Wang Mai, who died from the "Rose" toxin, was reborn in a parallel world.
In this life, he chose to abandon his responsibilities as king. He only wanted to live as Meruem, an ordinary Chimera Ant, and take the girl he loved to a secluded paradise where no one could bother them, so they could enjoy the sunshine, the earth, and poetry to their hearts' content...
A childhood friend: Xiao Mai, stay alive. I'll always be in your heart!
The eldest son of a certain assassin family: Xiao Mai, marry me. Our descendants will have the most perfect genes!
The leader of a certain criminal gang: Xiao Mai, come with me. With your brains, the Spiders will be even more invincible!
A magician who had dropped his disguise: My delicious little fruit, come play with me tonight~~ Oh? Does your little boyfriend want to join in too? I don't mind the three of us having fun together!
Meruem: You humans, quit going after my canon ship! >o< #!!
Xiao Mai: Lord Meruem seems to have hit puberty.
Leorio: Did he finally confess?
Mai: No, he's become especially violent and rebellious. He didn't just smash the ring Killua's oldest brother gave me...
Leorio: A ring?!
Mai: He also started a huge fight when my new boss made me an offer. He tore up the man's only undershirt, so my boss had to take the subway home wearing nothing under his leather coat.
Leorio: What kind of broke-ass boss only has one undershirt and takes the subway ho...
Mai: Oh, right. He's also become really sensitive and suspicious! A few days ago, he challenged the Heaven's Arena floor master to a fight. The other guy was so excited he took his clothes off, but Meruem dragged me away. Then he started saying all sorts of incomprehensible things, like "So what if he glows?" and "I can be 190 too, 19+..."
Leorio: Wait a second. How can you tell he's 19+...
Mai: So, all things considered, Lord Meruem definitely has a problem!
Leorio: Who's the one with a problem here?!
[Reading Tips]
1) Former titles: Is the Commander-in-Chief Lying Flat Today?; Stop Now, Amu
2) A slow-burn progression story. The king is reborn as an ordinary Chimera Ant, and Mai starts learning Nen from scratch. They grow stronger later on.
3) One-on-one romance, but one of them is an emotionless, single-minded nonhuman and the other is completely immune to romance. It'll take a long time for them to get together.
If you also like a helping of cold male lead, head over to my friend's story, "Would You Dare Tell Gon to His Face That There's Nothing Between Us?" The male lead is Ging~
P.S. Thanks to Ayasa for the cover illustration.

[Chrollo x The 180-Point Love Slave]
Chrollo woke up to find that his soul had transmigrated into the body of a sexy woman.
The good news: Water Divination showed that this woman wasn't ordinary. She was a powerful Manipulation-type Nen user.
Wonderful! Even if he had lost his thief's skill book and his soul was trapped forever in this unfamiliar body, as long as he was still a Nen user, his brilliant mind would let him quickly master his new body's abilities and reclaim everything that belonged to him!
The bad news: After trying it out in a real fight, he discovered that this woman's Nen Ability let her control every man she kissed...
Chrollo "Fiery Red Lips, Voluptuous Curves, Sky-High Heels" Lucilfer: ???
-
Reborn just hours before she was killed, Fei Jie first escaped the auction house, then found a friend whose Nen Ability was soul transfer and asked her to find a new body so she could escape the Phantom Troupe's pursuit.
Fei Jie: You have to give me an identity that the Phantom Troupe would never kill!
Friend: No problem, leave it to me!
Fei "Retro Slicked-Back Hair, Fur-Collared Coat, Inverted Cross" Jie: ???
[A silly little body-swap story born from the author's twisted sense of humor. Their bodies will switch back later.]
Theme: Let us roam the world together, living as freely as we please.
After the king appears, the sense of security doubles... This is boyfriend power!! In comparison, Ilmi is like a dark and damp water ghost, poking at everyone secretly with a lotus leaf on his head.
Very good, no time to mourn, now comes the big cockroach (shouting)!
Here comes the beautiful fly man (no) hahahahahaha I can't forget his skill King of Flies, it looks weird and cute when paired together
Hahahahahahahaha I'm going to die laughing hahahaha
It feels so Versailles. Damn it, hurry up and let money and power corrupt me. I want to eat different delicacies every day, earn money from games and novels, sleep until I wake up naturally every day, and travel.
This hunter exam is basically Hisoka's Happy Farm 🐶
Fuck you, Leorio, you think so deeply. Can Peng Si survive this time?
Cat! I only have cats in my eyes!
I finished watching it in one go. The interaction between the young couple was super cute. I look forward to the follow-up. I love you so much😘
I really like Wang Mai... I feel much better after reading it. The author writes very well.
