The Zerg Male Lord's Repayment

As a boy, Albert was caught in a war-torn city by accident. When he was in danger, a military female descended from the sky and saved him. Afterward, the military female stayed by his side. Whenever Albert was afraid, he would gently hold him and comfort him. But after Albert was sent to a safe zone and woke from a nap, the military female was nowhere to be found. Albert never heard from him again, and was left with no chance to repay his kindness. Albert returned to his pampered life as a male insect, and the accident even caused his mental strength to soar from Grade D to Grade S, making him one of the rare and highly esteemed male insects in insect society. The revelation left everyone stunned. But for years, he suffered from postwar psychological trauma. Without the military female by his side, he could barely sleep at night. The lack of sleep left him with splitting headaches and made him gloomy and irritable. Albert's scumbag father could clearly tell that his once-obedient son had changed. He used to enjoy whipping his female attendants and slaves from time to time. But now Albert told him he was too noisy, then slapped him hard across the face again and again. From then on, his household became famous far and wide as a harmonious family. Whenever a spoiled male insect acted arrogant and abusive, Albert would simply lay into him, slapping him across the face several times. From then on, the spoiled male insects were forced to turn over a new leaf and keep their heads down. Albert never stopped trying to find the insect who had saved him. He eventually made his way into a military academy, but for years he found no clues at all. Then a minor family sent him a female slave to curry favor with him. The slave had supposedly been on the verge of being promoted to major general in the military. He should have been Albert's superior, yet now he knelt obediently at Albert's feet, bending the back he had once held straight. Angry at him for debasing himself, Albert lifted the slave's chin with disgust, only to discover a face he knew down to his bones, one he had missed every day. After all those years of searching in vain, Albert unexpectedly reunited with the military female who had left without a word, in circumstances like these. Just when Youlaia had believed he was doomed to fall into the abyss, salvation arrived in the midst of his utter despair. Albert had found the benefactor who let him sleep peacefully, and finally had the chance to repay him. Only, gratitude gradually changed into a passionate, burning love. Albert (gong) x Youlaia (shou) Reader's Guide: 1. Their feelings are mutual, and they only fall in love after meeting again. 2. Repaying the debt of gratitude does not mean marriage, and they do not marry to repay it. Their gratitude does, however, turn into love. 3. Both leads are from this world. Neither is weak, neither is a moral paragon, and neither is a perfect protagonist. 4. Please note: this is a fictional, alternate setting with no connection to reality. Do not apply it to real life!
