This novel will be available for purchase on September 25. Your support is welcome!

Insect-mother-centric

Set in an entirely fictional world with no connection to reality. Please do not draw parallels with real life.

[Blurb]:

Hypocritical, greedy, and obsessed with fame and fortune. That was how almost everyone who knew Wenxi Puenxi described him.

Wenxi was quite happy to accept the description.

His lifelong goal was to climb to the peak of power, then look down on the people he despised. He was willing to pay any price to achieve it.

Yet many years later, Wenxi regretted it.

He lay in a nest carefully built by his children, his abdomen swollen high. His whole body trembled, and his skin had turned an unnatural red.

Worker insects fluttered their scaly wings in the corner, waiting for Wenxi to lay another batch of glistening, slick eggs.

He wished he had never set foot on that so-called barren planet.

"What more could you possibly be unhappy about?"

An insect wearing an exquisite human face drew the pale, frail insect mother into its arms and tenderly kissed his forehead.

That was his husband.

One of them.

"Isn't this exactly what you've wanted all your life?"

"To become the center of power, looked up to by all your subjects..."

"So stay."

"We all love you."

"And we're the only ones who will love you with all our hearts."

"No... You can't do this to me..."

He saw a rotting corpse covered in moss and all kinds of little white flowers he couldn't identify. A cloud of butterflies burst out of it.

[Reader's Guide/Warnings]:

1. Insect-mother-centric. All the insects love their mother, but the top is fixed, and he is not related by blood to the bottom.

2. The bottom is actually quite tall, at 180 cm, but still too small compared with the insects.

3. There are some weird political systems, all made up by me. Everything serves the plot and has no relation to reality.

4. Neither the top nor the bottom is perfect. But if their character leaves something to be desired, we can make up for it with pretty faces (just kidding).

5. Very strong wall-paper-love elements.

6. Includes a refined, well-spoken, mentally ill and disabled regent top; a loyal, considerate, multiple-personality aide top; and a sweet, clingy, scheming butterfly top who competes for affection... Temporarily one-on-one.

Here's the blurb for another novel with a similar theme, The Wicked Beauty Becomes a Monster's Mother [Insect Mother]. It's available for pre-order, so please add it to your favorites!

Mad-scientist insect top who is a pathological experiment subject x bottom who fears death, deserves what he gets, and later becomes a housewife

Set in an entirely fictional world with no connection to reality. Please do not draw parallels with real life.

[Blurb]:

Duke Nielan Hememea is one of the Empire's most famous figures. Not only is he young, handsome, gentle, and refined, but he also thrives in the political arena. He is the dream lover of countless women.

Then one day he lost a political battle, and the respectable facade was torn away. People discovered that he was a complete monster.

Countless outstanding imperial officials had died after Nielan framed them to satisfy his own selfish desires, and a great deal of the national treasury had found its way into his pockets.

Worse and more horrifying still, he had a "private breeding farm."

It was home to countless monsters, hybrids bred by combining human and alien insect genes, whose hideous appearance would drive an ordinary person mad at a glance.

The brutal, inhumane experiments horrified countless people, and the whole Empire demanded that this detestable criminal be tortured and punished severely.

But when the Empire's new ruler led an army into the duke's estate, they found it deserted, and the breeding farm was empty too.

In the depths beneath the Empire, unknown to anyone, endless darkness shrouded the land at all times.

A monster gripped the man by the nape and kissed him from above.

"What a pathetic sight."

"My lord, you are gravely ill and will die soon."

"Do you want to live?"

"You know very well that the larvae's blood can save you."

"But they've blown up the laboratory..."

Nielan understood what the monster meant.

To survive, he swallowed his humiliation and tremblingly wrapped his arms around the monster's neck.

"Ephitis, please..."

"Good boy."

"Keep atoning like this."

"As your reward, you may live forever."

The monster imprisoned Nielan.

It looked forward to this death-fearing man breeding a great underground kingdom for it.

[Reader's Guide/Warnings]:

1. Both are each other's only partners, one-on-one, happy ending.

2. Neither starts out as a good person. The top is a little more decent, but not by much. The bottom is pure evil.

3. The top has an imprinting-like attachment to the bottom. He falls for him in a very unhealthy way from the start. There will be a groveling arc.

4. The blurb contains some misunderstandings. The bottom turned bad due to various factors, and many things weren't his doing, but he still isn't a good person. He'll gradually become kinder later and repent for his sins.

Isn't it sacred to turn this sort of person into a housewife mommy? (No.)

A shout-out to my friend's upcoming novel, Not Quite Pale's The Heartthrob Is a Spicy Noodle [ABO], 10955826

A goofy, comedic ABO story. Cheese-flavored CEO alpha top x spicy-noodle-flavored omega bottom. The bottom really is spicy! (Literally.)

Probably launching at the end of this year. It's a short story. If she doesn't write it, I'll go beat her up in person! (Just kidding.)

Premise: Keep fighting to stay alive!
