Other people who transmigrate to the insectoid world get to enjoy a superior interstellar lifestyle. Not Chao Ye: he came to improve the male insects' meals.
Other people who transmigrate as male insects get to win the love of a devoted partner, reach the peak of life, and enjoy being the one on top. Not Chao Ye: when he meets the one he loves, he has to be the bottom, tears in his eyes.
This insectoid world seems to have gone haywire. The military females have gone off to conquer the stars, leaving the unproductive male insects to struggle with an economy that can't hold a candle to their military strength. Their lives are miserable day after day.
As a chef, Chao Ye can't stand living in a world without good food!
He misses the seafood, hot pot, barbecue, milk tea, snacks, and desserts from his previous life...
No, he can't take it. He's starving.
There's meat but no vegetables? Fine, I'll grow my own.
No seasonings? Fine, I'll make my own.
No suitable pots? Fine, I'll forge my own.
No phones or WeChat? I... I don't know how to make those. I'll build a school instead, and hope the adorable little insect larvae can enter the information age sooner.
Chao Ye has one dream:
Before he dies,
he wants to get the contact details of the one he loves.
Later:
Chao Ye's delicious food catches the attention of the domineering sub-female Bu Yang.
But...
His female husband has gone to work again.
Another day of waiting for his female husband to come home.

Theme: In this world, nothing should be wasted, whether it's good food or love.
