An Eloping Male Zerg Loses His Memory After Falling in Love

[The Gentle Top Bugfolk Anthology is ongoing. Feel free to add it to your collection!]

[Detached, Beautiful Crowned One Top x Devoted, Dark-Skinned Black Dragon Bottom]

Wenshi Wenliang is an SSS-rank male bug, the master of the Temple, known as the Crowned One. Every bug knows he won't live past twenty.

The Crowned One has four fiancés: a rigid marshal, a violent crown prince, a smiling but scheming finance minister, and a cold-blooded research institute director. They will all consummate their bonds on the day the Crowned One comes of age, preserving the noble bloodline of male bugs.

Just as the whole world watched, Wenshi Wenliang disappeared.

Half a year later, when every bug believed Wenshi Wenliang was dead, he returned with his memories gone.

At some point, a legend began circulating among the bugs: a mysterious island held the secret to their revival.

The Temple announced that the Crowned One would soon lead an expedition to the mysterious island. The bugs cheered, praying for his triumphant return.

A dying black dragon lay motionless on the ground. Wenshi Wenliang was the only survivor nearby. The holy male bug's cinnabar mark between his brows was dazzling as he aimed his transformed psychic power at the black dragon. When the other inexplicably began to cry, he furrowed his delicate brows.

Wenshi Wenliang brought back a wicked dragon.

Not long afterward, the black dragon unexpectedly gave birth to a top-grade male bug, and the entire bug race erupted. Rumors spread, and everyone speculated about who the black dragon's male bug was.

The usually aloof Crowned One found himself face-to-face with a tiny version of himself. Wenshi Wenliang stared at the unconscious giant black dragon and fell into deep thought.

...When did I get a wife and a kid?

Revered as the Crowned One and loved by the bugfolk, Wenshi always held the revival of the bug race as his highest principle. Later, when the followers who had once worshipped him dragged him down from his altar with their own hands, the male bug came to his senses.

He was no god. He couldn't save the bug race, or a single bug.

When the god decided to leave, the bugfolk panicked.
