The Cannon Fodder Male Insect Strikes Back

Only after Phoenix died on an exile planet did he realize his family had used him as a pawn. All those years of affection had merely been a prelude to abandoning him.

But he was reborn!

This time, he wouldn't trust so-called family ties or care about his family. He wouldn't spare anyone who dared use him!

Of course, the one he couldn't possibly spare was his female lord, Leon.

Phoenix decided that this time, he'd find Leon early, bully him, torment him, and enjoy watching that Zerg female grit his teeth in frustration, unable to do a thing!

But could someone tell him why Leon was nowhere to be found on that dump of a planet?!

Where had his enormous female lord gone?!

*

Only after Leon died on an exile planet did he realize that those old schemers had played him for a fool. All that talk of rising through the ranks and having a bright future had been complete nonsense.

But he was reborn!

This time, he wouldn't repeat his past mistakes. He would rise to the top early and trample every highborn who had looked down on him and mocked him!

Of course, the one he most wanted to trample was his male lord, Phoenix.

Leon decided that this time, he'd marry Phoenix early, annoy him, mock him, and enjoy watching that male insect fume helplessly!

But could someone tell him why Phoenix was nowhere to be found at the Springhall family's matchmaking banquet?!

Where had his enormous male lord gone?!

Phoenix: "You're groveling, crude, irritable, and your brain is so smooth there's not a wrinkle in sight. But..."

Leon: "You're arrogant, stupid, mean, and your mind is as barren as a wasteland. But..."

Phoenix & Leon: "I won't leave you behind."

[Reader's Guide]

1. A male insect whose mouth is the hardest thing about him x an equally sharp-tongued female insect. Neither knows how to communicate properly, but they're a fake-enemies-to-lovers couple and a real sweet-love pair.

2. Both are reborn, but being reborn doesn't make you smarter. Don't expect two people who were idiots in their past lives to suddenly become clever. ╮( •́ω•̀ )╭
