After Raising a Salted-Fish, Adorable Female Zerg

A devoted power couple: the laid-back, gorgeous male insect x the workaholic, pitiful female insect

Lamir spent his whole life as a workaholic, only to discover he had a terminal illness just as he achieved success. He had little time left.

As he waited to die, he immersed himself in a life-simulation game, controlling the protagonist's life and guiding him to become the person Lamir wanted him to be.

But he didn't die. Instead, he caught the eye of a System called [Emperor Simulator], which bound itself to him and transmigrated him to the insect world, demanding that he play a real-life insect-raising game.

System: Every point of renown the protagonist gains will extend your lifespan by one hour.

Countdown: 72:00:00

Lamir: Then I'll raise a new workaholic and lie flat while enjoying life.

At the female insect slave market, every female insect was trying hard to sell herself. Only one frail female insect, curled up in a corner, remained unmoved.

His flesh was rotting, his arms and legs were broken, and one of his eyes was blind.

The one black eye he had left was like an abyss, hollow and numb.

Lamir: Raising the most wretched, lowly insect into the supreme emperor is a real challenge!

Lamir settled down with the female insect, repairing his body and honing his abilities. Together, they built renown, recruited troops, and seized territory.

He watched him grow rapidly and rise to the pinnacle of power.

Lamir: Hehe, now I can finally lie flat for good.

Wait, why isn't my mission complete?!

The female insect, clad in armor, gazed at him with reverence and carefully placed a crown on Lamir's head.

You are the one who deserves supreme glory.

Lamir: Not hehe.

Theme: Rowing upstream: stop moving forward and you'll fall behind
