When the Insect Emperor Meets the Beautiful but Tragic One

"This is a fictional setting with no connection to reality. Please don't apply it to real life."

After being transported two thousand years into the future, Yi Xingbo, an insect emperor of his era, was forced to choose a female insect protector for himself!

The insect emperor, who had stayed single because his standards were too high, asked, "Is this really necessary?"

Then he was proven wrong in an instant: at first sight, he fell for the handsome female insect with the cold gaze.

The whole crowd was in an uproar. How could a noble male insect prince let Yun Shenen, a criminal with so many sins, protect him?

*

Ever since Yi Xingbo was adopted, a group of female insects had kept watch around them, livestreaming the male insect prince's every move on the Star Network around the clock to make sure they could immediately intervene if he was ever harmed.

But what they saw was this:

When the female insect came back from outside, the male insect prince hurried over, took the things from his hands, then gave him a hug and a kiss on the cheek.

The female insect froze in place, the tips of his ears burning red.

When the female insect took the male insect shopping, the male insect carefully picked out a pile of things for him, refused to let him pay, and pulled out the little gold card he'd earned himself. "I'll take care of you from now on."

The female insect gazed at him, both stunned and bewildered. No insect had ever said those words to him.

The female insects in the livestream chat were green with envy. They had never seen such a considerate, gentle male insect prince, and day and night they hoped he would kick Yun Shenen to the curb so they could take his place.

When he heard Yi Xingbo say aloud that he didn't love him,

Yun Shenen, cold as ice, gripped him by the waist. In the sealed room, his eyes were bloodshot. "...It's fine if you don't love me. I don't want to hurt you."

Yi Xingbo raised an eyebrow.

Yun Shenen had thought he would spend his whole life living in the shadow of his female parent, and die in battle amid contempt and blame. He never expected a male insect, like an angel, would be willing to save him and lead him out of that mire.

He swore to the Insect God that he would protect his male insect with his life and never leave his side.

Strongly recommended: My new novel is expected to launch in November. It's a seme-focused story, The Villain Is a Brooding Ghost.

Gu Chen'an was pulled into a power-fantasy novel about a mighty protagonist. He wasn't the protagonist, but a minor character who forcibly claimed the amnesiac villain, hastened his descent into darkness, and ultimately ended up with his family ruined by him.

He hadn't wanted to follow the plot, but when he learned that completing it would let him fake his death and escape the world, Gu Chen'an, who had been sickly and never experienced a normal life, admitted that he was tempted.

So he rolled up his sleeves, determined to make the villain feel the cruelty of society and turn evil as soon as possible.

But why was the villain acting like he'd taken fake medicine, behaving every day as if he had no ambitions and only cared about how good the free meals were?

He dropped by the villain's place, intending to humiliate him, but as soon as he opened the door, the villain, wearing an apron, took the initiative to help him off with his coat and clung to him. "An'an, stay here tonight!"

Gu Chen'an: "..."

He took the villain to a party, intending to put him down a peg and toughen him up. When the villain triggered a scene where the guests mocked him, he immediately cowered in Gu Chen'an's arms.

"An'an, they're so mean."

Gu Chen'an: "..."

Gu Chen'an was beside himself. His mission was to mold the villain into a world-weary Big Boss, not a clinging vine who begged for hugs and cuddles every day!

Just then, the villain came over with a delicious little cake and snuggled into his arms. "An'an, I made a new cake. Try it. Is it sweet?"

Gu Chen'an, with his mouth full of cake: "..."

Damn it, how was he supposed to live like this?

Well, the cake was pretty sweet!

No, he didn't want a villain who lived off him. He wanted an unparalleled, supreme villainous overlord!

--

The first thing the villain thought of after being reborn was to go to the place where he had met Gu Chen'an and wait for him to take him home.

Seeing Gu Chen'an's lively body and animated expressions, everything showed that he was still alive. The villain laughed and cried, grateful to heaven for giving him another chance to meet his beloved.

He cherished every second he spent with Gu Chen'an. He was addicted to the other's presence.

This time, he would drive away everyone around Gu Chen'an, until he was the only one in Gu Chen'an's world and in his eyes!

Extra scene:

One day, while the villain was away, Gu Chen'an quietly got someone to contact the supposed moonlight of the villain from the book, planning to arrange a romantic reunion for them.

They had barely left the restaurant when the villain caught them red-handed.

"..." Gu Chen'an guiltily looked away.

The villain smiled without saying a word.

That night, the villain pinned Gu Chen'an to the bed, eyes red, and kissed him while gripping his face. "Why does someone else always show up by your side? Can't it just be me?"
