The Male Insect Earns Money to Support His Family

Blurb:

(An entirely fictional setting unrelated to real life. Please don't draw parallels to reality.)

After transmigrating into an insect society where males rule over females, Qin Zhao, whose mental powers are weak, chooses to lie flat and live a life of idleness.

Unexpectedly, after an accident, he spends a passionate night with Seville, a young female major general.

Well, that's settled then: he starts a family before establishing a career, and he can't even offer a decent betrothal gift. Knowing he's in the wrong, Qin Zhao falls back on his old profession: game design.

Before that, though, he has to solve one problem: he has no money!

Seville was born a commoner and is unlike other female insects. He despises the arrogant male insects who look down on everyone, and refuses to become their primary or secondary spouse, even if it means death.

But he underestimates the vile methods those male insects will use. At a victory banquet, he is drugged and his pheromones are forcibly triggered. In the ensuing chaos, he loses his virginity to an unfamiliar male insect named Qin Zhao.

He doesn't know the man, but that doesn't stop him from becoming Qin Zhao's primary spouse because of that one night, or possibly even his secondary spouse.

Just when he's desperate, that male insect knocks on his door, asking to borrow a million and claiming he'll earn the money to support the family himself.

Seville suddenly feels as if the whole world has turned absurd.

Is this really the male insect who used to be lazy and gluttonous, spending all day indulging in wine and women?

And what's more surprising is that this male insect really does seem to know how to make money!

But... he could clearly support him himself.

- A male insect who doesn't want to live off someone else x a female insect who doesn't want to live off someone else.

- Lots of original worldbuilding. Not a career-focused story; the game elements are limited and serve the romance.

- Because of his childhood experiences, the bottom is intensely averse to male insects. He has emotional difficulties early on, but the top helps him heal later.

Upcoming story: "The Villainous Male Insect Gives Up Online"

(Already open, currently updating)

(A mischievous, loose-cannon wolfdog top x a breathtakingly beautiful insect emperor bottom who endures humiliation and bears the burden.)

Lorton is the villainous male insect in an insect-world novel. The empire's only S-rank male insect, he is arrogant and twisted, taking pleasure in abusing female insects and humiliating male insects. He even violates the protagonist top's cherished first love, the insect emperor Iswell, causing him to die in childbirth along with the baby. In the end, the protagonist top leads a rebellion against Lorton, who dies in a mental breakdown.

The moment Xie Chen receives the System's message and opens his eyes, he knows he's been set up... The golden-haired beauty beneath him has disheveled clothes, reddened eyes, and hands tied to the bedposts. The helpless way he tells him to "get away" stays deeply imprinted in Xie Chen's memory, even long, long afterward.

The insect emperor, Iswell!

Xie Chen immediately recognizes the female insect and realizes he has transmigrated into a point of no return. He's already mistreated the cherished first love. Can he possibly get along peacefully with the protagonist top?

Knowing he has no hope of a good ending, he decides to give up. He stops doing bad things, frees the insects the original character had locked up, and stops being so cruel to the beautiful insect emperor. He spends all day loafing around, teasing "cats" and "dogs," while the System races frantically around the room.

After all, if the villain stops doing his job, how is the main plot supposed to continue?

The insect Iswell hates most in the world is Lorton. An S-rank mental ability gives male insects extraordinary power and status in the empire, but Lorton only uses his for disgusting, despicable acts. When Lorton barges into his palace, Iswell feels utterly hopeless.

But after that day, he realizes Lorton has changed, as if he's become a different insect.

At the same time, a male insect senior he knew as a boy suddenly appears before him, loudly declaring that he'll defeat Lorton and save him from his misery.

Iswell rests a hand on his increasingly rounded belly, lost in confusion.

The bottom has no romantic entanglement with the protagonist top. The top simply had unrequited feelings for him when they were young.

Lots of original worldbuilding. Neither the top nor the bottom is perfect; please don't read if that bothers you.

There will be insect babies.
