A Bug's-Eye View: Surviving as the Zerg's White Moonlight

[Snake Pit Arc] Christian is the most popular female insect of this era. He is elegant, noble, and proud, and even many male insects are his devoted fans. In an insect society where females outnumber males, this is practically unheard of. Every insect believed Christian would live out his life in glory, until an accident sent him tumbling into the Snake Pit, a place that made every female insect turn pale at the mere mention of it... For female insects who make it out of the Snake Pit alive, it is the most unbearable and painful memory of their lives. Aifan is the only male insect born into the royal family in a hundred years. He has everything money can buy and is protected at every turn, but he has lost his freedom. Still, he has a dear friend. Christian often visits him at the palace, gathering gifts for him from planets across the stars and telling him all kinds of strange and wonderful tales. Aifan thought he would live by the rules and spend his life following royal protocol, until news arrived that Christian had gone missing... For the first time, he left the palace alone. Deep inside the pitch-black Snake Pit, Christian grabbed the handsome male insect before him. "Your Highness, do I really have to do this for you to get the hint?" Even though his mind was already clouded, he still remembered your voice, your breathing. He knew you had come.

That was his father, the only male insect in history ever to escape from Utopia. His father told him not to let himself be imprisoned again, and to live freely among the stars. That was exactly what he had always done. Until he met Cheryl, the female insect with gray hair and gray eyes, carefree and uninhibited. Heard he grew up in Utopia? With all that proximity, he still couldn't win the favor of a single male insect? Just how awful must his personality be? Has he figured out that I'm male? Tan Xiaofan thinks he and Cheryl are playing a game whose rules they both understand. Either Cheryl's sweet talk and relentless advances defeat him, and he willingly walks into Utopia to be kept there, or he successfully hunts Cheryl, turning Utopia's most devoted supporter into his spear and shield.

Qi Zhen escaped from the ivory-tower-like Guide Academy. Learning supernatural abilities was cool, but what was with being cut off from the world and having Sentinels choose you once you became an adult?! As headlines in newspapers everywhere announced that a precious S-class Guide had gone missing, Qi Zhen was traveling far and wide. At long last, he found his dear friend from his previous life, only to run into him just as he graduated from military school as its top Sentinel. And he confessed to him again! Qi Zhen: My friend, since you've lost your memories, let's just forget that I once accepted your confession! It's not that I'm breaking my word. You never told me that being together meant you'd mark me! You were basically scamming me!!! [Guide Academy Course Notes] -- What is a mark? -- A contract that allows a Sentinel to control and dominate a Guide when they form a complete bond. -- Yu Bugui realizes someone has been secretly watching over him. Gifts arrive in his mailbox when he spends New Year's alone, and when he has a psychic episode out in the wilderness, someone provides him with mental guidance... How could he possibly resist bringing such a wonderful little Guide home? They say they're dear friends? Ha. There is no such thing as pure friendship between a Sentinel and a Guide. Yu Bugui has threatened, bribed, and pretended to be sick to get the little Guide who refuses to come home to change his mind... He has tried every trick in the book. At last, he lowers his eyes and murmurs, "I've already washed up. I'm just waiting for you to come back and mark me." Qi Zhen: Marking and being marked is the difference between taking advantage of someone and being taken advantage of. He's only ever going to be the one taking advantage.
