Handmade goods influencer Xie Cichuan dies suddenly and wakes up as a cannon-fodder crippled insect in a novel, bound to a villain System.
The System requires him to keep the villain alive. If the villain dies, he dies.
Glancing at the shrunken Imperial major in his arms, Xie Cichuan decides to work himself to the bone to stay alive, while also clinging to the villain's coattails.
At first
The shrunken villain watches the crippled insect change his bandages and thinks: Why is he a useless cripple? Insects like him are worthless, and his family is so poor.
Xie Cichuan looks forward to it: Did I manage to cling to his coattails today?
Later
The injured young villain nestles in Xie Cichuan's arms, watching him knit a sweater. Maybe this cripple isn't so useless after all.
Xie Cichuan sighs: Clinging to this guy's coattails seems kind of difficult.
Later still
The grown villain pins Xie Cichuan against the door. "I still want you to wait on me, close and personal, keeping my bed warm."
Xie Cichuan drops the little wooden weapon in his hand in shock. How did I end up clinging to his leg the wrong way?!

The insects of Mo Xing discover that, after disappearing for a while, their major has returned and stopped clinging to the male Zerg general. Instead, he follows a crippled insect around all day and even says he likes him!
The other insects assume the major has been manipulated and wait to expose the cripple's true nature.
Then, during a livestream, they watch the major walk toward the cripple one step at a time. They think he's about to clear things up, but instead
"Hold me. Look down. I want a kiss."
The other insects: "..."
So has the major always been like this?
A serious, survival-minded crippled insect soldier x a powerful, max-combat-strength female Zerg soldier who can't resist him
Reader's guide:
1. At the beginning, the bottom has a favorable impression of the original top, but it isn't really love.
2. The bottom is extremely strong in his normal form. The top is more of a support type. He can't beat the bottom and can only be said to have lots of equipment.
3. The top will not become a male Zerg in the end, though his mental power will increase.
4. There is a lot of headcanon. The top spoils the bottom early on, and later they spoil each other.
5. The two insects' romance doesn't develop until after the bottom grows up.
Pre-release synopsis, from the bottom's perspective
Overworked office worker Jiang Hanchun dies from working overtime and becomes a cannon-fodder substitute for the protagonist of a novel, and a member of the Hehuan Sect to boot.
The good news: If he follows the Hehuan Sect's character setup and finishes the plot, he can retire and lie flat!
The bad news: The original character was supposed to be a cold and aloof immortal, and he got it wrong.
Jiang Hanchun faithfully follows the plot and works like a dog, only to discover that the protagonist top seems much more ruthless than in the original novel. He even leaves demon beasts barely alive just so he can watch them die.
Later, Jiang Hanchun discovers that the person he's been trying to please isn't the protagonist top at all, but the original novel's villainous boss!
All that work was for nothing!

Recently, the demonic cultivator Lou Jinshui defeated the righteous immortal Jiang Hanchun.
Lou Jinshui takes him back to his cave residence, curious to see how this righteous cultivator, who has always considered him a thorn in his side, will react.
He expects Jiang Hanchun to look down on him and sneer without even sparing him a glance. Instead, the first thing Jiang Hanchun does after opening his eyes is hug him and act coy!
Lou Jinshui: ?
So the righteous immortal is like this in private?
*
After realizing his mistake, Jiang Hanchun turns and runs, only to be caught and pinned to the bed.
Looking at the face that used to beam at him, Lou Jinshui hooks a finger into the belt Jiang Hanchun has tied especially tightly today. "Didn't you undress for me every day? Why aren't you taking it off today? You seduced me, and now you want to run?"
Bonus scene:
Hearing that the "protagonist top" has returned from work, Jiang Hanchun immediately opens his collar a little wider.
The boss works hard outside. Of course he'll need some emotional support when he gets back.
As soon as Lou Jinshui enters his cave residence, someone lands right in his arms.
Jiang Hanchun smiles as he wraps his arms around Lou Jinshui's neck, his eyes full of warmth. "You've been gone so long, Your Reverence. You must be tired."
Lou Jinshui stays calm, gazing into Jiang Hanchun's bright black eyes. "Oh? And what would you like to do?"
"Something that will make Your Reverence happy, of course."
A bottom who only wants to work and lie flat as soon as possible x a dark, possessive top
Theme: Wherever you are, keep striving to live.
. . . Ah, I feel that Yan'er is getting more and more depressed. It's better to separate. I feel that he and Xiaoqing are not on the same level now. It would be better for everyone to separate.
Dear children, you must pay attention to your health. It is best not to stay up late, go to bed early and get up early, eat well and drink well. If your family members have underlying diseases, you must be advised to take medicine on time. The hospital was really overcrowded, and there was almost no room for beds in the corridor. In order to fit a bed for my mother, the nurse sister ran around a lot to find a seat. It took a lot of effort orz
I don't think so. This female emperor is the master of the power behind the residual insect area, right?
I feel like this pair of deputy CPs are not suitable to be together. They have different views.
Tangtang is getting softer and softer, hhh, it has turned into a soft candy
Yan'er is so disgusting, I don't care if it's the plot or not, he is in an unforgivable state to me!! Because he has done real harm to Xiao Qing.
Why don't you go back? Life expectancy there is hundreds of years.
!! Qiqi is the one who eats both inside and outside.
I need to change the plot, there are some glitches, let's fight again tomorrow Dear babies, go to bed early, good night, good night
Hahahahahahahahaha pure love Tangtang
