Campbell was just an ordinary human fighting alien invaders.

But when he woke up, he had become a being second only to the high-ranking insect emperor.

He had a new species, a new identity, and a silver-haired female insect who had been made his slave wife?

Nois had been stripped of his rights and position and sentenced to become a lowly female slave.

He could tell that his male master didn't like him.

Slave or convict, it didn't matter. As long as he could stay by the king insect's side, Nois didn't care what his status was.

Campbell thought he would take out his anger over the aliens enslaving and harming humans on this former insect general.

But he couldn't.

The pure-hearted little king insect, pretending to be cruel, didn't know that

by day, Nois was a docile, obedient female slave, but once his master fell asleep, he would casually pry open the collar around his neck, remove his tracker, and slip out of the house.

“General, our people are scattered all across the city. Just give the word, and his power will be no more!”

“Good. Excellent.”

The silver-haired female insect leaned against the wall and lit a cigarette. Just as it neared his lips, he seemed to remember something and abruptly turned his hand, pressing the cigarette out against the wall.

“General, your subordinates say that once this is done, we should cut off that little king insect's limbs and toss him into space to feed the alien beasts.”

“What did you say?”

“He is my, Nois Wenge's, male master. Who dares?”

As the empire underwent a great upheaval, the insects frantically wrote to the military, nominating King Insect Campbell as the new insect emperor.

The socially anxious little king insect clung to his female insect and said tearfully, “Help me. I don't want to be the insect emperor. I want to stay home doing nothing and leech off my wife...”

“Do you want to leech off me?” Nois wrapped an arm around his male insect's waist, making it easier for his master to “leech” off his chest.

A laid-back, slightly introverted little king insect who's good at playing a part x a ruthless, lovesick military insect commander, the one on the receiving end

[Upcoming novel: The Substitute Bride of the Powerful Sentinel's Canary]

Blurb: Shen Zhiyu woke up in a completely unfamiliar and brutal post-apocalyptic world, and had become the unlucky guy being sent as a substitute bride to some tyrant.

What are sentinels? What are guides? Is he even still on Earth?

He didn't want to face mutated monsters, or go hungry and sleep badly.

Better to cling to the powerful guy's leg and be a well-kept “canary” in his home.

Wait, something's wrong. How did he end up acting himself into the role?

Lu Zhi carried a burden no ordinary person could imagine. His mental landscape was in ruins, and he was irritable and violent beyond his control.

Few of the guides who provided him with mental counseling came away unscathed.

Yet some reckless little thing dared to match with him.

Lu Zhi originally planned to find a chance to send this unfortunate substitute bride away from the main city.

But the little thing was afraid of alien beasts, afraid of not getting enough to eat, afraid of not sleeping on a soft bed, and afraid of not having clean water.

He clung to Lu Zhi's leg and begged him not to send him away.

Softening his heart, Lu Zhi let the little thing stay by his side.

Softening his heart, Lu Zhi let the little thing into his bed, where he climbed on top of him.

Shen Zhiyu is clearly talented and capable, but insists on being Lu Zhi's kept canary...

A short scene:

Holding a red rose his sentinel had picked outside the base, Shen Zhiyu narrowed his eyes at the guides gathered around him. “Do you know how great it is to be the pampered husband of a powerful man?”

“Guides should stay home and wait for their sentinels. Once the sentinels return from a mission, the guides should provide mental counseling to ease their sentinel's mental and ‘physical’ stress.”

The other guides, who had come to learn from a high-ranking guide, exchanged glances.

Anyone who believed him was a fool.

They had personally seen this beautiful high-ranking guide smile as he made a dark sentinel snap his own neck.
