I Became a Scholar in the Zerg

Not making it to the college entrance exam was the greatest regret of Chu Yan's life.

After dying in a car accident, Chu Yan transmigrates into the body of an unlearned, universally despised male bug.

This bug is extravagant and indulgent, fawning over handsome female bugs all day and even trying to seduce Lin Ze, the popular male idol known as "the Empire's Flower."

Chu Yan picks up the physics test on the desk and smiles at the bewildered proctor.

Sorry, all I care about is studying.

No one knows that Lin Ze, the perfect female bug in their eyes, despises male bugs to the extreme.

He always smiles gently as he twirls a sharp dagger, trampling those disgusting creatures underfoot.

When he receives a love letter from a universally despised male bug, Lin Ze thinks: What kind of trash dares to covet me?!

Chu Yan: Sorry, you've got the wrong bug. I'm preparing for my exams. Don't bother me.

Lin Ze: ...

Later, Lin Ze grabs Chu Yan by the collar, so angry he could cry.

"Chu Sanmen, tell me the truth! How many female bugs have you written love letters to?!"

Chu Yan shakes the starship blueprint in his hand, turns around, and kisses his wife's reddened eye. With a helpless sigh, he says,

"I told you, you're the only one."

Blurb

Chu Jiashang is a sucker who supports his whole family all by himself.

His fake father, stepmother, and ex-wife who cheated on him can all coax a smiling "I'll take care of you" out of him.

Then they turn around and stab him in the heart.

At twenty-eight, Mr. Chu dies suddenly and returns to the day he first learns the truth about his birth.

His father, Chu, painstakingly tries to persuade fourteen-year-old him: "The family has had a hard time raising you this far, Jiashang. You have to repay their kindness!"

Chu Jiashang pats his father's shoulder. "Cutting someone off from their livelihood is like killing their parents. You should turn back before it's too late."

Mr. Chu: "?"

Back with his real, prominent Chu family, Chu Jiashang firmly rejects cutthroat competition and decides to be an utterly ordinary, lazy rich second-generation kid.

The young master of the Cen family comes up to him and says in a mild voice, "Brother Jiashang, how can you be so lazy...?"

Chu Jiashang teases him. "What's it to you?"

Cen Baizhao blushes and carefully holds the slender fingers of the handsome older boy. In a soft voice, he says, "You're so handsome, Brother... I-I'll take care of you."

CP: handsome, lazy top who's gentle on the surface but sharp-tongued underneath (Chu Jiashang) x workaholic bottom who's cold on the surface but a pure-hearted pretty-face lover underneath (Cen Baizhao)
