The Wise Do Not Fall in Love [Insectoid]

Main pairing: a cold, ruthless career-driven gong x a resilient, devoted male Zerg shou

Synopsis:

Li Guizhou died. When he opened his eyes again, he had left Earth behind and been reborn in an unfamiliar Zerg civilization.

He had also changed from an alpha into a male Zerg, taking the new name Vail.

Among the Zerg, males and females alike resemble human men, yet their mating system, based on one male taking multiple females, overturns everything people know. It is absurd and restrictive.

After being reborn, Li Guizhou abruptly became a minor. From the start, he faced the coming-of-age ceremony every male Zerg must undergo: mating with a female Zerg.

A lifelong bachelor who had seen through worldly conventions and had no interest in sex: Li Guizhou: ...

But even more than that, as someone who had always lived alone, he couldn't accept the rule that once they mated, he would have to take his partner as a female consort.

To preserve his freedom and prevent any entanglements, he quickly came up with a plan.

#Find a willing one-night stand, sleep together, then go our separate ways#

#Leave no clues and eliminate any chance of getting involved#

#Perfect#

After that night.

In the seventh year since his rebirth among the Zerg, and the third year since he earned the title of Chief Healer,

the female Zerg who had shared his bed that night appeared before him, bringing a child whose features bore a striking resemblance to his own.

This wasn't some cliched story about a parent showing up with a child to find the other parent.

It was a request for medical help.

He calmly motioned for the female Zerg to sit down and opened the medical file. For the first time, he learned the other's name.

[In short: One moment of falling in love means a lifetime of being in love.]
