[Please be sure to read the content warnings. An optimistic, cheerful friend to female insects top x a cool, powerful, awkward little kitten bottom. Happy ending, top dotes on bottom.]
The next novel is from the top's point of view: Do Top-Tier Alphas Also Have to Study Math and Science? Feel free to add it to your collection!
Here's the blurb:
When the male insect Xiao He gets his mental strength evaluated, he's ranked F.
That means he has no mental strength at all and can offer female insects no value.
The A-ranked secondary female insect he'd been engaged to runs away overnight after hearing the news.
That's when Fang Qingye, an SS-ranked female insect marshal of the Federation, shows up at his door.
Fang Qingye: I want to marry you.
Xiao He: ???
Fang Qingye: Don't get the wrong idea. I have no intention of settling down. I just need an easy-to-control male insect to deal with my father.
Xiao He gets it.
Well, nobody wants him anyway, so it doesn't matter who he marries.
After the wedding, Xiao He unexpectedly awakens a "Pamper Your Wife" System?
As long as he treats his female partner well, he earns points that increase his mental strength.
So Xiao He cleans and does housework during the day, then warms the marshal's bed at night. He goes along with whatever the marshal wants, diligently playing the role of a good husband.
Fang Qingye pays none of it any attention, throwing himself into battle.
By the time he realizes something is wrong and looks back at Xiao He, Xiao He has become an SS-ranked male insect and the most popular streamer in the entire Federation.
Not only does Xiao He stop warming his bed, he also often chats enthusiastically with the young, unmarried female insects watching his stream.
Fang Qingye's dedication to his career suddenly falls apart.
Fang Qingye: I think I need to take a serious look at this relationship.
Xiao He: Mm. How does my female partner plan to do that?
Fang Qingye: Tonight, I'll warm your bed instead.
Xiao He: And then?
Fang Qingye: P-please... do whatever you want with me, husband?
Content warnings:
1. This isn't a wish-fulfillment story. The top is weaker than the bottom to some extent, and the top will suffer early on. The bottom has a mild "chasing his husband to the crematorium" arc. Please stop reading if you can't accept that.
2. Please don't make up plot points based on the blurb. The author isn't responsible for anything readers imagine.
3. This isn't a traditional insectoid story. Some original worldbuilding has been added to make it more readable.
4. You're welcome to leave, comment, or rate the story however you like. However, the author reserves the right to delete comments and report rule-breaking comments, including but not limited to swearing, malicious attacks on characters, writing advice, misleading comments that have little to do with the actual story, and excessive spoilers.

Blurb for a future story:
Alpha Lu Cang has waited twenty years and finally meets an Omega with a 100% match on his birthday.
He rushes off to see his future wife, only to be turned away at the door.
His future wife is a little genius who doesn't like talking and immerses himself in studying.
Frustrated, Lu Cang turns to a friend for advice. His friend suggests:
You could study alongside him. Then he won't turn you down.
That makes sense!
Lu Cang looks at his future wife's school, Capital University of Technology, ranked number one nationwide, then at his own school next door, Capital Vocational Technical School, and realizes he has plenty of room to improve.
A week later, Lu Cang buys every high school textbook he can find.
Six months later, he feels his brain is about to reach capacity.
A year later, immersed in a sea of knowledge, he turns to his future wife and says:
"I'm about to drown in this sea of knowledge. Help me, honey!"
Li Shuyan doesn't want to get married.
Ever since he received the government's matching notice, he's been anxious.
He doesn't know how to talk or get along with people. The only thing he knows how to do is study.
He thinks his match is bound to hate him, just like his classmates, who make fun of him for being a bookworm.
So, before he can be rejected, he runs away.
But he never expected his match to be like a ray of light, forcing his way through the cracks to reach him.
He studies and grows alongside him, letting him see colors he'd never seen before.
At last, one day, Li Shuyan softly asks, "Can I like you?"
Lu Cang pulls him into his arms and kisses him. "Is liking me all? Looks like I'll have to try harder."
A sweet little story about pursuing your wife, with a devoted top and an antisocial bottom.
Theme: Respect and love.
[The following are all my emotional complaints, it's not that I really don't like it] Alas! I still feel that I really don't like this main palace. Everyone has their own preferences. If possible, it makes me want to switch to Shou. Although we are in love, I don't like the cold violence very much. So if possible, I still hope to start a new life or something. And to put it in a bad way, I still think it may be because Gong and Shou are together that they face too much publicity. As for the pressure, it was Gong's own willingness. I can't say anything, but it really made me feel that Shou didn't love Gong that much. His love was too obscure and rational, and he was not worthy of Gong's bravery and progress. It can't be said that he loved Gong even if he didn't love him. The love was also quite deep. The pressure that the marshal put in and endured for Gong was not comparable to the pressure that Gong endured. It felt like he didn't pay as much as Gong. It makes me feel that if Gong was not with Shou, he would not have to endure a lot, such as being beaten, pressure from public opinion, and career ruined. I feel that Gong can achieve his career without the help of the marshal, but it will last a long time, because he is good enough and persistent. There is no need for him to say that he is willing to pay too much for a marriage. It is also the case that Marshal can be rational in marriage, but Gong cannot, because what Gong needs is love and life. Marshal couldn't give it at first, but later he gave it, but that was when Gong was about to give up. Why do I think it's not possible? It's because I feel that in terms of love, Shou is not as deep as Gong's love. The outline has already reached this point, and the main Shou has been decided. I just want to complain. Now that I've said it, let me talk about the next attack. I'm just a fool to criticize you. At the beginning, Gong didn't have the bravery and confidence that usually characterize system attacks. He had low self-esteem. He was even afraid at the beginning and didn't dare to complete the tasks assigned by the system. But he is slowly improving, which is very valuable. He is a person (or a bug?) Who has the ability to make progress and gradually become better. At the beginning, I gradually changed from not liking his character to watching him grow and understand him. So I feel that I am not worthy of him, because before the divorce, he did not make much progress and even regressed in this marriage. However, seeing this, he has gradually taken that step and feels a little relieved. These are purely complaints and my thoughts after reading this article. [The previous ones are just complaints, don't worry, big brother]
?! Li Ting is actually red-haired! (And it turned out to be the past life!)
Hey, I can add a little bit about the daily life of the brother and brother in the future! There are also other things like how the older brother or younger brother reacts when they see their brother has a partner! Can he even write about Xiao He's psychological expectations for the future partner of the female son...? Ha ha ha ha
Congratulations in advance for becoming V, let's spread the flowers.
Ah, at first I was looking forward to torturing the marshal, but now it's me who wants sweet love, ah ah, what kind of roly-poly am I?
Saw Xiao Chuan's behavior as a child (bear cub?) It reminds me of my brother's even more heart-breaking behavior when he was a kid, cutting rmb paper.
Insect eggs—Insect eggs
The protagonist is so miserable. He is treated like this because his parents want him to be.
No more extras! Woo woo woo
Hmm, it's so sweet, and there's glass shards. I finished reading it in one go. The author is great!
