World One: A cowardly, incompetent top who loves to play around x a seemingly gentle but truly obsessive, devoted bottom
Herr is a D-rank male bug, selfish and vain. To live the same life of luxury and indulgence as the nobles, he seduces a high-ranking female bug.
She is a very foolish female bug: high in rank, but lacking in guile. Every day, all she does is smile at him with her eyes curved into crescents.
A few sweet words are enough to leave her completely besotted. She obediently hands over all her money and even takes jobs everywhere to support him.
Herr knows the female bug likes him and wants to marry him.
But to Herr, she has no prestigious background, and she is far too pretty-boyish to be his type.
Herr only wants to keep this long-term meal ticket around, so he tells her, "Once you join the military and have a stable position, we'll get married."
A year later, the female bug clears her name and joins the military. Within three months, she rises two ranks, leaping straight from sergeant to major.
By then, Herr is looking for a powerful patron, so he immediately goes back on his word. "Your job isn't stable yet. Once you make major general, we'll get married."
Three years later, the female bug becomes the youngest major general in the empire.
Herr still hasn't found a powerful patron, and he starts to panic. So he says again, "Let's wait until you become a general before we get married."
Another five years pass, and the Bug Emperor exceptionally promotes the female bug to general.
The female bug is rising too fast and pressing him too hard. With his meal ticket about to disappear, Herr goes back on his word once again. "When you become marshal, I'll accept your proposal right away."
Over these ten years, Herr flirts around everywhere, never noticing the smile on the female bug's face growing colder and her disposition growing darker.
After he had said "Once you become... I'll marry you" who knows how many times, the female bug locked him up.
Only then does Herr realize that all her previous meekness was an act. The female bug is actually petty and vindictive, an absolute lunatic!
She chains him to the bed, forbids him from seeing any other bugs, controls every aspect of his life, and "torments" him mercilessly every night.
He thought he would have to live in fear like this for the rest of his life. But one day, he opens his eyes and finds himself back ten years in the past, on the day before he was locked away.
"Darling, will you be my husband?"
Looking at that familiar face, wearing a fake smile while a storm gathers in her eyes, Herr's legs give way. He nearly falls to his knees. "I'll marry you, I'll marry you!"
Jianuo: "...?"
Interesting. Let's see how long you can keep up the act.

World Two: A silver-tongued space pirate top x a cool, old-fashioned major general bottom
Lujia is a male bug, and a space pirate.
He used to live carefree and happily, but everything changed when the insect race sent a new major general to guard the border.
The female bug is high-ranking and capable, with a cool, aloof face. Her uniform is always buttoned meticulously to the top, and in battle she is fierce and ruthless.
Within six months of her arrival at the border, the former biggest pirate crew there is on the brink of being wiped out. Their supplies are plundered, his men are killed, and Lujia himself almost gets captured.
A warrior would rather die than be humiliated. As the leader of the pirate crew, Lujia challenges her to a decisive battle.
Unexpectedly, during the fight, the two bugs are swept into a black hole.
The bad news is that they are transported to a deserted, primitive planet.
The good news is that the high-and-mighty female bug has suffered a head injury and lost her memory.
Before killing her, Lujia decides to humiliate and get revenge on her properly.
So he takes advantage of being a male bug, coaxing her into pledging herself to him for life. With her head injured, she believes everything he says. He tricks her into giving him her body and heart, and she even ends up carrying an egg.
Before long, the insect army finds them. With the truth about to come out, Lujia abandons the female bug, who has just given birth, and flees overnight with the egg.
However, the female bug is actually the empire's most doted-on seventh prince. After an almost frenzied search, Lujia's time as a single father doesn't last long. He is captured along with the child.
When they meet again, his soft, sweet, easily embarrassed wife has changed completely. She has become fierce and cold. She locks him up and feeds him oranges every day.
He thought this was how he would spend the rest of his life, but through an unexpected twist, Lujia returns to the first year of his escape.
Thinking of the miserable life awaiting him, Lujia decides to come clean and promptly turns himself in with the kid.
"Darling, if I say I was actually kidnapped by space pirates and didn't mean to run away, will you believe me?"
Xueyin: "...?"
Ha! Like hell I believe you.

World Three: A needy, fiery top x a childish, schoolboyish grim reaper bottom
Shian and his wife were married for political reasons. He didn't like her at all.
Osilde looked fierce, had a fierce personality, and teased and scared him every day. Shian found her annoying.
They had been married for seven years, and he had not been happy for a single moment. All he wanted was to get away.
But his wife held a high-ranking position and had great influence. She also cared deeply about appearances, so divorce was absolutely out of the question.
During a battle, the female bug was severely wounded on the battlefield, nearly left disabled. Overnight, she fell from the heights into the mire.
Shian seized the opportunity without a moment's hesitation, left her the divorce papers, and returned to his family home.
But the male bug who had promised to love him properly showed his true colors once Shian returned. He not only stole the money Shian had brought from his wife, but also turned around and tried to send him to the Breeding Tower.
Shian ran away, but had nowhere to go. He was forced to hide like a little mouse.
After several difficult years of scraping by, his wife found him and took him home.
His wife had even more influence than before, but for some reason, she wasn't as fierce as she used to be.
She locked him up and forbade him from seeing any other bugs, yet took meticulous care of him and tenderly kissed every one of his wounds.
Shian didn't understand, and before he could figure it out, he died of an illness.
Just before he closed his eyes, he heard his wife say she loved him.
Shian thought it was ridiculous.
She teased him like a demon every day and couldn't speak properly despite having a mouth, yet she dared to say she loved him.
Shian thought that if he could have another chance, he would teach her how to be a proper bug.
When he opened his eyes again, Shian had returned to the time just after the divorce.
Looking at the ugly faces of the bugs in his family, Shian promptly picked up his little bundle and went back to find his former wife.
At the time, the female bug had red eyes. Her whole body seemed to beg him to stay, but she still shouted viciously, "You coldhearted, unfeeling male bug! What did you come back for? I'll never forgive you. I'll never let you off!"
Shian extended a tentacle of mental energy and whipped the female bug's wheelchair into a spinning top. "Then I'll kill you right now!"
Osilde: "?"
Ber, how can you bully a disabled bug??
