If you want to wipe out cockroaches completely, there seems to be only one way...
Add them to the menu.
That was the idea proposed by Zhizhu, a five-star chef.
And she put it into practice.
She fried them, boiled them, and roasted them, sparking a worldwide craze for eating cockroaches.
One day, as she fretted over a new flavor by the stove, she suddenly spotted a dazzling reddish-brown cockroach slowly crawling out from beneath the induction cooker.
At first glance, Zhizhu knew this one was different from the others.
The cockroach climbed to the edge of the pot, transformed into an adorable cockroach girl with twin tails, and cautiously took a bite of the cockroach noodles. “It would be even better with a little sugar,” she said.
Zhizhu was struck by inspiration.
After that, Zhizhu hired the cockroach girl as her taste tester, and the two began their everyday romance.

Reader advisory:
* A pure romance that goes no further than kissing (they might not even kiss)
* The cockroach girl is always only one finger joint in size (I'd be scared if she were human-sized)
* Aside from the protagonist (the cockroach girl) being able to turn into a human, this is a normal modern setting
