A Guide to Caring for a Sickly Insect Queen

Yan Yu grew up in a research institute. He was hard of hearing, limped, and was often sick. None of the other children wanted to play with him. When he was six, a fire broke out in the laboratory building. Everyone forgot about him, and he curled into a tiny ball in a damp corner. 1 min: a ceiling beam fell. 2 min: a window shattered without being struck. 3 min: the researchers locked the building from the outside and fled. Yan Yu looked up at the window. A light from the sky he had never seen before illuminated the pitch-black smoke, as a huge, arthropod-like, dazzlingly beautiful Zerg flew overhead. A sentence came to him at the most inappropriate moment: “Zerg are all brutal, terrifying creatures. You must show them no mercy. Drive a knife into the heart at the center of its chest, then plant a bloodthirsty rose in its body.” Yan Yu lowered his eyes and waited for death. Just then, a Zerg covered in blood stumbled into the laboratory, its eyes full of hostility. “Are you a human child?” Little Yan Yu was very quiet. Slowly, he lowered the knife and pressed his cold, frail palm against the Zerg’s wound. The wound healed completely. The Zerg froze, its handsome face turning livid. “Who are you?” Yan Yu wasn’t wearing his hearing aid. “Sorry, I can’t hear you. Could you say that again?” “...” The next moment, a massive starship stopped by the window. The Zerg gave him a long look, said nothing, and turned to leave. A minute later, it came back. Yan Yu was still hiding in the small, dark, damp corner. The flames and smoke had rendered him unconscious. It bent down, firmly yet tenderly gathered the sickly child into its arms, and strode aboard the starship. Tens of thousands of years ago, the Zerg grew powerful and rapidly expanded their territory. Their combat abilities were unmatched, but they were brutal, bloodthirsty, and uncontrollable. After the death of the Primordial Queen, several major clans within the Zerg fell into open conflict. The Federation planned to seize the opportunity to wipe them out. They created a test subject with the most sophisticated genome: S. His healing ability was 100%, his attack power was 100%, and even his beauty rating was 100%. With a mere flick of his finger, he could destroy hordes of Zerg. Unfortunately, S was contaminated by the Queen’s genes in the laboratory. He became a defective product and was abandoned in despair. After S went missing, disaster struck. Countless alien creatures climbed up from the depths of the abyss. Humanity’s doors were blasted open, and peaceful lives were shattered. The mutants stood at the top of the food chain, looking down on all life. From then on, the entire galaxy was plunged into darkness. Until that day arrived. Surrounded by countless Zerg, S returned safe and sound, cold yet tenderly soothing the ferocious mutants. [Beneath the boundless sky, people looked up at a faint, illusory light. There was only one person willing to become the moon and illuminate the long night.] * 1. This is an entirely fictional setting and has no connection to reality. Please don’t read it as a reflection of real life! The protagonist opposes the unjust social structure. 2. The story has many elements, with a world where the Queen reigns supreme. The ratio of male to female Zerg is 1000:1. 3. HE, 1v1, the love interest is a King Zerg. Someone has a one-sided crush on the protagonist. 4. All the Zerg dote on the little one. Sweet romance, with them getting together once he’s grown up. I also have another upcoming novel, The Sickly Queen’s Survival Guide Theme: God said, “Let there be light,” so we move forward toward hope.
