How Does a Female Insect Find a Wife?

Updating daily. Thanks for your support!

Blurb:

1. Green-tea, white-lotus female consort VS innocent and kindhearted blind female monarch

Behemoth is a con artist skilled at disguise. He sets his sights on an extremely wealthy count and successfully marries him as his female consort.

Just as he is plotting how to steal all the vulgar count’s treasures, a sky screen appears in midair, visible only to Behemoth.

It records how, after the female consort absconds with all the family’s wealth, the only one to offer the count his savings and encourage him to start over is the rejected female monarch, Mephistopheles.

Only after the count mends his ways and wins Mephistopheles’s heart again does he realize that the most precious jewel in the world has been in his arms all along.

Behemoth ponders this for a moment. That very night, he appears at Mephistopheles’s door and pleads pitifully:

“Your Majesty, could I...sleep with you?”

[The jewel says nothing, yet moves the heart more than any words could.]

2. Ill-tempered military female VS amnesiac, honest general

When Adrian returns from leave, he learns that his archrival has gotten into trouble. Not only has he been imprisoned by the male bug he was arranged to marry, he has also been stripped of his military authority.

As a rival, Adrian should be pleased, but instead he feels a strange anger...and pity.

Adrian has no idea what has gotten into him. By the time he comes to his senses, he has already infiltrated the North and brought back his gravely wounded, dying rival.

Just then, lines of text suddenly float before his eyes, saying that his rival is the protagonist of a story and that, in the future, his male spouse will have to grovel to win him back.

A trace of coldness appears on Adrian’s handsome face. If it’s going to be a “groveling-to-win-him-back” story, he’ll make sure that male bug gets what he deserves.

But Adrian never expected his rival to wake up with no memory, looking completely dazed.

I’ll have a little fun with him, Adrian decides, and says without hesitation:

“We’re partners.”

[You are the blade I forged, the rose I keep hidden in my heart.]

3. The moon shines high

Fourth Prince Isaiah doesn’t think life is worth much, but Angelo, the one from the temple, is interesting.

That female bug always has so many strange ideas and casually invents all sorts of toys. Even when facing the crown prince, he remains carefree and completely unlike an official of the clergy.

Isaiah likes him, even though he was forced to marry his eldest brother and take the royal family’s surname.

So Isaiah schemes carefully. He bribes a civilian con artist to seduce the crown prince, making him neglect his consort, while secretly building up his own strength, until

Angelo, who doesn’t fit in at the palace, is stripped of his position on trumped-up charges. At last, Isaiah makes his move.

“Your Highness, I will grant you supreme power.”

Who says a female bug emperor can’t marry a female bug empress?

[He will lift the fallen moon out of the mud and raise it high once more.]

4. Gifted female bug boss VS honest, mild-mannered, cuckolded male subordinate

Chiriel doesn’t like the new male bug employee!

He’s timid, slow-witted, and mild-mannered. Whatever he does, he somehow manages to stir Chiriel’s anger.

He’s also a fool, completely under his female monarch’s thumb, and still thinks it’s true love.

Luckily, Chiriel catches on in time, and before long the fool is divorced. Chiriel won’t let this opportunity slip away. After using every trick in the book, he successfully wins the foolish male bug over.

Only on their wedding night does the male bug finally realize what’s going on. “Wait, I’m a male bug. I shouldn’t be the one who...”

Chiriel: “Too late to regret it now.”

[When your heart is laid bare, you see the traces of love.]

A mysterious group chat of four bugs who steal each other’s partners:

[Behemoth: How did you know my female monarch personally cooked for me again? He can’t see well, but he never listens no matter what I say. It’s driving me crazy!]

[Adrian: What are you babbling about?]

[Isaiah: Nobody asked.]

[Chiriel: I can’t talk to you, you’re all in female-female relationships. Anyway, I’m always annoyed by that new male bug employee. What’s up with that?]

[Behemoth: You’ve fallen for him, obviously.]

[Chiriel: No way. Absolutely not!]

1. “The jewel says nothing, yet moves the heart more than any words could” is from Shakespeare.

2. Top’s point of view. All the protagonists are female tops.

3. One-on-one, both are each other’s only partner. The bugs aren’t perfect, and this time they’re all locals.

4. The setting is fictional and has nothing to do with reality. Please don’t draw parallels.

The next book is The Devilish Streamer’s Live Redemption

Blurb:

Even while still in testing, One Step to Immortality has already become the most popular game online.

Jiang Peiyuan, a streamer for the game, has attracted plenty of attention too. He stands out from the crowd by exploiting every game bug he can find.

Other streamers: Join a sect, pass the tests, cultivate and level up. Steady progress!

Jiang Peiyuan: Cultivate demonic arts, join the demon sect, kill people and steal treasures. Evil cultivation is awesome!

He even forcibly saves Nian Yu, a sect servant who was supposed to die, and takes him along when he defects from the sect.

Every day, the audience in the livestream finds its entertainment in watching Jiang Peiyuan and the little brat Nian Yu flee and kill their way forward.

Unfortunately, he is soon punished by the reputation System and besieged by countless NPCs. With defeat and death imminent, Jiang Peiyuan exploits a game bug to activate the demon race’s restriction and trigger a total-wipe ending, earning the achievement [World-Destroying Demon Lord].

The audience in the livestream floods the chat with “66666.”

Jiang Peiyuan, who has earned his fame without lifting a finger, calmly ends the stream. But when he wakes up, he has transmigrated into the game One Step to Immortality and been bound to a livestream System. The only way out is to unlock the true ending.

Good news: “The little brat I raised, Nian Yu, found me, and he remembers his first playthrough.”

Bad news: “There’s something very off about the way the little brat looks at me.”

And the clueless chat comments: [A childhood-raised couple is the best. I love it.]

From the moment Xiao Nian could remember, he knew he was the filth on the ground: lowly, worthless, and hated by everyone.

But one day, that immortal, as bright and clear as the moon, saved him from being bullied to death by inner-sect disciples, and paid a terrible price for it.

Having entered the demonic path, he called his benefactor “Master.”

His Master gave him a new name, secret manuals, and magical artifacts... They depended on each other. When his Master was forced to his death, Nian Yu vowed to make the righteous immortals pay with their lives.

After everything came to an end, he returned to the very beginning.

His Master was back, just as before, and yet somehow different.

Jiang Peiyuan: Xiao Nian, you have to be your own master! Don’t let yourself be ruled by others!

Nian Yu: Okay.

Jiang Peiyuan: Why are you riding me?!

Nian Yu: ...

Reader’s guide:

1. One-on-one, both are each other’s only partner. Told from the top’s point of view.

2. The bottom initially has no sense of right and wrong, and suffers from severe separation anxiety after losing the top in his first playthrough.

3. They save and heal each other.

Theme: Opportunity favors those who are always prepared
