Zerg, Dating Show, and a Love Triangle from Hell

After lying low for eight years, Wu Linyi finally became worthy of standing shoulder to shoulder with Yan Yuan.

But before he could begin courting him, there was still one thing eating at him: the one who had kept Yan Yuan single all this time, his one true love.

He ruthlessly scooped up a batch of fish,

but the romance between the protagonist and the male lead still wasn't going anywhere.

Just as Yan Yuan was about to try an even stronger remedy, a usually cold and aloof female insect walked up to him.
