Here is the blurb: This novel is also known as The Demon King Makes Time to Spoil His Wife Today, Too Eighteen-year-old Jian Xin, a student at an interstellar military academy, gets a call from her mother. She learns that her "fiance" will come to the school to pick her up after class tomorrow. Fiance??? Since when did she have one of those?! After class the next day, the usually crowded school gates are strangely quiet. A gigantic alien spacecraft occupies the entire road. A man in a dark green uniform leaps down from the spacecraft, his tall figure casting a shadow over her. Coffee-colored bangs hang before his eyes. He gives a slight blink of his beautiful brown eyes, takes her hand in his white-gloved one, and places a light kiss on its back. "Come home with me." What a handsome man... Wait, why does he have two antennae on his head?! Eek! Jian Xin takes off running. She hates bugs! Victor becomes Jian Xin's deskmate the very next day. She soon discovers that although her new deskmate is imposing and taciturn, he isn't very bright and has to ask her about all sorts of things. Luckily, she's a warmhearted person, and before long the two of them grow close. At a banquet, a drunk Jian Xin throws an arm around the person beside her and boasts, "Victor, stick with me from now on. Big Sis will look after you." "Okay." The man's eyes sparkle, and his antennae fidget shyly. Later on, Jian Xin discovers that she's not really so opposed to antennae anymore. They feel pretty nice to the touch, and squeezing them gets her a handsome guy with a blush on his face... "Victor is so cute." "Victor, Big Sis loves you." "If any of you dares lay a finger on him, I'll kill you." Until one day, Jian Xin takes a bet with her friends and flies a spacecraft alone to the Zerg territory to secretly photograph the Zerg Emperor. Through a half-open door, she sees a huge council chamber filled with Zerg elders, seated in perfectly orderly rows. The young Zerg Emperor sits in the center, his back straight as a rod. His voice is cold and detached as he announces the implementation of a new law. Jian Xin is dumbfounded: Isn't that her adorable little Victor?! * My take on the Zerg, with unconventional worldbuilding! * A Mary Sue romance involving everyday military-academy life! Not a passionate story about a strong female lead! * Uses the setting from A Guide to Pleasing Earthlings.

People mistake her for a worthless old piece of junk and throw her on a garbage heap. She has only enough energy to last 12 hours, so she must forge something to absorb energy or she'll die soon.

A highly advanced civilization invades Blue Star, relying on its overwhelming genetic superiority. They expect every world they encounter to surrender and victory to come easily. But the people of Blue Star are all wearing bizarre yet incredibly powerful mecha, and they fight even more fiercely than the invaders. They fight while competing for kills: "Nobody take this one from me. Sis Qian said if we get ten, she'll give us the latest energy cannon." Someone objects, "Didn't Sis Qian say we have an energy crisis and need to conserve, so we can't use energy-guzzling weapons like energy cannons?" "Hahaha! Sis Qian says these advanced civilizations are delivering energy right to us." [For Sis Qian, charge!] Theme: Cherish life
