A Korean Manhwa Villain Transmigrates into a Delicate Male Insect

Yin Shengheok was once the doomed second male lead in a melodramatic Korean webtoon. He died twice.

The first time, he was shot and killed while saving the webtoon's protagonist. After death, he transmigrated into the insectoid empire as Saint Mill, the beloved fifth prince and a male insect.

Before transmigrating, he was 188 centimeters tall, built like a double-door refrigerator, with slicked-back hair and a thermos.

He came from a wealthy family, but had an unhappy childhood and a gang of underlings in black suits.

His signature line: "Aish, you can't get away from me!"

After transmigrating, he was 178 centimeters tall, with skin so pale it seemed to glow.

He put on sunscreen every day, drank health teas, and had his sub-female attendants chasing after him to put on more layers.

His father was the Emperor of Insects, his mother was a Marshal, and his older brother and sister-in-law doted on him.

His signature line: "Ahem... I'm not frail!"

As a child, Saint Mill met two impoverished reserve military females at a charity event organized by the Lovebug Society, themed around "helping one another and spreading kindness." One was named Meister, the other Ax.

Meister seemed delicate and weepy, with a tragic past. He was almost identical to the protagonist of the Korean webtoon Saint Mill had known in his previous life.

Ax was aloof, sharp-tongued, and rebellious, and he and Saint Mill clearly did not get along.

Without hesitation, Saint Mill chose to bring poor Meister to his side, sponsor his military academy education, and pave his way into the army.

To his surprise, Meister joined forces with the fugitive Second Prince to frame Saint Mill for treason.

Before the frail Saint Mill could even fight back, he died unjustly in the imperial prison!

Reborn, Saint Mill took a hard look at his mistakes and decided to devote himself to supporting his Fourth Imperial Brother. He chose to sponsor Ax, who had greater potential to become a military female general in the future.

For a time, Ax thought that all his sharp edges and ambitions would slowly be swallowed by poverty in the empire's slums.

In his previous life, he failed to save his prince. But in this life...

That delicate, noble male insect had actually chosen him!

The prince knew from his previous life that military females with too much ambition could be excessively ruthless.

But what if you were part of that ambition?

1. This is a fictional setting with no connection to reality. Please do not conflate the two.

2. Males are revered and females are subordinate. Females are powerful and fierce, while males have pheromones and mental control.

3. Everything is governed by rank and strength. Those with the highest SSS rank look down on everything.

4. There are lots of personal worldbuilding choices. Please bear with me.

5. This is not written to favor either the pursuer or the pursued. All inequality in the insectoid world is wrong and deserves criticism. The story champions peace, harmony, friendship, equality, and mutual aid.
