Broken Wings

As a female insect, no matter how much glory you earn, is your ultimate fate still to marry and become a wife?

Lais was angry. He fought back, but couldn't resist the pressures of society. To escape the royal family, which had its eyes fixed on him, he was forced into a matchmaking arrangement, binding him to an underage male insect of unknown origins.

Jun Guiyan was once an ordinary university student. Caught up in an unexpected disaster, he transmigrated to Planet El.

After being inexplicably betrothed, he was sent to study at an academy on the capital planet.

He discovered that although this world was a hundred times more advanced technologically, women had vanished from the course of history. With a human mind, he simply couldn't adapt to insect society.

Fragile male insects and strong female insects?

Thinking of his never-before-seen "fiancee," Jun Guiyan shuddered. Luckily, that person didn't seem to like him either. Getting a divorce shouldn't be too hard, right?

Lais: Let's just make do. We can't get divorced.

General Lais thought he had his fate under control, never imagining that one day he would willingly clip his proud wings for love.

Jun Guiyan: Thanks, but no need. Let's just make do. What else can we do, get divorced?

Self-made transmigrated mecha engineer top x aloof, proud, self-deluding general bottom

Notes:

Top's POV, beautiful and strong characters, equally matched.

Marriage first, love later. The bottom pursues the top, and the romance is slow burn.

Interstellar mecha, insect setting, with a plot-driven progression.

Potential warnings:

The top starts out with no background and in a disadvantaged position, relying entirely on his own efforts. The bottom's friends and family are prejudiced against the top.

Theme: True love does not involve suffering indignities.
