Noah is a defective insect living on a garbage planet. He has no beautiful scale wings or strong body, so he can only sneak out after the nearby females have eaten their fill and pick up expired nutrient fluids they don't want.
One day, while out looking for nutrient fluids with his dirty face, he finds a strong, healthy military male, one who doesn't belong in the underground city.
A vicious scar stretches across the military male's face, making him look like a wanted criminal. Noah quietly steals the nutrient supplements he has on him and runs off, but halfway there he sighs and struggles to carry the bloodied insect back to his miserable hovel.
I'll raise him as a bodyguard! he tells himself.
But he has forgotten the first rule of scavenging: never pick up anything alive!

The name Arland Sutis symbolizes victory. The Empire's "Obsidian Blade" has led his legion to victory after victory, yet his extreme views on male insects and arrogant personality have repeatedly drawn criticism.
On the first day after faking his death and landing on the garbage planet, a male insect takes him home.
This male is thin and weak, with nutrient fluid in his mouth that even a dog wouldn't touch. He knows so little about life that it's appalling, and he's a fool who doesn't even know his own sex.
Arland watches with interest as the male, who has always been surrounded by people fawning over him, fusses over him with bedtime lullabies and oddly stitched clothes...
A male insect treating a female insect like a god. How amusing.
But Arland never expected that his initial amusement would become a habit, and habits are the most frightening things in the world.

The royal family's only male heir was stolen during the "incident." No insect was willing to remember that bloody day. The frenzied Darenels crushed every rebel into pulp, but still failed to recover the Empire's lost treasure.
Until the Emperor himself arrived at the Obsidian Legion's base. A starship came crashing down like a meteor. The moment its hatch opened, a frail, blood-soaked insect held a quarry dozens of times larger than himself in one hand and hurled it at Arland, his eyes cold.
"Is this game fun, Arland?"
They watched helplessly as the figure dropped straight down. The royal family's distinctive red markings appeared, and a torrent of male pheromones swept over the entire base.
The usually arrogant general's eyes were bloodshot. His ever-sneering face looked like a shattered mirror. His hand trembled as he clutched the male insect's hand. It was the first time Arland Sutis had ever shown fear.
"I... didn't, my lord, I..."
He carefully pressed a kiss to that broken body...

The hero of the Battle of Armando was an unknown military male, but on the same day the great war was won, two pieces of news spread throughout the country.
First, the long-missing Lord Noah Darenel had been found.
Second, General Arland Sutis's fourth marriage proposal had been rejected.
The public: Wait, whose marriage proposal?
A sunny, introverted male heir who grows cold and withdrawn × an arrogant general who treats everything as a joke at first, then becomes a gloomy wreck when his feelings are shattered
P.S.:
The top's split personality is caused by an illness and will eventually merge. He's an atypical strong top. His illness and developmental issues make him weak at first, but his combat strength will soar later.
The bottom has a terrible personality and doesn't realize he's in love, so there will be a groveling arc.
Theme: Overcome yourself and move forward bravely
