Synopsis

[Zerg, seme protagonist, both hiding their identities, sweet 1v1 romance, both devoted only to each other, mutual pampering, all the classic zerg tropes. A very slow burn, everyday-life sweetness. Really, really slow burn. Feel free to leave if that's not your thing.]

Ji Yunshan transmigrates into the zerg world and becomes a male zerg.

He disguises himself as a female zerg and lives by the rules in this world for five years, until he meets that slave. The first time he sees Estelle, the slave is beside a broken shelf, on the verge of being discarded. He is weak and fading, yet his eyes blaze so fiercely they're startling.

Ji Yunshan buys him for two star coins, without expecting much. The female zerg he brings home is suspicious and sensitive. At first he's dazed and quiet, then he starts biting people and investigating Ji Yunshan's past. When Ji Yunshan discovers how much suffering he's endured, he reminds him of the pitiful little dog Ji Yunshan once had.

Ji Yunshan goes to great lengths to raise him into a lively, affectionate companion who buries himself in Ji Yunshan's arms and wags his tail. Ji Yunshan thinks that at last, in this lonely zerg world, he'll have a bond of his own. But why is someone telling him that the female zerg he bought is an Imperial General?

Many years later, General Estelle writes in his diary, “I met a very special female zerg. He treats me well, and wants to keep me by his side forever. He told me about creatures called ‘puppies.’ I'm willing to be his ‘puppy,’ but when I finished everything and came wagging my tail to find him, he had become a male zerg.”

“I hate male zergs, but I love him.”

I want something with content similar to "Palace Lock: Cold Willow". It combines all kinds of elements: transmigration, medicine, detoxification, palace intrigue, and a groveling redemption arc.

So sweet! I initially thought it was just simple amnesia, but it turns out it's actually about "falling in love with you repeatedly at different ages" 💕

I was drawn in at the beginning. Although I only gave this book four stars, it was only the second half and the ending that were lacking. The logic and setup of the first half were more comprehensive than many highly rated books. The problem is that the middle part of the book lacks passion (I'll let you in on a secret, most books have this problem).

It's so good! Both main characters are such good kids! I've read a lot of Zerg-themed novels, and they all become mindlessly sweet and boring after a while. This book gave me a feeling of love flowing gently and steadily, a love that flows softly. It was a very enjoyable watch; it wasn't like the two people just got together out of nowhere.

This book is amazing!!! I highly recommend it to all readers. Although it's newly released and has low ratings, the content quality is top-notch!!! This book has huge potential!!! It's really good; I haven't read a Zerg novel that suits my taste in so long. I'm so excited!!! (There are a few minor spoilers in the comments below.)

This time I'm actually reading a debut novel, which is a bit short. However, the author updates very frequently, and the plot is excellent, incredibly engaging and original. It's rare to find something so to my liking. The pacing is just right, and it should be finished soon.

The romance is intertwined with the plot, involving many factions. The author foreshadows and twists for the ending, but the ending progresses too quickly, and the power dynamics aren't particularly detailed (for example, the Second Prince and his faction are only briefly mentioned at the end, and the aftermath for each faction isn't well-handled in the main text).

Mr. Ji is so gentle and has such a stable temper. He's a guiding lover, and he's also a bit of a puppy-dog charmer for Estelle. He's adorable from time to time, and you can feel the author's love for the protagonist through the text. The three personalities of the protagonist in the early stages are practically acting out the line, "No matter which stage I'm in, I'll fall in love with you."

I love the characters in this novel. The male insect, a stable, gentle, and slightly naive type from Earth, is the seme (dominant partner), while the female insect is tall, strong, loyal, and principled. The early scenes on the small planet were truly excellent; I personally enjoyed them.

It's a decent novel, but not as amazing as the reviews make it out to be, so I was slightly disappointed after clicking in. The following is a spoiler warning and personal thoughts on some plot points from the first fifty chapters: The initial part depicting the three personalities of the protagonist was quite endearing, but some parts after the third personality are rather controversial.

Ahhh, I thought Mr. Ji would refuse when his identity was exposed and Xiong Bao demanded to return to the main star. I know the other protagonist is on the main star, but I don't understand why he had to go to him. Before that, in Mr. Ji's memory, he said that there was no real freedom or rights there. But then Mr.
