Can a Cannon Fodder Male Insect Be Reborn?

(The synopsis is written in first person; the story itself is written in third person.)

My name is Ravier. I'm the most doted-on second prince of the Federation's capital planet. I'm handsome, adored by countless female insects, and a bona fide star of the Federation.

But I'm also the vicious cannon-fodder foil to an Earth male insect in an insectoid erotic novel. Of course, I have no idea.

According to the original plan, I was supposed to marry several high-ranking female consorts and abuse them mercilessly, making a stark contrast with the Earth male insect, who treated his female consorts with tenderness. In the end, the public's outrage would land me on the gallows, while the Earth male insect would win over the entire interstellar world by doting on his spouse.

But the plan went awry, and I was forced to marry a female consort said to be from the same place as the Earth male insect.

He was jealous. He drove away the female consort I'd just bought, then imprisoned the Federation's most honored prince in a dark room without giving him so much as a bite to eat, all in the name of punishment. He was domineering. Even though he couldn't bear insect offspring, he still used his power to cling to his position as my consort. He was ambitious. Though he was a low-ranking female insect from the slums, he still used every means at his disposal to climb the ladder...

That was how other insects described him.

Of course, he had plenty of good qualities I haven't mentioned, and I'm the only one who knows them. For instance, the steak and rice he makes is delicious, especially when I'm eating vegetable salad every day to stay in shape. He tells me stories about his hometown when I go to sleep, saying it's to help me develop the right values. And he's the only insect in the world who's willing to clean up my messes...

"You're a vicious, useless male insect. Without a consort, you're nothing."

One day, my identity as a fake prince was exposed. The real second prince, the male insect protagonist who had been found and brought back, stood on the moral high ground and denounced me with righteous indignation.

The insects who had always treated me with respect all laughed at me. When things were at their worst, only my consort stood in front of me.

"My lord, I'm sorry. I made you the person you are today..."

Those were the last words my consort said in my ear before he died.

Before transmigrating, Cezar was a celebrated platinum-level author on Earth, worth hundreds of billions. His specialty was writing stories where the protagonist made a triumphant comeback by crushing vicious cannon fodder with satisfying face-slapping. The worse their fate, the happier he was as he wrote.

Then he transmigrated into the body of a female insect. One look at the male insect cannon-fodder from his own novel, and he was utterly smitten. He did everything he could to climb to the top so he could protect his little male insect.

Unfortunately, the male insect seemed not to appreciate it.

Reader's Guide:

1. This is a fictional setting unrelated to reality. Please don't draw parallels to real life.

2. It's sweet. Before rebirth, the shou dotes on the gong, and the gong unconsciously depends on the shou. After rebirth, they dote on each other. Happy ending, happy ending, happy ending!

3. The gong is selfish at first, but he'll grow and become a better person later.

4. Please be gentle with the criticism. I'm really too sensitive to take harsh comments.
