que me tocó dar a luz, la alumna de mi esposo —embarazada y con el orgullo atravesado— decidió largarse sola a escalar la Cordillera de los Andes. Mientras él se la pasaba buscándola sin dormir, como un desesperado, yo estaba en el hospital, desangrándome en un parto complicado que me mandó directo a terapia intensiva. Cuando por fin abrí los ojos, lo primero que vi fue al médico entregándole a mi esposo el parte donde decía que mi vida estaba en riesgo... y él, en vez de acercarse a darme un poco de consuelo, me aventó en la cara los papeles del divorcio. —Camila es mi mejor estudiante —me soltó, serio—. No me voy a quedar de brazos cruzados viendo cómo hace semejante locura. Tú vas a ser mamá, te toca aguantar. En esa vida no firmé. Apenas salí de la sala de partos, me fui directo a la universidad a denunciarlo por la relación que tenía con su alumna. A ella la terminaron sacando del posgrado, y la presión fue tan fuerte que un día se cortó la garganta delante de mí. Cuando él llegó, ya no había nada que hacer: dos vidas se habían ido de golpe. Él no dijo una sola palabra, organizó el entierro y después me trató como si nada hubiera pasado. Yo, ingenua, pensé que por fin la vida iba a darme un respiro. Pero el día que nuestra hija cumplió un año, él le pisó al acelerador y el carro en el que íbamos se fue directo al precipicio. Ese mismo día... se cumplía un año de la muerte de su alumna. Cuando volví a abrir los ojos, estaba otra vez en la sala de partos, justo en el momento en que casi se me iba la vida.
