A Gamer Accidentally Enters the Insectoid World

Blurb: The game Insect Race was released as the first large-scale full-dive VR game, but it was extremely demanding on players’ computers, leaving countless players complaining. Yet its characters were vivid, its romance and main plot developed side by side, and it offered an exceptionally high degree of freedom. The glittering royal court, the blood-soaked prison, the church worshipped by its faithful, the black market of illicit deals. ① The beautiful major general, framed for treason, is put up for auction [Gentle gentleman Wen Dan x aloof, cool Lan Che] Wen Dan unexpectedly found himself inside the game, inhabiting the body of a supporting character. This male insect was violent and tyrannical, with a terrible temper, and was nothing like Wen Dan. So Wen Dan helped him turn over a new leaf, diligently cracking down on vice and crime. At an underground auction, Wen Dan ran into the game’s protagonist, Jack, who was surrounded by three female insects, busy enjoying the company of his harem and unlocking its hidden routes. This time, Jack was about to bid on the fallen Major General Lan Che. Wen Dan thought it over. This protagonist… seemed like a player who juggled multiple partners, and he might also be guilty of illegal trading. Then Wen Dan glanced up at the stage. There was Major General Lan Che, kneeling inside a completely transparent glass cage in the auction hall. His tattered white uniform set off his silver hair and deep blue eyes, making him look like a snow orchid dulled by dust. Unable to bear seeing such a frosty, snow-white beauty in dire straits, Wen Dan threw down tens of millions of star coins and bought the major general outright. But the moment the major general saw Wen Dan, despair filled his blue eyes. After all, Lan Che had repeatedly turned down the original owner’s offer to make him a consort. And everyone knew the original owner was a cruel, vindictive young master who had once threatened to ruin the noble military major general if he ever fell into his hands. ② The playboy steals his uncle’s arranged marriage match [Flirtatious, amorous Xi Lang x mature, older Asendelin] Asendelin, the military’s famously impartial and stern Major General, was a man of few words who held immense power over the armed forces. Recently, word had it that he had become a widower just a few days ago, then promptly had his markings removed and started preparing to remarry. These past few days, the matching system had returned its results. Major General Asendelin had exchanged his military merits for a marriage contract with Xi Lang’s uncle. Xi Lang’s uncle, Xi Fu, had already turned the family upside down over it, absolutely refusing to marry a divorced older female insect. But Xi Lang had taken a liking to Asendelin. He found the major general’s air of razor-sharp authority irresistibly alluring. On the day of the engagement banquet, Xi Lang saw Major General Asendelin, left waiting at the altar, smoking alone in the night. Shamelessly, Xi Lang made his move: “Dear Major General, why don’t you give me a try? I’m very good at it. I promise you’ll be satisfied.” And then? Then the major general rejected Xi Lang’s invitation with a look of utter indifference. Xi Lang was heartbroken for all of one second. But fate works in mysterious ways. The old saying, “Today you ignore me; tomorrow you’ll be on your knees begging,” actually came true for them. The next day, Xi Lang stumbled upon Major General Asendelin’s long-awaited heat. In the family hall, the major general was curled up helplessly on the carpet, drenched in sweat and barely conscious. Surrounded by layers of firearms, he was like a trapped beast on display, able only to hold back his pained gasps as he teetered on the verge of a mental breakdown. No one dared approach such an extremely dangerous S-rank female insect, but Xi Lang walked right up to him and tried his luck again with a beaming smile: “Dear Major General, why don’t you give me a try?” ③ The investigator discovers the secret of the temple [Calm, straight-laced Mo Xing x born bad seed Ya Lian] Lately, several priests at the temple had died under mysterious circumstances, one after another. The temple lay beyond the reach of the law, so Mo Xing, a former human and now a male insect serving on the First Enforcement Team, went undercover as a newly appointed priest to uncover the truth. Instead, he stumbled upon the deepest secret of the church. Blood was called heavenly dew, flesh was called a feast, and having different-colored eyes was a sin. During a ceremony atop the temple’s vast high altar, the Holy Son, dressed in black robes, was having his flesh cut and his blood drained. Beneath his black veil, he looked like a bewitching ghost in the darkness. The Holy Son tilted his head, revealing one black eye and one red, both so exquisite they seemed almost demonic. He was the very picture of a beautiful, venomous seducer. Could he be the culprit behind the string of murders? How old was Ya Lian, anyway? A teenager? In his twenties? He’d been locked up here since childhood and had no idea what kind of life he’d lived. Mo Xing couldn’t help feeling a little sorry for him. In this hypocritical, filthy place, Ya Lian had no intention of letting go of the one person who had shown him kindness. If seductiveness was a gift, then Ya Lian’s eyes could tempt anyone even when he said nothing. When he looked at Mo Xing, he looked as if he were gazing at prey caught in a spider’s web. But Mo Xing was so upright and straight-laced that he couldn’t pick up on Ya Lian’s advances at all. In the dark confessional, before the enormous statue of the Insect God, Ya Lian draped himself over Mo Xing’s shoulder and breathed softly into his ear: “Brother, they all want my flesh and my blood. You’re the only one who doesn’t. All you want is the so-called truth.” “Then give me a kiss, and I’ll tell you a clue so you can report back. How about it?” Mo Xing: Straight-man shock. ④ The new prison warden and the dangerous inmate [Cruel schemer and master dog-trainer An Ji x short-tempered, crude, dark-skinned, big-breasted Di Aoti] Di Aoti was a death-row inmate in the Black Prison on Thirty-Seventh Star. Crude and utterly lacking in manners, he was so volatile that even the prison couldn’t keep him in check. The rumors called him bloody, vicious, and violent. Di Aoti was as hard-headed as they came. His ties to the rebels and the charge of murdering a male insect were enough to have him executed a hundred times over. But his sentence had been commuted to death with a reprieve. The authorities planned to threaten and bribe him until they wrung the information out of him and broke his stubborn spirit. However, the old warden had died of heart failure, and the new warden was a young male insect from a noble family. They said this young new warden had a blood feud with Di Aoti over the murder of his male father. What a coincidence. The enemies had finally come face to face! The prisoners were all eager to see the show, hoping to watch the toughest man in the prison crushed, broken, and destroyed by brutal punishment. So, before everyone’s eyes, the male insect arrived for his first day on the job, his golden eyes tilted at the corners with a foxlike defiance. His name was An Ji. On their first day together, An Ji grinned wickedly at Di Aoti, who was being held in solitary confinement. He walked into the cell and saw Di Aoti bound from head to toe. A black muzzle and taut restraints made him look like a wounded beast trapped in a lightless cage. This is pretty interesting. In a good mood, An Ji said: “Hey, puppy. As promised, I’m here to play with you.” As for how they would play, of course that was up to him. ⑤ How to become your own replacement after being reborn [Devoted after being reborn, Cross Ting x decadent and aloof Mi Jia Le] Cross Ting was the illustrious Second Prince of the Insect Empire, while Mi Jia Le was the empire’s chief financial officer and the prince’s teacher. Cool, chaste, and a master schemer, he always buttoned his shirt neatly all the way to the top. In private, Mi Jia Le was notorious for accepting any male insect who came his way. He seemed willing to take anyone, yet kept Cross Ting at arm’s length. Cross Ting thought Mi Jia Le had no feelings for him at all. They had never even shared a kiss, yet Cross Ting had loved Mi Jia Le until the day he died, without ever being loved in return. After Cross Ting died, Mi Jia Le withered like a flower, rapidly wasting away and refusing to seek comfort through mental communion with male insects. Seven years passed. When Cross Ting stood before Mi Jia Le once more, his young face still bearing a faint resemblance to the one from before, Mi Jia Le’s emerald eyes, behind cold lenses, churned with shock and anguish that cut to the bone. Just like that, Cross Ting easily got close to Mi Jia Le and even became his own replacement. This was Cross Ting’s… revenge. Together day and night, they were consumed by love and hate.

A heads-up: the top and bottom in the second arc are not each other’s first, and the bottom in the fifth arc is not a virgin. 3. For the record, my preferences are [top-focused romance + the top saves the bottom]. I like bottoms who are beautiful and tragic, or handsome and tragic. If those aren’t your preferences, don’t force yourself to read it. This may not suit readers with extreme character favoritism. 4. This is a fictional setting unrelated to reality, so please don’t project it onto real life! The story is entirely fictional, so please don’t conflate it with reality! 5. The protagonist’s soul enters another body, whose original owner has died. In other words, it is a case of taking over a corpse. Theme: Love is humanity’s greatest ode
