After transmigrating one day, corporate drone Yi Xingchen finds himself a little emperor bug from a small branch of the insect race.
The good news: Male bugs are treasured in insect society! He can lie flat and live off others for the rest of his life!
The bad news: He's a pea-type male bug. He's got the build of a standard male model, but even a touch is enough to make him burst into tears.
Even worse: When he turns eighteen, his little clan is invaded by the interstellar-famous Ka'endis insect race.
The Ka'endis are a bloodthirsty butterfly-type race. They seem elegant and gentlemanly on the surface, but every one of them is a terrorist in truth.
Especially their newly crowned emperor, Anle, the only 3S-level female bug in the interstellar world. He's a ruthless, cold-blooded killer who unified the six star systems with an iron fist in just twenty years.
And now this bloodthirsty female bug is standing before him, holding a knife to his throat and asking, "%$%+#%$&?"
Yi Xingchen: ...
Oh no. Since he'd been so lazy, he never learned the interstellar language that was introduced a few years ago!
He's done for!
But it's okay! He knows what to do!
His past-life experience tells him this is obviously the classic forced-marriage scenario: Little prince, you don't want your clan wiped out because of you, do you?
Yi Xingchen lowered his head in embarrassment and spread his transparent wings, fluttering them slightly.
Among the insect race, this means you're willing to accept the other person.
For a moment, the atmosphere fell into a strangely awkward silence.
That night, broken sobs came from the room: Yi Xingchen's.
The next day, Yi Xingchen woke up and found that his pea condition had actually improved a little.
Yi Xingchen: Tsk...
From then on, the pea-type male bug went down a path of no return.
Years later, when the insect race faces an apocalyptic crisis, Anle's useless canary, once hailed as the empire's delicate flower, stands up and punches the invading creature into oblivion.
The bugs all gasp. What happened to the pea-type male bug?
Yi Xingchen gives them a world-weary smile.
It took ten years of diligent effort and painstaking grinding with a pestle before he finally ground his pea into diamond...
