Rose of the Deep (深渊的玫瑰) follows a rescue that becomes difficult to explain. Chai Yuening brings a young stranger back from the surface of a ruined world. The stranger has lost her memories. No underground base has a record of her. She also seems to be a mutated plant.
Wuliao Daodi (无聊到底) writes this complete Chinese GL novel. The author’s original page describes a heavy survival setting with a happy ending. This guide covers that description, the public opening, and the chapter list.
A rescue in a world changed by plants
More than fifty years have passed since a major disaster. Mutated plants have changed the surface, and people live in underground bases. Chai Yuening rescues the stranger, Chu Ci, and takes responsibility for her.
Chu Ci resists other people but responds to her rescuer. As Chai Yuening learns more, the person she has brought home becomes harder to place within the rules of human society.
The first chapter shows why the rescue is risky. Chai Yuening must get out of a dangerous area. She also fears that an injured stranger could be infected. She offers help without forcing the stranger to accept it.
A heavy setting with a stated happy ending
The author labels the story as post-apocalyptic fiction with some cosmic horror. The page also uses “HE,” meaning a happy ending. You can know that broad direction without learning how the final events unfold.
A happy ending does not mean a gentle journey. The public opening includes injuries, deaths, graphic remains, and fear of infection. The author recommends the work for readers aged 21 and over. These notes are a starting point, not a complete list for the whole novel.

Read the main sections before the extras
The original has 76 main-story chapters, followed by five extra stories. The chapter list groups the main story into three sections:
- Chapters 1–36: 夜雾, or night mist.
- Chapters 37–51: 悬空, or suspended.
- Chapters 52–76: 晨钟, or morning bell.
Continue in numerical order, then read entries 77 to 81 under the extras heading. This keeps the later material after the main ending. The site marks the Chinese original complete.
Chapters 1 to 18 appear without VIP labels. Chapter 19 begins the paid VIP section. Check the site’s current access terms before you start.
Choose the version that suits your reading
Use the Chinese title and author name together when you compare editions. A complete original does not establish that an English translation is complete or licensed. The source linked here is the Chinese web edition.
For an English web serial with action and a lesbian romance tag, see our Stray Cat Strut guide. Choose Rose of the Deep when you want a completed Chinese survival romance and can accept its darker material. Begin with the public opening to check the tone.
