The first time Wen Qi saw Gu Nan with his own eyes was at an auction.
On the auction stage, Gu Nan's body was bound high up, his toes barely touching the ground. Bright red blood dripped onto the platform, and the pair of bone wings Wen Qi loved most bore several knife wounds that had nearly pierced right through them.
In a daze, Wen Qi met those emerald eyes.
A pearl covered in dust, no longer unrestrained. Those eyes were as still as a pool of stagnant water, and the creature before him was worlds apart from the proud, confident domain lord he had written.
The unrestrained protagonist of his story had actually been bullied to this point by a Tasker from another world.
Wen Qi, who had transmigrated here, gritted his teeth and took out all his savings.
That day at the auction, every bug heard an exceedingly gentle voice say, "Would you like to come home with me?"
Saving Gu Nan had been a spur-of-the-moment decision. Wen Qi only wanted him to return to a normal life. Waging war and killing were never what he wanted.
He only hoped he could nurse this battered bug back to health, little by little, until he regained the pride and confidence he had when Wen Qi first met him as he wrote his story.
As for what else needed to be done... he would also deal with that Tasker and restore the world's original order. Then he could retire after completing his mission and return to his own world.
Wen Qi held on to that idea until the day the Tasker died. The proud, handsome male bug held the crown of the Bug Emperor and prostrated himself before him, putting away all his sharp spines as he begged in utmost humility, "I am willing to be your shield and your blade. Please, don't abandon me."
Wen Qi, who had just agreed with the System on a date to leave: "..." What?
In the first half of Gu Nan's life, his dream was to live like a normal female bug. After a sudden fall from grace, dark thoughts gradually took over his heart. From then on, his dream was to trample those arrogant, conceited, useless male bugs underfoot and make them submit.
The day he learned Wen Qi was about to leave, his dream changed. Now, he wanted to do whatever it took to keep the bug who had given him warmth when he was at his lowest.
"Wen Qi, if you dare leave, I'll make this world pay for it."
Extra scene:
One day, a newly appointed minister watched their emperor hurry away as soon as a meeting ended and sighed, "His Majesty sure has a hard day's work."
An old hand among the ministers gave him a sympathetic look. "Busy getting jealous, busy throwing his weight around because he's doted on, busy threatening the Empress with us... How could it not be hard?"
The new minister: "..."
[The proud, confident, stunningly handsome, responsible, mischievous male bug, the Empress and top.]
[The half-darkened, devastatingly handsome, insecure, naturally born leader and Bug Emperor who gets jealous every day, the bottom.]

Next book: My Female Lord Is a Villain
After dying, Lai Shao transmigrated into the bug race and became a third-rate person... male bug, with about the same status, appearance, and temperament as before.
On his first day after transmigrating, he was hurried off to a wedding by some bugs. When he arrived, he discovered that he was the groom.
The one he was marrying had broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and wore a close-fitting combat uniform. He looked at Lai Shao as if he couldn't stand the sight of him, and seemed extremely dangerous.
Planning to take advantage of his male bug status and laze around, Lai Shao thought about the setting he was in.
He had transmigrated into a book, becoming the unnamed ex-husband of the powerful villain. The ex-husband was pathologically jealous, dark and twisted, and delusionally obsessed. When the protagonist appeared, he tried to force himself on the villain to win him over, and the villain slapped him into eight pieces.
Lai Shao: ...
Oh, crap. I'm going to die.
To avoid becoming the male bug who died without a whole corpse in the book, Lai Shao avoided his female lord no matter what.
When his female lord went to battle, he stayed home as a shut-in. When his female lord invited him to a banquet, he pretended to be sick and stayed home. When his female lord was home, he went out.
Three months into their marriage, he had managed not to see his female lord even once.
But on the first day of the fourth month, his female lord barged into his room, ears red and face stern, and told him there was no need to avoid him. He didn't mind.
Lai Shao stared blankly: ???
After that, his female lord came to his room every day. As they grew closer, he seemed to have something to say but held back. Then the day the ex-husband was supposed to die in the book arrived. Lai Shao looked at his satisfied female lord, who was leaning against him and rubbing against him so much he was nearly rubbed bald, and could only think that there was something seriously wrong with this world.
His female lord was a proper villain. Why did he have catlike traits?
And wasn't the villain supposed to like the protagonist?
…
Darnu brought a male bug home from an outing. Remembering how the pirate captain next door was always mocking him for not having a male bug, he got carried away and married him on the spot.
On their wedding day, he noticed something off about the male bug's expression. He didn't think much of it, but the male bug seemed to fall in love with him at first sight.
He went off to war, and the male bug prayed to the statue of the Bug God at home, asking for his safe return.
He went to fight at a banquet hosted by the pirates next door, and the male bug was so afraid of becoming a burden that he stammered out a refusal when invited along.
He stayed home, and the male bug, afraid he would be hated, avoided him every time.
There weren't many male bugs this good. If he didn't seize his chance, there might not be another, his adjutant told him.
Darnu thought the adjutant was right. He planned to explain that he could let the male bug go home, but when he saw him that day and smelled the lovely floral fragrance on him, he changed his words under the male bug's wide-eyed gaze, telling him to fulfill his marital duties instead.
A laid-back, unambitious top who only wants to stay alive, and a powerful, emotionally clueless bottom who overthinks everything

Theme: Everyone is unique
Wow, the little male that kidnapped the First Elder's house
Post some thoughts, The beginning is very engaging to read on, the characters are full of flesh and blood. But starting from about the middle stage, the outline gradually began to flow out, and the motivations of the characters were too little described, resulting in the emotional and career lines of the two protagonists being very dry. The world of the novel gradually fades away, turning into pieces of paper and false.
I don't understand where Gong and Shou's guilt came from. I was already drunk. I don't know where Gu Nan came from to believe that Gong would be fine if he was protected by another person. What contribution did he make by leaving Gong and facing danger alone? Have you ever cared about an attack? When I came back, I was given a lecture. Why did I feel so uncomfortable? I looked like a PUA. Everyone, if you want to read a typical Zerg story about being favored and attacked and favoring each other, you can leave it out. After reading almost half of it, I don't think Gun Nan likes attacking at all, and I don't see what he has done for attacking. A general can only protect and attack very few times, and then he just attacks like a licking dog, and is constantly being criticized by the PUA for saying that it is not good enough for the opponent. I give in. I feel like I can only stick with it for five chapters at most and see if anything changes.
Dig your own holes and pick your own treasures
Looking at it from the front, I think it's very good, very nice! Once the whole character characteristics came out, I felt that the collection was suppressed. After adding the emotional scenes, it felt like it couldn't be written well. It was very stiff. For example, Xiao Gu's feelings for Xiao Wen, near the finale, it gave people a happy and possessive feeling. Of course, the part about Xiao Gu's pregnancy was not included. I felt that the author at that time It feels like it's okay, and when the position is almost to the front, that is, when Xiao Wen's status as a bookworm dies, Xiao Wen's emotions are described very well. Xiao Gu's emotions are described later, but when Xiao Wen reads the information about Xiao Gu from the front, I think it can also be reflected in the play, otherwise it is easy to create a sense of fragmentation. Later, after the child was born, I felt that the portrayal of Xiao Wen was too monotonous. This may be because there was less writing later. If the emotional scenes were modified or more emotional lines were written, the novel might be more perfect. I hope the author will work harder and look forward to the next work.
Insect King: Finally retired
It's so strange, why don't you exchange your soul back during a fight?
Insect King: I won't do it, I won't do it, me! No! Dry! La! Hhhhhh
Read the author's column. Unexpectedly, I have actually read two other Zerg books written by the author... What a fate.
Yoyo, there's something good to watch~
