The Green Tea Top Streams Lessons to the Insectoid Race

Ian was famous far and wide as a master of "tea tactics." He brewed the perfect cup of green tea, used his older brother as a comma in his daily routine, and broke up countless couples.

He was suddenly transported into an insectoid novel, becoming a low-ranking male insect in a remote star system who was disguised as a female. Faced with the original owner's massive debts and the System's angst-romance objectives, Ian didn't panic in the slightest. He picked up his tea-brewing career again with practiced ease.

Before long, a relationship advice livestream burst onto the scene, standing out amid the popular combat-related topics.

It all started with a trending post: A C-rank male insect had tipped a million in the stream, declaring, "He understands me so well!"

Female insect netizens passing by: ???

Where did this flashy little homewrecker come from?

Male insect netizens passing by: Oh my god! This is like finding a kindred spirit I never knew I had. He understands me so well!

With his excellent tea-brewing skills, Ian not only paid off his debts with ease, but also became a confidant to countless male insects and successfully grew closer to the male lead.

But why was the Male Insect Protection Association accusing me of manipulating male insects' feelings and swindling money from their lordships???

The male insects who had fallen head over heels for the streamer: What? The MPA wants to arrest my kindred spirit? No way! I gave him my money of my own free will!

The female insects who had witnessed everything, learned to hang around the stream for their lordships, and quietly tipped: I used to scoff at this. Now I'm learning every word from the streamer!

"I just worry about big brother."

"You're so amazing, big brother. You'll protect me, right?"

With one tea-laced line after another, Ian somehow turned a species that struggled to express its feelings into one that filled the land with the fragrance of tea.

Every insect in Ian's livestream naturally assumed that the top tipper was a mysterious high-ranking male insect lord.

He had more money than he knew what to do with, and tipped lavishly. He was taciturn and aloof. He was the streamer's biggest fan.

They were bound to get married in the end. No female insect could remain unmoved by such an ostentatious display of affection from a male insect, and surely the streamer was no exception.

But when news really broke that the streamer and the top tipper were getting married, the Star Network exploded.

Female insects: What? You're saying that this gentle, charming, emotionally intelligent, popular-with-male-insects streamer, who seems like an amiable female, is actually a male insect lord?!

You're being deceived, streamer! Did that general use his power to threaten you? Nathaniel, let go of my husband!

Male insects: Oh, that's normal. I knew an insect who understands me so well had to be my twin brother, even if we're not blood-related! We're even the same sex!

Holy crap, brother, you're such a gentle insect. Don't do something you'll regret and marry a military female who only knows how to fight! Aaaaaah!

The general, known to all insects as a killer who knew nothing of love, read the breakup pleas on the Star Network. The veins on the back of his hand bulged. He lowered his eyes toward the male insect beside him and said awkwardly, "My lord treats me so well. Your fans must be jealous, right? If it's you, I don't mind if you're a little mean to me."

Ian: ...Is this the top tipper's ability to learn from watching the stream from beginning to end? Terrifying ^^

In his previous life, the top worked helping people who wanted to break up but couldn't shift their partner's attention elsewhere, sort of like a breakup specialist (?).

The top is very good at tea tactics. The bottom gets hooked, thinking the top likes tea-loving partners. The aloof general studies tea tactics online.

As always, it's a sweet little romance. If you're interested, please bookmark it!

I'm still terrible at naming things, so I may change the title before I start posting.
