Can Jumping Spiders Be Raised on an Exile Planet?

Lu Mai transmigrated into an abandoned experimental subject.

The researchers were shocked, because this subject had been confirmed dead.

They decided to send the monster who had come back from the dead to a penal colony for observation.

Lu Mai found an eight-legged friend in her cell.

She had been terrified of bugs, but seeing a familiar creature in another world made her feel close to it.

She decided to register the little spider as her pet, to keep her company through her long sentence.

However,

when she tried to reduce her sentence by passing an exam, the spider frantically hinted at the right answers.

When she was tossed into a mecha camp as cannon fodder, the spider calmly directed the battle from the control panel.

Lu Mai knew this was no ordinary spider.

What she didn't know was that this extraordinary spider watched her every day, plotting how to take back its body.

[Special Experimental Subject 678]

Possesses exceptional intelligence and combat talent, is hostile toward humans, and has a strong desire to destroy.

To prevent it from reproducing and reduce its aggression, it was modified into a sexless individual before undergoing various biological experiments.

Experiment One... complete.

Experiment Two... complete.

Experiment... failed. Special Experimental Subject 678 died.

Special Experimental Subject 678 revived after a state of apparent death. It has lost its previous level of intelligence and combat talent, is friendly toward humans, and shows no obvious desire to destroy.

The special experimental subject has been registered under the name Lu Mai and sent to Penal Colony N21 for observation.

Prisoner OA7W: good conduct.

My next planned novel is The Consort Who Was Ordered to Marry Me Is Willing to Help Me Rebel. Please add it to your collection~

Blurb:

She is a princess who starts out a little unruly.

Hearing of the people's suffering and the hardships of daily life, she studies government administration and provides disaster relief and aid to the poor.

But people call her a hypocrite.

Hearing that foreign tribes are invading and the borders are under threat, she studies military texts and trains in martial arts.

But people say it's pointless.

As she grows up, she learns that even a princess is merely a tool of imperial power.

For example, in the emperor's eyes, her marriage is just a pair of shackles, meant to bind a top scholar whose marriage he will not permit.

So she obediently marries, obediently bears a child, and becomes the good princess her father wants.

One day, she suddenly tells her consort, "I'm going to usurp the throne."

Her consort replies, "Then I'll handle logistics."

When the emperor chooses a husband for a top scholar straight from the exam results, is it a blessing or a curse for the scholar?

Becoming a princess's consort is practically the same as giving up one's career in government.

He has ambitions yet to fulfill and a vengeance yet to claim. He cannot spend his life as a powerless consort.

But fate is unpredictable. Who could have guessed that the princess he was to marry had once saved his life when he was at his lowest?

How could he fail to repay that debt?

*

There seems to be a misunderstanding between them. Each thinks that a marriage ordered by the emperor can hardly be called love.

But as time passes, it's hard to tell whether their relationship is indifference or unspoken understanding

They never seem to need many words between them.

Just as she once saved him without asking why, now he too can stand by her without asking why, and join her in defying the whole world.
