Chen Xingjiu, a seasoned player in love, woke up in the insect world after transmigrating, becoming a male insect whose playboy ways were about to catch up with him.
In other insects' eyes, he was courteous and refined, elegant and dignified, a truly popular heartthrob. But in secret, he was keeping four lovers on the hook.
All four were important figures: a renowned, iron-blooded general; a powerful chief financial officer; His Highness Leno, the empire's first heir apparent; and, unbelievably, a pirate chief known for hating males.
After learning who his four lovers were, Chen Xingjiu gave up and let fate take its course.
The System panicked: You're about to go on a dating reality show with all four of them!
Chen Xingjiu: I'll show you how to keep everyone equally happy.
On the first day of filming, the contestants had to choose their crush.
Under the watchful, hostile stares of all the other contestants, Chen Xingjiu immediately chose to abstain. Just as expected, every contestant chose him.
That night, when he returned to his room, Chen Xingjiu wasn't surprised when an insect slipped inside. The warm breath of the female insect brushed his ear. "Ajiu, why didn't you choose me?"
Chen Xingjiu caressed the female insect's cheek, his voice playful. "Because you didn't show off your skills in front of the other contestants!"
The female insect knelt before him and kissed the back of his hand. "I'll make sure you can choose me openly and proudly."
As soon as the first female insect left, a second one knocked on the door.
His Highness Leno stood before him with a plate of dessert. "You hardly ate anything tonight, so I made this especially for you. Want to try some?"
Chen Xingjiu: "I'm on a diet. Make something low-calorie next time."
Then he shut the door in the female insect's face without mercy, ignoring the dejected look on their face.
Before he could finish the dessert, a third female insect climbed in through the window.
Before Chen Xingjiu could tell which lover it was, he was pulled into an embrace scented with cedar. A smooth chin rubbed against his neck as the man's voice turned seductive. "Xingjiu, I've missed you so much. I've missed your lips, your warmth, your..."
He grabbed the female insect's mischievous hand and breathed into their ear. The completely inexperienced female insect's legs went weak from his teasing...
Partway through filming, Chen Xingjiu was exposed for having been intimate with every contestant he had chosen as a crush. Just as the audience thought this popular heartthrob was finally about to get caught...
The four lovers, now aware of the truth, fought tooth and nail for the position of his primary spouse.
Chen Xingjiu, the insect at the center of it all, leisurely watched the show from the sidelines.
