[Main story complete. Bonus chapters in progress.]
[My new neighboring story, The Professional O Pretending to Be an A, But Getting Found Out!, is currently updating. You're welcome to read it!]
Chi Xiao woke up one day to find he had transmigrated into the body of Theo Langston, the male spouse of the Insect Emperor.
As a serious uniform fetishist, the moment Theo laid eyes on his female spouse in a military uniform, with broad shoulders and a slim waist, his heart started pounding!
Even better, apparently they'd been married for years, lived a happy life together, and had an adorable little buglet.
Just as Theo was about to embrace his happy life, the System in his mind finally arrived and began shrieking: Host, do you want to die?!
Your Insect Emperor spouse is going to kill you!
Theo was baffled. Theo didn't believe it. Theo argued back: How could my wonderful wife possibly hurt me?!
But once he took off his rose-colored glasses, he realized the other party had always been distant and reserved. Even their rare moments of intimacy were only to provide pheromones for the egg. He was nothing but a tool bug.
Looking further into the past, it seemed the other party had also had a hand in the accident that brought him here.
But the final straw for Theo was the prenuptial agreement, which made it clear they were only using each other.
So their supposedly happy marriage was nothing but a transaction from beginning to end.
After agonizing over it, Theo finally made up his mind to escape this marriage, which was in name only and fraught with danger.
He was done being a tool male bug! Whoever wanted the job could have it!
When August came home that day and found nothing waiting for him but a cold room and an even colder divorce agreement, it felt as if his heart had been squeezed hard.
He took a deep breath, forced himself to stay calm, and messaged his male spouse: "I made your favorite dishes tonight. Come home first. We need to talk."
The only reply he got was a notice that he'd been blocked.
The security cameras had been turned off. The tracker had stopped working, too.
Only then did the usually unflappable Insect Emperor finally panic.
The divorce agreement was torn to shreds. Bloody marks from his knuckles striking the bedroom wall were left behind.
He had to bring his male spouse back with his own hands!
#One runs, one chases, and there's nowhere to hide
Reader's Guide:
1. This is a nontraditional insect-people story, with a mountain of original worldbuilding.
2. There are plenty of melodramatic misunderstandings, physical and emotional angst, a spouse-chasing arc, and lots of push and pull, but at its heart this is still a story about two hopeless romantics.
3. This is a fictional setting unrelated to real life. Please don't draw parallels to reality.
Below is the blurb for the upcoming story, After the Straight-A Major General Becomes an Insect Mother:
After a mission goes wrong, a dying major general is forced to undergo genetic modification and miraculously survives.
But after he recovers, his body keeps growing hot in the middle of the night, leaking a fishily sweet liquid and even developing strange, dark-red insect patterns.
"Side effects," his attending physician replies firmly. "They'll go away after a while."
Later, at an interstellar peace summit, the major general crushes the insect race's council speaker's tentacles with his bare hands. "Sorry. It was the one that latched on to me first."
In his haste to leave the scene, he misses the madness churning in those inhuman golden compound eyes.
On another feverish night, a group of strange figures stand beside his bed. Their tentacles writhe and their mouthparts open and close, uttering ancient insect words that humans should never be able to hear:
Mother...
The major general's eyes snap open. An unprecedented cramping pain erupts in his abdomen, making him curl up involuntarily.
Damn it, another nightmare!
The major general doesn't know that every tiny change in his body is being scanned and recorded, then transferred to the insect race's encrypted files.
On the giant screen: Insect Mother Awakening Progress: 23%.
Bright red letters flash as thousands upon thousands of insects bustle below.
They're working hard to get everything ready to welcome their new Insect Mother home!
And when the Insect Mother finally learns the truth about his genetic modification, he immediately boards a modified spaceship and flees to the far reaches of space.
The royal insects are in hot pursuit.
Theme: Love takes courage.
The ending is a bit hasty, especially the time reversal part, which omits a lot of information including Xiao Fu's information sources and communication, so abstract that it is a bit difficult to understand. But it is understandable that the author may not have good data in this book and wants to finish it early. The overall writing style of the article is controllable, the emotional lines are detailed, and the story is exciting. And it's only the second book on the author's account. The author doesn't need to be discouraged, keep going. Although after reading the last chapter, I still feel that it is not complete enough. Many things may not be written, which is a pity. Looking forward to the extra episode
Finished with flowers~~ The author's writing style is still very good. I started looking for the pen name from the last article and saw that this one is very good! It's a beautiful and strong flavor that I like very much~ The teacher said that the data in this article is not very good, maybe it's because some of our readers saw the copywriting and misunderstood the plot of the crematorium, so they wanted to wait and read it 😣 because I was just afraid that the plot in the middle would be too heart-wrenching, so I waited until the end to finish reading it in one go! But the author's creative ability is really no problem! I love every little couple in the book! I still want to catch up on newer works! Wait for the author to continue digging holes~[Hold your thighs][Hold your thighs]
It's Ivor and Sears from the previous book!
I want to see the past events of Theo and Augustus, the love story of the bug cubs, and Fred's survival if [glasses]
I want to watch the sweet daily life www. The young couple almost never had a good relationship from the beginning to the end 😭
I want to read the story of Ogu and Xiaoxi's first meeting and falling in love.
It seems like the story is not over yet. Will there be a follow-up?
A very complete world view and story structure. I hope the author can become more and more skilled in creating more complete works. I will update or enrich the next book.
It's finished and I hope the author will write more sweet extras.
Finished spreading flowers!!! Waiting for the extra episode 🤩
