[Blurb]

After transmigrating into an unknown universe as its only queen, Tao Churan should have been cherished by all, married to one or more rich and handsome royal consorts, ruled over countless subjects, achieved great things, and left her mark on the history of the universe.

...But her path to the throne ended at the very first hurdle, before it had even begun: making eye contact with someone.

At her birth, she was surrounded by wolves. The greed and anticipation in their eyes were so blatantly obvious that Tao Churan couldn't help lowering her head and looking away.

From then on, she never dared to raise her head again.

If she couldn't even look people in the eye, giving orders and governing the realm were out of the question. Yet countless subjects dreamed of speaking to the queen, or even touching her. They longed for her gaze, building a cage of rude advances, obsession, and adoration that made her life unbearable. After enduring a daily livestream of her private life for all her subjects to watch, her used personal items becoming prizes and collectibles for her attendants, and the threat of universal chaos if she didn't cuddle up to high-ranking citizens... and many other incomprehensible things, Tao Churan felt her social anxiety getting noticeably worse.

“My queen, look at me...”

Night after night, whenever she was jolted awake by burning gazes and delusional murmurs, Tao Churan only grew more determined to refuse the crown.

They say that in a catastrophe millions of years ago, humanity vanished, while plants and animals gained intelligence. But as nonhuman creatures, their newly born humanity was often overwhelmed by their animal instincts. Endless slaughter and chaos blotted out the sky, never ceasing. So the Tree of Life rose from the earth and bore fruit, within which their queen was nurtured: the hope that would end all their pain and madness.

...It sounds like this world can't do without its queen, but if Tao Churan weren't so socially anxious and surrounded by so many obsessive stalkers, she wouldn't want to quit and run away.

After three years of keeping her head down and enduring humiliation, Tao Churan finally escaped the luxurious cage of the royal capital. As expected, the professional queen-catching team, led by the five ultimate obsessive stalkers, was soon on her trail.

To deal with the lunatics who kept chasing her, the queen taught herself how to make promises she had no intention of keeping.

“I left the palace for everyone's sake. Don't worry, I'll be back in a year at most.”

“If you just keep your distance, I won't be scared anymore.”

“Be good, and I might like you. Don't you want me to like you?”

Her promises worked like a charm. But why did the team hunting her seem to keep getting bigger?

To avoid being dragged back and cuddled, the socially anxious queen is still doing her best to escape today!

My own take on the universe, with very little worldbuilding;

The heroine is adored by everyone, and is terrible at fighting, but has maxed out the tech tree;

A love-rival battlefield everywhere, with an open ending.

Jiang Lan transmigrated.

In this life, she was unlucky: blindness and a limp meant she could only go out near her home. But she was also lucky to have a father, mother, and older brother who loved her and didn't mind her disabilities. Even though her whole world was just their little home, she never found it too hard to bear.

Her mother's “nutritional liquid” had tasted the same for over a decade. Her father always gave a quiet gasp and tensed up whenever she ate. Her older brother was determined to make her wear the clothes he made. Her parents and brother seemed to constantly argue over who would take care of her... There was a lot she didn't understand, but after dying from overwork at a 996 job, Jiang Lan treasured this life of having everything brought to her.

Then one day, when she was close to starving to death, she heard the sound of wings beating.

A man lifted her face and fed her a flavor she had never tasted before. Then he told her, “My queen, those three guilty insects by your side are the ones responsible for your disabilities. You should return to the royal court and become the true queen of the insect race.”

Jiang Lan: Huh???

The customs here were a little strange, but hadn't she transmigrated into an ordinary modern alternate world???

After seeing the incredible diversity of species, the blind, disabled young woman eventually ascended the throne, determined to survive in this cruel world.

The bodies of the insects in this world never belong to them. In exchange for the slightest bit of charity through their mental link, they must offer everything they have to their extravagant, debauched queen. At last, the slaves who could no longer endure the oppression rose up in revolt, openly challenging the queen's authority and hunting down her minions in their struggle for freedom.

In her previous life, Jiang Lan had grown up in the sunshine as a decent young person. After studying the history of the universe, she deeply sympathized with the male insects' demands and beliefs in this life.

So, after ascending the throne, when she once again heard reports of a local rebellion, she told her ministers:

“In that case, I will sever my mental link with everyone. From now on, you won't feel my presence, and I won't bind you anymore.”

Suddenly, she felt an arm tighten around her waist. Today, her “older brother” was taking care of her.

“You'll support me, right, big brother? Wait, why are you trembling?”

My own take on the insect race, with mountains of headcanon.

The father, mother, and older brother in the blurb are unrelated to the heroine; she simply misunderstands who they are.

The heroine is adored by everyone, and the ending will very likely be open.

Theme: Love needs boundaries.
