(Two male leads + insectoid race + switches + both leads’ first and only love)
(Herta is a female insectoid at first and becomes a male insectoid later, so the romance is female-female at first, then female-male.)
He is a rabid dog who clawed his way up from the Lower District, and the most beautiful plaything in the general’s palm.
Herta has believed only one thing all his life: in this world where insects devour one another, power is the only thing you can truly hold on to.
The year his female parent died in battle, he was twelve. He took his six-year-old brother, who had a heart condition, and moved into a slum in the Lower District. He rummaged through trash cans, drank rainwater, and fought stray dogs for food.
To get his brother a heart donor, he took a bullet meant for a general on the battlefield. He won his gamble: the heart donor was secured, and his path to promotion laid out. The price was becoming entangled with that general.
Everett gave him everything, and took everything away. Herta didn’t hate him. He needed him.
Until a great battle, when Herta’s pheromones spiraled out of control and blanketed the entire battlefield.
He was not a female insectoid, nor an intersex insectoid.
He was the Saint of the Insectoid Race.
A being all insects were destined to worship.
But when the elders of White Tower Star bowed to him, when the male insectoid aristocrats who had once stood above everyone else pledged their loyalty to him, and when Everett appeared before him once more,
Herta stood at the very top and curled his lips into a smile. “Let’s make a deal!”
This is a melodramatic blurb, so take it with a grain of salt (lll￢ω￢)
