The Sickly Female Zerg Pretends to Be Useless Every Day

A seemingly frail but actually healthy, lazy, sly, and scheming top x a seemingly aloof but actually pure-hearted, powerful bottom

[Important Content Warning] Female insect top and female insect bottom (though, well, Yeye isn't exactly a pure female insect. I'll explain in the story later). 1v1, pure romance, no switching or breaking them up. A shameless, deceitful top and a strong bottom who's always helpless against him. The career plot takes priority over the romance. The career plot gets a little angsty, while the romance is pure sweetness.

In the year 8076 of the interstellar calendar, the media ran a headline about a scandal that shook the entire Imperial Capital. The female insect Fei Lian of the Feilia family had mysteriously given birth to a sickly female insect without marrying or mating with a male insect, then disappeared without a trace.

The famed Feilia family, renowned for its military achievements, had produced a once-in-a-century failure. The story had long been the talk of the Imperial Capital, to the point that it tarnished the military reputation of General Hoxis, once Fei Lian's most beloved student.

As the youngest member of the family, an E-grade female insect burdened with a terrible reputation, Fei Ye had never been wanted by anyone since birth. The lofty and illustrious Feilia family considered him and his missing female parent a disgrace. His genetic tests not only showed that he suffered from a serious physical illness, but also that his veins resisted mental-power repair fluid. He was destined to be a useless female insect for the rest of his life.

His birth had brought shame upon the family. When he was seven, the family head ordered him cast out onto a trash planet to fend for himself. For ten years, he survived by relying on his face, prettier than even an androgynous insect's, and his incredibly powerful ability to act cute. With his friends' help, he just barely managed to stay alive. The harsh climate of that gloomy trash planet was difficult for any insect to endure. During one solo trip to collect scrap metal and ore, Fei Ye was knocked unconscious and bundled aboard a warship.

Fei Ye: Was I captured by space pirates? (Looks up at the sky) The heavens want me dead!

A tall, mysterious female insect approached him with a cold expression. The laser weapon at his waist seemed ready to fire. Fei Ye timidly wrapped himself in his blanket, leaving only his head exposed. The insect took off his white gloves, crouched in front of him, and gently brushed a finger against his dirty cheek.

"Hello, I'm Hoxis, a lieutenant general in the Second Army of Atlantis."

"From now on, I'll be entirely in charge of your physical combat training."

Fei Ye: "Uh, can we talk about this? Why don't you just drop me back where you found me?"

As a useless female insect who couldn't hit a bullseye with a dart, got winded after running three laps, and often needed medicine just to stay alive, Fei Ye knew his limits. He had good reason to slack off, and his uselessness was entirely understandable. Following the principle of admitting defeat rather than getting hurt, he cleverly avoided danger time and again, and came last in his academy class for several years in a row.

But when the empire stood on the brink of destruction, a curtain of light fell from the sky. Amid the vast sea of stars, a frail female insect with long golden hair bravely stepped forward. Standing at the very front of the warship, he led those unknown, low-ranking civilian insects whom nobody had ever believed in, and turned to face the powerful enemy behind them.

Fei Ye: "I may die today, but the imperial flame will never go out."

[Content Warnings]

1. Female insect top and female insect bottom. Strong top, physically weak. There's a minor background bottom, but it's not a big deal. The story mainly follows the top's career, and it's medium to long in length.

2. The top is a wolf in sheep's clothing. He acts timid at first and would rather lie down than stand. He's a shameless, deceitful little insect who uses cuteness to get his way, and is adorable (the kind who wears his hair in braids. I imagined it and he really does look like Rapunzel, haha).

3. I've changed some aspects of the bottom's background. He's not very important as a background character, but I've made changes to prevent certain nonhuman things from exploiting loopholes. The story mainly follows our darling Yeye as he grows from a child scavenging for scrap on a polluted wasteland planet into a top military leader. What an inspiring insect life!

4. The story favors the top. No extreme character devotees.

5. This is a fictional world. Please don't connect it to reality!
