I Took Home a Stranded Zerg Queen

[My next story will be about Kelian. The blurb is at the end, and there are other delicious upcoming stories in my author profile. Take a look if you're interested!]

As a model young professional in the twenty-first century, Lin Nuo was always busy with work and devoted to his career. After his company finally went public, Lin Nuo found life suddenly boring without a goal to strive for.

But can someone tell him how he actually transmigrated just because he casually remarked at a party, trying to sound impressive, "Life is so boring"?

System: "My Host is from the Zerg race, but he's extremely fond of ancient Earth's civilization. After completing his mission, the reward he asked for was a chance to live on Earth. We happened to detect that you didn't want to live, so we arranged for you and my Host to go to each other's worlds."

Lin Nuo: ???

No, he was just bragging offhand. Couldn't you have asked the other person for consent before swapping your lives?

System: "Of course, your quality of life won't decline. You're a precious high-ranking male. Respect and admiration will always be yours. And since you're an orphan, you won't have to conform to the original host's personality. We'll also deposit 300,000 star coins into your account in one lump sum."

So Lin Nuo reluctantly accepted, transforming into the male Xeyne. He planned to immerse himself in the Zerg world and enjoy a wonderful new life, with everything going his way.

However...

The female Zerg he fell in love with at first sight said, "Sorry, I already have a male master."

The sub-female at the female slave exchange said, "This female slave costs 150,000 star coins. His previous male master won't allow us to lower the price."

And to top it all off, raising female Zerg required a huge daily expenditure of star coins. Lin Nuo was already broke after just a few days.

Lin Nuo regretted it. Lin Nuo felt deeply cheated. Lin Nuo missed his publicly traded company. But...

Once everything had settled, Xiwen, who had regained his confidence under Lin Nuo's careful care, looked at him tenderly, his eyes full of love. "Male Master, I love you. I would offer you all my loyalty. My body and soul are yours to command."

Lin Nuo: !!! Who regrets this is a puppy. I'm choosing Xeyne! I am Xeyne, through and through!

Gentle, protective top & beautiful, strong, tragic bottom. Happy ending, both virgins.

At its core, this is a traditional Zerg-world healing romance with a sweet ending. No gender equality (because the top only wants to dote on his wife and has no grand ambitions), and there are egg-laying scenes.

Friendly discussion is welcome. No accusations, snide remarks, or writing advice, please. The writing and logic are amateurish, so be careful about buying several chapters at once. I'm neither a top stan nor a bottom stan, so be cautious if you only want a top's perspective. If this hits a sensitive spot for you, please just drop the story without telling me.

There are headcanons, and the setting is fictional and unrelated to reality. Please don't draw parallels to real life!

Thank you all for your love and company. A bow!

Here's a preview of my next story, "How Did My Difficult Rival Become My Female Lord?" If you're interested, please add it to your favorites!

Blurb:

Raised under the watchful care of his female parent and older female sibling, Kelian grew up to be the model native male of the empire. He was handsome and refined, high-born, and always courteous, drawing countless female Zerg and sub-female Zerg who threw themselves at him in hopes of seducing him.

But he alone couldn't get along with Leia, a friend of his older sibling, who never gave him a kind look.

He'd never met such an unreasonable sub-female!

Leia, a gentle doctor renowned across the empire for his medical skills, was born into nobility. At the military hospital, he'd seen countless male Zerg behave violently.

He'd heard a lot about his friend Xiwen's younger male sibling, but figured it was just his friend's bias.

Just look at him: picking a fight with a group of female Zerg and smearing cake all over his own face?

When Xiwen got into trouble, Kelian offered to help, though Leia was reluctant to accept.

But Kelian really did manage to uncover a few useful clues.

Fine, sharing a little information wasn't much of a bother. Besides, having this childish little male Zerg tag along every day was kind of a nuisance.

Leia lifted his chin. "Fine, I agree. Go home and wait for news. Forget helping out. If a precious male Zerg gets hurt, I'll be the one who suffers for it."

Kelian scoffed. "Who do you think you're looking down on? You might be the one begging me for information."

Leia gave him a scornful laugh. "Rely on you? It's the middle of the day, and the little male Zerg hasn't woken up from his nap yet?"

Kelian was so angry he nearly choked on his words. "If that day ever comes, don't you dare take back what you said about begging me!"

One day, after visiting the witness Kelian had found, Leia was about to leave when Kelian grabbed his wrist.

"I'm just a little male Zerg, so I assume a big Zerg like you keeps his word."

Kelian leaned close to Leia's ear, a mischievous smile flashing in his golden eyes. "I've given you this information in advance. What are you going to give me in return?"

Leia's face was faintly red, whether from anger or embarrassment. His mouth opened and closed several times before he finally muttered two reluctant words.

Kelian suddenly had only one thought:

Oh no, why do I want to kiss him?

Bonus scene:

Kelian: "Once I've come of age and completed my awakening, we'll register our marriage. Regardless of whether the law or the Male Protection Association allows it, you'll be my female lord."

Before long, the news spread across every street and alley in the empire, leaving everyone stunned: "Big news! The empire's most famous pair of rivals are about to get together?"

"What is this new genre? Yesterday you couldn't stand me, and tomorrow we're a family?"
