When Xinxi Aimeier was nineteen, he married Feizipo, a newly prominent man of humble origins who was then an imperial diplomat.
Feizipo came from a lowly background, but he was steady and modest, and treated Xinxi very well.
But Xinxi always found his male spouse dreadfully dull. He was usually so meek and honest, and aside from in bed, he didn't act like a male insect at all.
Their days passed quietly. They had a little insect child, whom Xinxi took care of, and their married life was as placid as stagnant water.
Then one day, Xinxi had a dream.
In the dream, his honest husband was the protagonist. He saw how his usually timid, submissive male spouse, who wouldn't even change expression when Xinxi slapped him, endured things for ten years, climbing step by step from a poor scholar to a diplomat. Then he used his marriage alliance with the Aimeier family, exploiting their political assets to topple his enemies, before stepping on the Aimeier family to become the youngest prime minister in the empire.
In the midst of all this was a passionate tale of love and hate. Feizipo and An Luer, an imperial spy and a female insect disguised as a male, fought and loved each other. From enemies they became kindred spirits, and in the end they found each other, achieving success in both love and career.
In the dream, Xinxi was the vicious male who was hopelessly devoted to Feizipo and refused to break up even if it killed him. He even tried to blackmail Feizipo with photos. In the end, he was ruined, and his male parent, Meixiu, was implicated too and forced to resign from the Senate.
After waking, Xinxi looked at Feizipo, who had just gotten out of bed. Unable to hold back any longer, he raised a hand and slapped him, feeling both angry and aggrieved, then announced, "I want a divorce!"

After transmigrating to this planet inhabited only by female and male insects, Feizipo took quite a while to adjust.
As a straight man from Earth, he had no interest in males. But after weighing his options for a long time as he climbed the ranks, he married the Aimeier family's young male, using the family's political assets to pave his way.
He was good at enduring things and had already made up his mind. He would not mistreat Xinxi Aimeier, but he would not fall for him either.
But Xinxi Aimeier was the textbook example of a spoiled brat raised on affection: nasty and domineering, constantly hitting people. It didn't hurt, but he was still a handful, just like the pampered young ladies in Earth TV dramas.
Even Feizipo could barely handle him. He suppressed his revulsion at being humiliated and resolved to divorce Xinxi once he had finished using the Aimeier family.
But after a few years, they had a child, and Feizipo's attitude shifted from wanting a divorce to reluctantly making things work. Later, as their child grew up, he began to think that things weren't so bad after all, because he believed no one but him could put up with this pampered young male.
It felt pretty good to have his wife look after their child while he worked hard outside to support the family. In this unfamiliar land, Feizipo found a sense of home in the young male. Xinxi Aimeier became his anchor in this world.
But one morning, just after getting out of bed and preparing to give his wife the usual good-morning kiss, he was caught off guard by a slap. Then he saw his teary-eyed young male, his voice breaking as he said, "I want a divorce!"
Feizipo: ?
What is it now, my young lady?
-
At first, Feizipo thought Xinxi was just throwing another tantrum like usual and that a little coaxing would fix things. But then he realized his simple, spoiled young male was genuinely set on getting divorced, willing to give up everything he had.
Who had led his young male astray? Feizipo thought grimly.
A spoiled, hot-tempered good-for-nothing young lady on top X An honest, patient, ruthless bottom
1. When they first married, the bottom really was ruthless and patient. Later, he fell in love for real, but the top had nothing in his head and didn't care, so he never noticed the bottom's change in attitude and always thought he was a meek, honest man.
2. In a future world with technological reproduction, the top takes care of the child. The top is a useless little sweetheart, and they will divorce and remarry. The bottom has very little sense of morality, is good at enduring things, and is ruthless and suspicious. Many, many personal preferences are built into this story, so please take note.
3. The bottom gets the patient, overpowered hero and marriage-before-love plots, while the top gets the childcare-and-divorce plot.
