The Entire Insectoid Race Fell for Me, and Then I Became Emperor

[This will probably be abandoned, but I might pick it back up if inspiration strikes]

Chen Yu died, but not entirely.

He was bound to the Affection Collection System 996 and reincarnated in an insectoid world as a virtual male insect idol.

996 promised that if he collected 10 billion affection points in the insectoid world as a virtual male insect, he could come back to life and return to Earth, and would also receive 100 million yuan.

Chen Yu: It’s not about the money. I really just want to go home.

The empire’s most powerful insectoids all became his players.

The First-Rank Prosecutor, the military’s rising star, the head of the council, the pirate chief, the rebel leader, the director of the Academy of Sciences, the chief justice… Every dazzling powerbroker in the insectoid world was completely smitten with him.

They tried everything, spending money, becoming obsessed, even betraying their own class, all just to win a smile from Chen Yu.

But a high affection rating? A happy ending?

Sorry, neither is happening.

Chen Yu smiled. “Thanks for liking me, but I only want to go home. You’re just tools for collecting affection points.”

As the game neared its end, Chen Yu gained a physical body and, under a secret identity, began traveling around the insectoid world, enjoying its exotic sights to his heart’s content.

He had planned to sit back and wait to go home, but Chen Yu witnessed the darkness and tragedies of the insectoid world: low-ranking male insects kept as pets by nobles, low-ranking female insects treated as cannon fodder… On his travels, he encountered several male insects risking their lives to escape. They became the spark that set everything ablaze.

And so the council, the military, the Academy of Sciences… the factions of his former players all became pieces on Chen Yu’s chessboard.

The powerful insectoids who had once fallen for him but could never have him now knelt at his feet, willingly offering him their crowns and loyalty.

“Congratulations on your coronation, Your Majesty.”

Yet as he looked upon the old world he had overturned with his own hands and the new world whose order was gradually stabilizing, Chen Yu had become the accomplished and celebrated Emperor of the Insectoids, but he still could not forget that blue planet. His gaze calm, he said, “It’s time for me to go home.”

Chen Yu, welcome home.

He never belonged to anyone, yet he made every powerful insectoid fall for him, and they personally helped him reach the pinnacle.

1. The story is told from the shou’s perspective. Chen Yu is the gong: a seemingly powerful gong and a heartthrob gong. The ship gets little attention. The gong is not sexually inexperienced, while the shou is pure in both body and heart, before and after.

2. 1vn. The shou does not split into multiple personalities. The gong is devoted only to himself and loves no one. No pairing at the end.

Theme: Stay true to yourself, yearn for freedom, and hope for world peace
