Insect God Above: This Man of the Insectoid Race Comes from Earth

[Set in a fictional world. It has nothing to do with reality, so please don't draw real-world comparisons.]

Tens of millions of light-years from Earth, on a planet yet undiscovered by humanity, a high-tech civilization has quietly flourished for a million years.

This species, which reveres strength and reproduction above all, divides its population into male bugs, sub-females, and female bugs. They call themselves the children of the Bug God, and have developed a unique bug culture.

They are uninhibited and blunt, and their society is divided by an extremely rigid hierarchy.

After a wingsuit-flying accident, Zhou Huairen passes through a mysterious black hole and lands on a garbage planet where the bugs exile criminals.

This playboy, who has always thrived in romance and never been picky about his partners, meets Alistair, a former Imperial Legion commander. Framed, stripped of his wings, and exiled to the garbage planet, Alistair has lost his freedom.

By then, Alistair has lost his memory after enduring one torment after another. He is as innocent and childlike as a little boy. Naturally drawn to Zhou Huairen, whose biological traits closely resemble those of a male bug, Alistair's instinct to survive leads him to regard Zhou Huairen as his own and try to keep him confined by his side.

Zhou Huairen's assessment of Alistair: horny and dumb.

Their friendly relationship starts with sex.

Because Zhou Huairen is a male-bug lookalike, the two soon return to the home planet. Alistair also manages to regain his freedom, more or less. However, the plot against Alistair's life, set in motion by the mastermind who framed him, is still unfolding in secret. Behind the glamorous life on the home planet, bloody murders targeting high-ranking bugs are taking place one after another.

How will Zhou Huairen and Alistair face what's coming?

1. A licentious, roguishly handsome top who flirts with everyone without restraint x a bottom who's uninhibited and horny while amnesiac, then restrained and aloof after regaining his memories.

2. Content warning: The top is not a virgin. The bottom is! The bottom is! The bottom is!

3. The top casually flirts with people, especially beautiful ones, because he's used to being a playboy, not because he's in love. This story is 1v1 from beginning to end.

4. Written to satisfy my own tastes. I've been craving a bug-people setting for a long time. My personal preferences. I especially love the setup of a handsome, battered military male bug being saved.

5. The content warnings may not cover everything. If you can't keep reading, feel free to quit.

6. I'll try to update daily from Monday to Friday, but can't guarantee it. I'll revise on weekends, and there may be major changes. If you're following the story, I recommend reading it on Sunday nights.

A Taoist master, guiding father-figure top x a gloomy, good-for-nothing bottom with a sharp tongue and a clever streak

Past and present lives.

When Lin Baoyuan was born, a limping Taoist priest barged into the maternity ward and said that his birth chart was yin, and that he was born to attract ghosts. The priest gave him a smooth, lustrous jade Buddha pendant and insisted he wear it from childhood without ever taking it off.

By the time Lin Baoyuan is twenty-six, he has never encountered a ghost, but his life has been full of misfortune. Something always goes wrong right before a major milestone. He gets diarrhea before his middle school entrance exams, breaks a leg before the college entrance exams, and graduates from a useless Chinese department just in time to run into an economic downturn, making it impossible to find a job. He has no choice but to work as a delivery rider and freelance writer to scrape by.

His neighbor, Zhou Qinghe, is his biggest benefactor. Zhou Qinghe bought him the electric scooter he uses to deliver food. Lin Baoyuan is twenty-six, and they've been neighbors for all twenty-six years. Zhou Qinghe has raised him from childhood in place of his unreliable parents.

He calls him Uncle Zhou.

But when Lin was in sixth grade, Uncle Zhou was in his prime, a handsome man in his early thirties. Now Lin is twenty-six, and Uncle Zhou is still in his prime, looking like a young man in his early thirties.

Lin Baoyuan: ??? Am I the only one who finds this weird?

One day, Baoyuan gets a delivery order to an unfinished villa in the suburbs. In the eerie, abandoned garden, his jade Buddha pendant shatters to pieces.

From then on, ghosts and monsters surround Lin Baoyuan, and danger lurks at every turn. To stay alive, he can only cling desperately to Uncle Zhou.

Thesis: Good people deserve good things.
