The Coveted Queen Bee

● Can I Eat You? / Spider shapeshifter, dark and obsessive courtship / ^-*

Atop the royal platform, the long-awaited Queen Bee finally descended after ten years.

An intense, intoxicating honey scent burst forth, driving the entire bee race into a frenzy.

They gazed greedily at their queen, instinctively craving the comfort of her pheromones.

"Your Highness, please pierce me."

*

Fu Luo was jolted awake by the din beside her. One second ago, she had been a star adored by millions in the entertainment industry. The next, she had somehow become the queen of the bee race...

No! She'd been stung by a wasp when she was little!

But then

The male bee chancellor held her hand and gently brushed his lips over the back of the queen's hand.

"Flora, do you want to become queen of the entire continent?"

"Give me your pheromones, and I'll be your blade."

On a stormy night, the rebel leader slipped into the bedchamber. The dampness clinging to him roused the queen from sleep.

"My queen, your pheromones are still as sweet as ever. They make me lose myself, and make me want to destroy you..."

In the solemn, majestic temple, the bishop watched her with deep blue eyes. No one knew that for a long time, he had yearned to become her lover.

"Flora, you are my faith."

In the middle of the night, unable to sleep, Flora went barefoot to the balcony to gaze at the moon and sigh. "What am I supposed to do with so many suitors?"

From below the balcony, the male bee knight captain looked up and saw the queen's small, pale feet peeking out from beneath her lace nightgown. His gaze darkened, but his expression remained composed. "My queen, my blade will always obey you."

If I kill them all, I won't have to worry anymore.

# Four main male characters, all virgins

# A bee race, but with lots of original worldbuilding. For example, all bees submit to the queen's pheromones, though a few are exceptions

# Romance-focused, with a somewhat fragmented plot. Please be gentle. The heroine has the strongest pheromones, but isn't very strong in a fight

# Not a gender-bender romance. The bonus chapters may include egg-laying

# More to come

-----Seeking follows for my upcoming story. Here's the blurb:

Doll is a newly released pet-raising app. Supposedly, no two players will ever hatch the same little one.

The game has gorgeous art, and gives you an egg when you log in. Li Fu rubbed her hands together and tapped [Hatch Now].

Huh? This art style is wrong!

That's not an egg! It's an ovum! (▼皿▼#)

A tiny bee with transparent wings hatched from the round ovum.

She had chubby cheeks like a little rice dumpling, short golden curls clinging to her head, and round, honey-colored eyes that gazed all around.

At last, she called out in a babyish voice, "Mama?"

Li Fu's heart melted. She threw herself into completing quests to make clothes for her little bee, find her honey, and build her a house. Every night, she even read her a bedtime story.

Unfortunately, before the little bee could grow up, the game suddenly announced that its servers would be shutting down.

On the night the servers went offline, Li Fu transmigrated.

This was a world where every resident was a bee. Every bee submitted to the queen's pheromones, and only male bees with powerful pheromones could be chosen by the queen as her consorts.

Li Fu, who had neither pheromones nor a male bee's body: :)

She nervously concealed her human identity and, relying on her innate skills as an overworked office drone, soon found a suitable job.

Until one day, she realized that the bee princess looked exactly like the little one she'd once raised.

--

The bee race had once suffered a terrible experience none of them wanted to remember. The princess's soft egg had suddenly vanished from the royal platform, and from that day on, the entire bee race sank into darkness and unrest.

Then, one day, the empire's marshal found the princess again in the dense forest.

The marshal could hardly believe that the princess had survived alone in the wilderness for so long. If he'd arrived even a moment later, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

He asked the princess, "Your Highness, who kidnapped you?"

The princess blinked. "Mama."
