I Became a Live-In Son-in-Law in the Insectoid World

New Novel: "I Work in Human Resources in the Underworld" is available for pre-order collection. The blurb is at the very end.

Ran Ning transmigrated into the insect world.

But he never expected that, after living an utterly ordinary life among the insects for 25 years, he would activate a Son-in-Law Face-Slapping System because of a wedding.

Well, he was one of the people getting married. He was marrying into the family, and his female spouse was Jin Feibai, the current head of the Jin family, a wealthy Federation merchant clan.

The System was a bit of an idiot. It got his name wrong as soon as it opened its mouth:

"Congratulations on activating the Face-Slapping System, Li Changning, soon-to-be son-in-law!

Our goal is face-slapping! Slap every face! And remember to stick to your principles: absolutely do not drink your mother-in-law's foot-washing water!"

Ran Ning: ...

The System was thrilled. "First, start face-slapping at the wedding banquet! Use peerless medical skills to slap the faces of those brainless relatives who look down on sons-in-law! For every 100 face-slapping points, you get one draw! A hundred billion in cash could be yours!"

Ran Ning: ???

The System: "What are you waiting for?! Get out there!"

Ran Ning smiled. "Is it possible that I don't know any medicine, and you bound the wrong Host?"

Jin Feibai had risen to power by any means necessary, becoming the only female insect to head the old Jin family of Wen City in a hundred years.

To keep his uncles and the collateral branches from grumbling, he took in Ran Ning, an orphan he had once sponsored, as his husband.

He figured that Ran Ning's clean background would at least save him some trouble. Though his male spouse's humble origins would inevitably invite nasty comments from other insects, they each got what they wanted. Ran Ning wasn't the fragile type, either. Once they had a larva to inherit the family business, everything would be fine.

Who could have guessed that his "gray prince" of a husband would actually...

Jin Feibai raised an eyebrow. "It's getting cold. The Jin family is finished?"

Ran Ning smiled faintly. "You're too kind."

Jin Feibai: ...

The little idiot System, trembling with fear: ...

A business tycoon bottom * a transmigrated old-school top

Transmigrate into a book, transmigrate into the insect world, with a silly and adorable System. They fall in love after marrying first. Complete. The blurb is misleading, and the System plays a very small role. I recommend subscribing one chapter at a time so you can cut your losses if it's not to your taste.

Set in a fictional world unrelated to reality. Please don't draw parallels to real life.

New novel pre-order: "I Work in Human Resources in the Underworld"

Yu Lei, male, 26, a corporate drone working in HR, has just lost his job after the astonishing achievement of driving three companies out of business in the four years since he graduated. Add to that a lifetime of bad luck and a knack for losing money, and he has no savings. He urgently needs a job to support himself and his cat overlord.

Just then, his old charlatan of a grandfather, back in their hometown, finds him a job. Apparently it's at a family business owned by one of his grandfather's friends. Good pay, little work, close to home: the only possible downside is that he might see ghosts.

Seeing that the pay during the probation period is as much as 20,000, Yu Lei is shamefully tempted. So what if he might see ghosts? For the sake of the money, he'll get along harmoniously with his ghost coworkers and coexist in friendship. He absolutely will not be the first to whip out a peachwood sword or a Bagua compass!

After joining Taoshi Media and Culture Co., Ltd., Yu Lei takes stock of the pros and cons of the job:

A private office, and he's the HR manager, with no one supervising him: plus 5 points!

Meals and accommodation provided, with a varied cafeteria menu: plus 1 point.

He can bring his cat overlord to work: plus 10 points!!!

All his coworkers are ghosts... no problem, he's not afraid of ghosts anyway: minus 10 points, then.

The company's workflow is a complete mess... no problem, as long as they don't pin the blame on him: minus 5 points.

His coworkers can even eat each other... Ghosts eating ghosts? That's fine, then. Yu Lei smiles tiredly and makes a heavy mark in his little notebook: minus 10 points!!

He knew good luck wasn't going to come easily. He could put up with it for the money.

What? His paycheck was only 5,000 in base salary? They docked all his performance pay? Resentment makes his bad luck even worse?

Yu Lei smiles and rolls up his sleeves. "Bring it on. This wage earner is an expert at building systems and reforming regulations!"

Later, Taoshi Media and Culture Co., Ltd. turns its fortunes around completely, leading all of Taoshi Mountain and the Underworld out of poverty and into prosperity, while also contributing to the modernization of the world of the living.

The ghosts of the Underworld chant their rousing slogan: "Out of poverty, into prosperity, toward a moderately prosperous society! Let's strive to modernize the Underworld!"

Yu Lei, smiling tiredly: "Lie flat, be a lazy fish, make a fortune! I'm working hard today, too, so I can retire early."

Theme: Love should not be rigidly defined by material things.
