Accidentally Meeting in Person After Signing a Contract with the Insect Emperor

Xie Dingyan (A Nuohe) woke up as an F-class male insect living in a run-down rental in a desolate star system.

Bad news: He has no source of income, and is surrounded by female insects who could kick him out of his rental at any moment.

Good news: He's been "kept."

A noble female insect made a marriage-of-convenience deal with him, paying him a large sum of star coins and providing him with a ticket to the Imperial Capital Star.

Their starship crashed in a dense forest. After escaping a ferocious beast, he ran into space pirates. Following one calamity after another, he met an interesting female insect.

The other was noble and aloof, sharp as a sword and rich as fine wine, so beautiful it was hard to tell whether they were male or female. Standing amid the bitter cold wind, they cut down a gigantic beast with a single stroke of their sword.

Xie Dingyan's envious gaze practically dripped from the corners of his mouth. Damn, that was cool!

Later, he discovered that this was his spouse in name only.

This female insect was a little strange. They climbed into his bed, yet online they coldly told him, "Sorry, Your Excellency. I don't think we need to keep in touch anymore."

As the Insect Emperor, Caster had spent years arranging marriages for other insects.

After a male insect underwent a second evolution and tested at an above-S level, countless female insects flocked to him.

This time, Caster no longer wanted to arrange a match for someone else. He only wanted to make the male insect at the center of the storm his own.

He kicked the contracted male insect aside, then used his authority to slip into Xie Dingyan's bed.

Xie Dingyan looked at the message on his terminal, then at the female insect turning amorous on top of him, and fell silent.

Bonus scene

Caster decided to talk in person with the contracted male insect who had been pestering him, to settle their separation once and for all. Hoping to make the male insect he was flirting with jealous, he sent invitations to both of them.

At the banquet, when Xie Dingyan was proposed to in front of everyone, he smiled and said, "I have a spouse, and they're all I need."

Caster couldn't help feeling disappointed. Then what were they? Lovers?

He was irritated, and when an insect asked, "Your Majesty, where is your consort?"

The usually composed and self-controlled Insect Emperor lost his temper in front of everyone for the first time. "I don't know!"

A clear male voice came from behind him. "Haven't I been right here the whole time?"

He turned his head, and a face of peerless beauty met his eyes. The male insect held two invitations between his slender fingertips.
