[A nontraditional insectoid story with female-inferior, male-superior dynamics. A survival-of-the-fittest society, where you must stand on your own, fight to survive, and earn your own status.]
.
When Lu Wu learned that male insects could be assigned a rich, handsome wife to support them, he was starving to death... and grinned so widely his mouth nearly split to the back of his head.
At last, the heavens were spoon-feeding him a life of leisure.
But the first obstacle he encountered on his way to live off his wife left him terrified and questioning his life.
.
"What?! I wake up hard and in pain every morning, and you're telling me I'm impotent, have dead sperm, and am an infertile, castrated E-grade waste of a male insect?!"
"No, not E-grade."
"Ha! I knew I couldn't be impotent. Tell me, where did the test go wrong?"
"No, you don't even qualify as E-grade. We took pity on you and gave you the lowest rank to preserve the reputation of male insects."
Lu Wu: "..." I've been castrated. What's the point of preserving my reputation?
.
The sky was falling! He was devastated!
How could anyone transmigrate and end up being castrated?
He was starving. Was he going to be the first transmigrator to starve to death right after arriving?
No! Life is precious!
Lu Wu, refugee, undocumented, earning nine cents a day as a laborer, starving and desperate to live off a wife, but disqualified because he was castrated: "...Looks like I'll have to rely on my own strength."
.
If he can't be a kept pet, then he'll be a tiger of a CEO!
.
He'll build infrastructure and get rich, form a choir of insect children, set up a tiny toilet-paper workshop, and stream videos as a "male bodhisattva" to draw viewers and sell goods. He'll activate the System to create energy mines, get rich, buy warships and weapons to fight off interstellar invaders, expand factories, repair trade routes to attract merchants, open all kinds of schools, create jobs, and revitalize the economy of a deserted mining planet. Lu Wu will live up to his name as a rich second-generation heir, rise to the top, marry into the family of a powerful, handsome military female-insect general, and fall in love with his wife after an arranged marriage.
.
Of course, he did use a few little tricks to get close to his wife.
.
For example:
#Male Bodhisattva's Wet-Shirt Seduction#
#A Waste-of-Space Male Insect Goes Online as a Male Bodhisattva, Drawing Viewers and Selling Goods to Get Rich#
#Gets Rich, Attracts Covetous Eyes, Finds Protection by Contractually Marrying a Military Female-Insect General#
#His General Wife Fights on the Front Lines While the Useless Male Insect Stays Behind to Build Infrastructure#
#Whatever My Wife Wants, I Give Her. Whatever My Wife Lacks, I Buy Her#
#My Wife's Shy, So I'm Direct. My Wife's Forceful, So I'm Gentle#
.
"Love him."
"Go against instinct."
"Love him."
Licus Theodosi, general of the Thorn Legion in the Ninth Star Sector, a male-insect praying mantis species, and claimant to the throne, to the love of his life
.
A resourceful, money-making top who'll do anything, even become a male bodhisattva online, for a life of leisure, x a powerful praying mantis female-insect bottom who's merciless to himself and even more ruthless to enemy insects
.
.
PS: Top-focused, happy ending, love after marriage, 1v1, both virgins, strong top and strong bottom. The top adheres to traditional male virtues; he only films videos to draw viewers and doesn't show anything that wouldn't pass censorship. (Even if he did, I wouldn't tell you, hehe.)
Theme: Life is precious. Don't give up easily.
What a real hungry ghost reincarnated
"The Great Sacrifice of Survival Wisdom" is a big bug for the author~ Taboo [comparison of hearts] [comparison of hearts]
"I've never had enough to eat" is a big bug for the author~ There is an extra word "no", which means the opposite meaning [rose][]
