Wei Jing had transmigrated to the continent of Tokalan ten years ago. He was infamous, with everyone baying for his blood.
He desperately needed somewhere to stay, and just then, the Lord of Aradir posted an advertisement seeking a great mage skilled at drawing magic arrays. An ice mage was preferred. Pay negotiable, far above the going rate.
Perfect. This is the one.
Disguised, he rushed to Aradir, only to find the steward scolding the clerk:
“That advertisement is an insult to mages! Even the most third-rate mage wouldn’t come running after seeing that thing. That spot was supposed to be for hiring a cleaner!”
Third-rate mage Wei Jing stopped dead. After agonizing over it, he decided that cleaning would do, too!
He revealed himself, his robes flowing elegantly as he stepped forward with graceful poise.
“I’m here to apply for the cleaning job.”
The steward stared in shock. “The castle doesn’t need a cleaner right now.”
Wei Jing put on an earnest expression. “...I can do anything.”
Two years ago, the Lord of Aradir had fought ten thousand enemies single-handedly and been gravely wounded in a battle to defend his territory. The territory’s magic arrays were damaged, and their protective power had been weakening ever since. The lord withdrew further and further from the world, and the continent of Tokalan stopped singing his praises.
Wei Jing moved into Aradir Castle. He wiped the windows in the morning and mopped the floors at night, making the castle sparkle. Thanks to his diligent work ethic and warm, easygoing manner, he earned everyone’s approval.
At last, on a dark and windy night, while the great mage Wei Jing was mopping the floor, a low voice sounded behind him, edged with a suppressed pant:
“So you’re the little fellow who said he’d do anything...?”
Wei Jing immediately turned and bowed deeply. “Yes, my lord.”
“You have nowhere else to go. Aradir is the only place that can take you in.”
Wei Jing nodded vigorously. “Yes, my lord!”
“So you know how to keep your mouth shut. You won’t reveal any secrets.”
“Yes, my lord.”
“Come here. I need you to help me with something.”
A tall figure emerged from the darkness and led Wei Jing to his lavish bedroom, then to his spacious bed. His husky voice was charged with an unusual heat.
“Have you ever heard of egg-laying season?”
Wei Jing: ...????
After securing the position of Aradir’s chief mage, Wei Jing connected with his old home on Earth, asking for money, supplies, and people. He took up farming, built roads and cities, opened trade routes...
With one hand, he built up the territory; with the other, he looked after the lord’s health. Fueled by faith, one day he would make the gods pay.
Territory-building in the early part, romance later on.
Gentle, scheming “mage” seme VS devoted, domineering female-insect lord uke.
That’s right, my insects lay unfertilized eggs. That’s the kind of play this is.
Content warnings:
1. The seme absolutely dotes on the uke, and the uke dotes on the seme, too. This is a damn pure-love couple story. If you come here yapping about the seme doting on the uke, or complaining that the couple’s love is messed up, please roll on out of here. I’ll delete your comments, seriously.
2. The seme’s perspective is just the story’s point of entry. It doesn’t mean there won’t be any uke perspective. That may change as the plot develops, though I don’t yet know how much.
3. Extreme fans of either role should stay away.
4. There’s an insectoid-race setting, but it’s a real hodgepodge. The main setting is this magical continent. There’s lots of territory-building early on and lots of romance later.
5. This isn’t a typical Western fantasy novel.
6. I haven’t planned any sexual behavior before the leads meet. If you’re wondering whether they’re pure, my protagonists are spotless and chaste. Thank you.
7. I’ll say more if I think of anything. Also, the protagonists aren’t perfect. If you dislike their behavior or character, you can simply leave. I sincerely hope you find a novel you love online.
8. Lastly, don’t insult people. Thanks.
Theme: On barren land, even ordinary people can defy fate
Gu Kaiya is like the Queen Mother who wants to break up Xiao Sa Fairy and MSG Cowherd [laughing and crying] [laughing and crying]
I just saw someone complaining about the wrong channel in the review. I checked the definition and hope the other party can see it! [Glasses] The social system of this book is a feudal lordship, an agricultural society, and there is no modern industrial civilization, so even if there are magic elements, it is very suitable to be classified as ancient pure love; it is obviously not a modern background, and there is no future fantasy pure love setting such as interstellar, universe, spaceship, etc., So the channel is very suitable [Spread Flowers]
Don't hate Gu, he is just traditional and old-fashioned, but very loyal. [Loading] He got to know the lord first, and it was obvious that the lord couldn't handle MSG, so it was normal for him to be worried. And in his eyes, the lord is a man...
It's the sweet love in infrastructure stories that makes people blush. CP fans of MSG and Lords must learn to dialectically find the main aspects in conflicts. The infrastructure in love stories may be a bit boring, but the love in infrastructure stories is sweet [dog head]
Although Gu is old-fashioned, he is still very loyal. I really like to see him break through the defense. Hehehehe [Three Flower Cat Head]
[Pushing open the door and looking around] Who is it? Who reported it?
[Grabs the collar] Are you the one who reported it?
[Pick it up and throw it out] If it doesn't suit your taste, click back. If it doesn't work, just write it yourself. You have eyes and fingers and you can't use them? Why report other people's food? ! !
Don't pay attention to these people, you write so well, these people are just inexplicable [crying]
Received review and submitted. Madam, please keep writing. If you keep getting complaints or chasing bad reviews, it may be hyb, which means that the young author has the potential to become popular. (I have been reading literature in Jinjiang for more than ten years, believe me)
I have complained again, forget about other things, is it still unclear whether the author is ancient or modern?
After receiving the review, I understood what the author said [helpless]
I love to see infrastructure, my wife writes what she wants [please][please][please][please]
