I Woke Up in a Mad World [Insectoid]

Coming Soon: A Brooding Alpha Who Doesn't Want to Live

A traumatized, pessimistic, world-weary top who can't perform his conjugal duties × a seemingly cold, domineering, but actually flirtatious and unsatisfied bottom (AB story, also known as My Wife Wants to Force Me to Love Him)

Novel Blurb:

A straight male top who is clueless at first, then becomes a mad battle maniac, and gets a little shy around his wife × a straightforward bottom who acts like a heartless sugar daddy but secretly turns into a doll to obsessively spy on his top.

One day, a straight college student transmigrates and is forced to sell both his skills and his body.

Fu Hua: "Didn't you say it was fine as long as you got paid?"

Luo Jia snorted. "That doesn't mean you can covet my body."

Living in the fantastical insectoid world, Luo Jia does his best to adapt. He opens 3,000 Characters Every Larva Must Learn and reminds himself that a male who works hard at life shouldn't be let down. Sob. He'll earn enough to buy a house sooner or later.

Most importantly, his sexual orientation can't change. There's no way he'd get together with a female insect who could knock him out with one punch.

Unless...

Fu Hua: "Hm?"

Luo Jia blushes. "Unless she's a total hottie like Fu Hua, can fight, and has saved my life."

Maybe I should just devote myself to her after all.

As a general, Fu Hua has the special ability to split off interdimensional space. His favorite pastime is controlling dolls in that space to spy on Luo Jia's daily life.

Luo Jia: "You're invading my privacy! I don't like overly domineering female insects."

Fu Hua draws his insect-slaying saber. "What did you say?"

Luo Jia waves his hands. "...But you're special. You're exactly my type."

Why use a butcher's cleaver to kill a chicken? Of course I'll just kiss my wife whenever I feel like it.

At first, Luo Jia only wants to live a quiet, ordinary life, but he gets caught up in a conspiracy by accident. He clings to life through one deadly danger after another, with life and death hanging on a single thought. He has no choice.

He wants more than a peaceful life. He also wants to protect that ever-proud female insect. He has to break through the barrier between them and find the courage to hold her close.

The Federation general's heart, once filled with hatred, begins to waver. At first, he only wanted to keep one particular view all to himself, but then he was surrounded by sunlight, and the spring warmth melted his cold, hard heart.

Before he even realizes it, he has already fallen for the male insect's courage, candor, and kindness, and can no longer break free.

Since you can't escape, then you'll sink with me.

You are the light I stumbled upon when I had reached the end of my road. Once I have you, I won't let go.

Scene 1:

After Luo Jia's transformation, he shows signs of going into heat.

Luo Jia: "Wait, how come no one told me transformation would make me go into heat?"

His eyes red, he curls up and struggles to control his panting.

When a familiar scent appears beside him, Luo Jia can no longer hold back and pins the female insect beneath him.

"Haven't you eaten?" The female insect's suggestive panting hooks his attention, making him lose focus. He can no longer resist the urge to ruin her.

"You brought this on yourself..." the male insect growls through gritted teeth.

Scene 2:

After temporarily losing his memory in an accident, the male insect sees a tall man claiming to be his partner and hides under the blankets, trembling.

"Bro, I really don't know you."

"Here, this is our child." The female insect holds out an ultrasound image. Luo Jia sees an egg.

He shakes his head in disbelief. "Impossible. How can a man have a baby? Don't try to fool me." Luo Jia clutches his stomach, tears nearly spilling from his eyes.

"I carried it."

"Huh?" Luo Jia looks blankly at the female insect's flat stomach.

"You did this to me." The female insect gives him a cold look.

Luo Jia turns bright red. "It wasn't me. How could I have... with you... done that..."

The female insect shows him a video.

It's a strange scene of him shirtless, with his hands tied behind his back, looking helplessly ahead on a bed. Luo Jia's eyes shake with disbelief.

"Want to watch the rest?"

Then he watches, questioning his whole life, what appears to be a steamy movie of himself being forced into love. The other lead is this handsome man with the gloomy expression.

Luo Jia insists, "It's obvious I was forced. Don't think you can fool me."

In the video, Luo Jia suddenly starts crying involuntarily. He looks pitiful, but says, "Wifey, it feels so good..."

Another voice asks, "Do you like it?"

"...I-I like it."

Damn, who the hell is that? There's no way that's me.

(The above does not describe anything below the neck, so please don't ban me.)

Top-focused, with a protagonist who grows over time. One-on-one romance. An unconventional insectoid story. Males don't have absolute dominance in this world, and the male-to-female ratio isn't extreme.

The bottom first appears in Chapter 4.

Theme: Love is equal and free.
