After a Female Insect Became Everyone's Favorite, the Horror Crossover Took on the Vibe of a Dating Show

The unfair social order of the insect race, where males rule over females, has robbed countless female insects of a life of glory.

Ryan would rather die from a psychic power meltdown than grovel at the feet of those useless male insects and live in disgrace.

After dying, Ryan transmigrated into the protagonist of a reverse-harem novel, where readers could choose their love interest. He joined a hit variety show called Haunted Castle.

In the show's preview, every guest checking into the castle was rich or powerful: a cold-faced CEO, a gentle prince, a top-tier star with breathtaking looks, a cool and aloof artist...

The least noticeable one on the show was Ryan, with bangs hanging past his eyelashes, black-rimmed glasses, and an utterly careless attitude toward his appearance.

Netizens: “How did a bookworm like Ryan get on this show? I could do this too!”

“He's obviously going to come in last in popularity, hahaha.”

“This show's terrifying. Ryan looks so frail. Let me take his place! You're going to scream, little guy.”

When the show aired, the CEO's cool facade crumbled as a long-haired ghost with a long tongue scared him senseless in the middle of the night. His shriek woke Ryan right up.

Ryan expressionlessly touched the ghost's hair. “This hairstyle doesn't look good. Want me to give you a better one?”

The CEO watched as Ryan slowly cut the ghost's hair shorter, revealing its gruesome, frightening face. Screaming, he ran out of the room.

The gentle prince woke up in the morning and pulled back his covers, only to be startled by a skeleton that had somehow spent the night in bed beside him.

Ryan was woken up again. Half asleep, he pulled the skeleton into his arms, patted it, and soothed it gently. “Did it scare you? It woke me up too. I'm tired. Let's sleep a little longer.”

The gentle prince punched himself in the heart, instantly seeing stars. “I must still be dreaming to see such a terrifying sight.”

In his dream, the gentle prince let himself give in to his desires. “Ryan, that skeleton isn't as good-looking as me. Sleep in my arms instead. I'm handsome.”

Ryan thought about it, tossed the skeleton onto his own bed, then got into the gentle prince's bed. “You are pretty handsome.”

Netizens: “Good heavens! Ryan, you're the scariest ghost in the whole castle!!”

Then one day, Ryan fought a monster bare-handed. To move freely, he tossed his glasses aside and took off his shirt, revealing a beautiful, muscular body. He looked fierce and incredibly handsome in battle!

When Ryan casually swept his sweat-damp bangs back, the netizens finally realized that beneath his bookish exterior was a face so stunningly beautiful it could take your breath away!!

Netizens: “Aaaaaah! Ryan, darling! You might as well take off your pants too! Don't let clothes restrict your monster-fighting moves!”

A month after the show aired.

Netizens: “Why are they all pursuing Ryan, my darling! He's mine QAQ”

“I advise all of Ryan, my darling's, suitors not to go too far! You're on Haunted Castle, not If You Are the One!!”

“Your Highness, don't think I can't tell you're pretending to be scared of the ghosts so you can cling to my darling! You're such a schemer.”

Shang Zhuo, a handsome and domineering CEO. Everyone in Vanlos wanted to seduce him, marry into his wealthy family, and reach the pinnacle of life.

But the cold-faced CEO lowered himself and gently coaxed Ryan. “Sweetheart Ryan, are you awake? I'll bring you the most expensive helicopter. How about I fly it over and take you on a date?”

Netizens: QAQ You're bullying me because I can't afford a big helicopter QAQ

Prince Audin inherited the face of Queen Christina, the most beautiful woman in the empire. He had the most dazzling looks in the Christina Empire. No man was more handsome than he was, and no woman was more beautiful. Every subject in the empire wanted to be his imperial consort.

The gentle prince pleaded, “Ryan, darling, I love you. I only love you. Please look only at me, okay? Don't you like the most beautiful people? I'm pretty in more than just my face, too. Want to see?”

So Ryan very impolitely reached out and started pulling at his clothes...

Netizens: QAQ Damn it, you're bullying me because I'm not as good-looking as you QAQ

.

Later.

Netizens: “Ryan conquered a CEO, a prince, a top-tier star, and an artist, then went on to surpass them all!”

“Ryan started a publicly listed company, became a prince's consort, entered the entertainment industry and topped the charts for years, and is also the mysterious sculptor Xun Che. Darling, I'm not worthy of you.”

Netizens: “Sob! Ryan, darling, can do everything!!”

Audin: “He's my darling.”

.

On their wedding night.

Audin held the exhausted Ryan in his arms. “Sweetheart, everyone was so scared in the castle. Why weren't you scared at all? You didn't even give me a chance to protect you.”

Ryan: “Because I once lived in a real hell.”

1. The unbalanced social order of the insect race makes life truly miserable for female insects. It pains me deeply, so I'm writing this story to save these poor souls.

2. A defiant, immensely capable, fierce beauty of a bottom x a gentle, scheming prince of a top who always has everything under control.

Theme: You deserve to be cherished by the whole world.
