Zhuo An woke up one day reborn as a male insect.
He inherited the original owner's crimes of selfishness, cruelty, and arrogance, as well as evidence of having framed his female spouse.
He did not commit these acts, but he must bear their consequences, or he will be branded a heretic and sent to the gallows.
With so much information missing, Zhuo An has no choice but to act cautiously and avoid giving himself away.
But just as he thinks he has finally escaped his predicament, he discovers he is mired in an even deeper quagmire.
His seemingly gentle and considerate female spouse is hiding a secret.
Beneath the kingdom's glittering surface, undercurrents are surging.
Even his memories, identity, and soul may not be real.
Love is patient, love is kind...
God's counsel to His people: He laid down rules and sheltered all living things.
Countless believers built magnificent churches for Him, and faint holy hymns praised His great deeds.
He honored this covenant, and entered death.
Countless years later, He awoke once more and heard an echo deep within His soul. Two different consciousnesses battled inside His mind, awaiting the ultimate victor.
Content warnings and notes:
One-on-one romance, with both leads sexually inexperienced.
Though fundamentally a sweet romance and a story of redemption, both leads will face setbacks. Their path will not be smooth.
The villains in this story are truly awful, but they are necessary to the plot.
The protagonist transmigrates into the body of someone who was a thoroughly rotten, awful insect. So at first, he has to slowly change how the other insects see him. He can't start off all sweet with his spouse right away.
This is not an entirely insect-focused story, and other species exist. Female insects can look either masculine or feminine. If other unusual worldbuilding details come up, consider them the author's own additions.
Theme: Love belongs to both people. Only by giving to each other can they find redemption
