Zhou Ye was a killer without a shred of feeling.

He accepted jobs with absolutely no scruples, caring only about the pay, and at one point became the richest person in his line of work.

But his good fortune didn't last. Thanks to the insect race's newly enacted currency law, all the savings he'd accumulated over the years vanished into thin air, forcing him out of retirement to find work again.

When the Blue Star Security Bureau came to find Zhou Ye, he was killing fish at RT-Mart.

The old director, weeping openly, offered him a job:

Assassinate the insect race's chief financial officer and cripple the economic lifeline funding their war.

The target was an insect with blue hair, golden eyes, and beautiful wings like a Helena morpho butterfly: Ling Huai'ante.

Zhou Ye: "…"

Wasn't this the bastard who'd introduced the new currency law?

Ling Huai'ante was the insect race's current finance minister.

As head of the empire's most powerful financial clan, Ling was shrewd, decisive, and ruthless.

Yet even the most heartless female insect had a soft spot in her heart. Ling had a secret: when his psychic powers first awakened as a youth, his spirit had once left his body and wandered, and he had forged a true-love bond with someone of another race.

After waking, Ling poured countless resources and manpower into searching, but could never find the planet where his beloved lived.

Then one day, summoned by the insect race's ruler, Ling traveled to a planet called Blue Star to take charge of its finances.

Ling got off to a bad start. On his very first day on Blue Star, he was ambushed. His attacker was none other than his true love, who valued money above all else.

"You old..."

The handsome human he'd not seen in seven years looked exactly as he had before, sharpening his knife with a menacing rasp. "You old geezer, pay me back!"

Ling: "…QAQ"
