One moment, Shi Qian is reading in his study. The next, he transmigrates into the body of an unlucky female insect with the exact same name.
In this world, there is no concept of men and women. There are female insects, who bear offspring, and male insects, who are exceedingly rare. Then there are the lesser females, whose job is to please the males.
As soon as Shi Qian makes his entrance, his father sends him to the bed of an old male insect.
At this critical moment, the original story's great villain reaches out to him.
"Please, Your Highness, save me."
But Shi Qian, accustomed to handling everything on his own, refuses.
Shi Qian: "Thank you for the offer, but we don't know each other. I don't want to trouble you."
He thinks the man in front of him will leave, but instead, the man rescues him and takes him home.
From then on, a ray of light enters Shi Qian's bleak life. As they spend more time together, he grows deeply fond of that light. So one day, he confesses to Ji Nanfeng.
"I like you."
Ji Nanfeng: "We're just brothers. I like male insects. I'll pretend I didn't hear you say that today."
Years later, after Shi Qian finally wins over the proud female insect, he stares silently at a pregnancy test and says:
"Didn't you say you were a female insect? How come I'm carrying eggs?"
Faced with this situation, Shi Qian guiltily looks away...
"I mean... would you believe me if I said I changed sex..."
