After Faking His Death, the Imperial Marshal Went Mad

Hill was born frail and unable to use his legs. He could only live within the Holy City while growing up.

Then, when he was thirteen, the Holy City was attacked by star beasts. Unable to move his legs, he collapsed in despair and waited for death to come.

As he lay dying, a powerful, agile female insect descended from the sky. Her pitch-black bone wings blotted out the sun as she rescued him from certain doom. In an instant, it was as if the heavens had collapsed and a flood had swallowed the world.

That female insect was Selt, who would later become a marshal.

The emotionless male insect heard his dying heart give a faint beat.

After that, Hill worked tirelessly to treat his illness and rehabilitate himself. But before he came of age, he heard that Marshal Selt had become engaged to his older brother.

His brother did not want to marry the forceful, cold-hearted military female insect. He kept putting off the wedding, hoping to wear her down, so the marshal had no choice but to secretly recruit a male insect to provide her with pheromones.

Hill concealed his identity and offered himself to her. He stayed by Marshal Selt's side when she lost control and transformed into an insect, and worried about her during her expeditions. He willingly gave her everything he had.

He thought he could win Selt's true affection.

Later, during his coming-of-age period, just as he was about to fail his evolution and die, their faces close together and her about to mark him, Selt's icy hand closed around his throat.

"There can never be a male insect like you in this world. Who sent you? Confess, and you may have a chance to live. Resist, and you will be destroyed at once."

Hill pressed the self-destruct button himself.

On the sixtieth day after Hill's death, Selt destroyed the research institute developing pheromone suppressants. This ambitious marshal, who despised male insects, asked the researchers:

"Is there technology to clone a male insect?"

A researcher answered, "We can replicate the body, however complex it may be, but not the heart."

There will never again be a male insect in this world who loves you so much he would brave fire and water for you, giving everything without a second thought.

He had lost him forever.

The bottom is very, very strong, top-tier in combat strength. A strong bottom. The top is a male insect, a little prince who has secretly loved the marshal since childhood out of gratitude for being saved. A handsome top, a great beauty. After he gives up on love, he has a bit of a sickly beauty vibe.

Early on, the top is completely devoted to the bottom, willingly becoming his older brother's secret lover and little kept pet. Later, the bottom dotes on him and is intensely possessive.

Lots of kinks. There's a groveling arc in the middle, and the top becomes a sickly beauty later on. It has a happy ending. Overall, it's a love story about a couple. If you need a content warning, I have weird tastes, so please go easy on me.

"The Corrupted Scum Top Returns"

There is a kind of story in which the protagonist suffers betrayal, abuse, and oppression, then returns it a hundredfold. These are commonly called corruption stories.

Chu Han is the scum top in one such story: he deceives the protagonist for money and affection, tramples on him, abuses and torments him, and is ultimately brought to justice.

Then one day, Chu Han is suddenly thrown back to save the world.

Because the protagonist of the corruption story committed suicide for him and took the world down with him.

Chu Han: Wait, nobody said I'd come back when I was being a scumbag!

Ancient setting

Chu Han is an ambitious fake eunuch. After ten years of careful scheming, he poisons the emperor who favors him, puts a three-year-old child with an intellectual disability on the throne, and is just about to seize power and run the court tyrannically when, with a pop, he is sent back.

Chu Han: What year is it? Where is my beloved emperor?

System: You just poisoned the emperor. He's in his coffin, with only one breath left, preparing to crawl out and have you torn apart by chariots.

Chu Han: What?! Your Majesty, please hear me out!

The emperor, the bottom, crawls out of the coffin with a sinister look. His bloodstained index finger grips the bewitching beauty's chin, and he speaks in a low, menacing voice: "Well, well, Eunuch, explain yourself to me."

When false seems true and true seems false: a heartless scum top versus a sinister, lovesick, corrupted bottom

Theme: Cherish the present, stay true to your original self, and love healthily!
