[Ensemble Cast] [Political Intrigue] [No Stupid Characters]
In New Era 910, the Federation is beset by troubles at home and abroad.
A grand, convoluted case has begun to unfold.
The collapse of order is imminent...
"Those who walk different paths cannot work together."
"Let us each show what we can do."

Bai Xifei transmigrated, unfortunately into the body of an insect. Fortunately, at least he was male.
He called it unfortunate because these insects weren't like the ones from StarCraft. They were more like the vessels for some kind of kinky, trashy romance fiction.
He called it fortunate because, in this distorted society, male insects naturally belonged to the privileged class, born above the masses and entitled to live off others.
Bai Xifei: What the hell is there to be happy about?!
#Thanks for asking. I'm straight, and I like wasp waists, shapely bottoms, and long legs.#
#A pure-love warrior is still trying to find a way back to Blue Star today.#
All the other insects say Bai Xifei is violent and capricious, mentally unsound, and best avoided.
Bai Xifei: The insect world's infamous female-hating, unhinged male, that's me!
Anyway, today's unhinged Lord is once again fighting to protect his chastity.

Mirage went to prison in his brother's place, ready to suffer injustice and humiliation. He never expected the one who'd been yearning for him in vain to risk everything and save him.
It seemed to be a case of mistaken identity, with a fish eye mistaken for a pearl.
But if the pearl already belongs to someone, how can the fish eye be any worse?
Mirage: It's fine. I'm willing to be my brother's substitute.
Bai Xifei: ...
Bai Xifei: There is no substitute.
Bai Xifei: I was talking nonsense earlier! Believe me!
One ordinary day, Bai Xifei suddenly discovered that he wasn't the only unlucky soul to transmigrate. He promptly rescued the younger brother of the asshole childhood friend from his previous life.
This time, he'd learned his lesson. To prepare for the worst, he told the younger brother that he already had someone in his heart and would never settle for anyone else in this life, hoping to prevent another disaster like the younger brother throwing himself at him.
Later, Bai Xifei: Damn it, I should've never tried to prepare for the worst.

Main pairing, Island Syndrome: I never imagined that, at this moment, you would come running to me.
A seemingly violent, homophobic, closeted sweetheart adored by every insect x an unconventional, pitiful, loathsome, sinister snake-like creep
Side pairing, Pride and Prejudice: You and they killed me, a shameless man.
The Federation's rising star, a noble at the pinnacle of society x a stray dog from the depths of the slums, the rose of his first love who died young
Reader's guide:
1. I made dumplings for the vinegar, and the vinegar is a fake-substitute romance.
2. An ensemble cast (in theory), a long political-intrigue epic (despite how silly the blurb is). Come along if you like scheming, big set pieces, and expansive worldbuilding.
3. A wish-fulfillment novel with a universally adored protagonist. The author will try to use their brain, but no promises.
→ So sugary it could rival those genius-baby stories from back in the day.
Not sure if it'll be sweet, but it'll definitely be satisfying!
4. Top-led, powerful x powerful, no pregnancy.
5. The plot is the focus. I'll do my best with the romance.
Main couple:
Sweet HE with the tiniest bit of angst.
Side couple:
Their partner was widowed right at their introduction,
so the main story's ending is still undecided: BE or OE.
But the extras, if there are any, will be HE.
6. Mountains of original worldbuilding. Not your typical insect society.
7. None of the main cast are perfect. They're genuinely unlikeable, some even villains. The outline is set, and the pairings won't change. Don't make things hard on yourself: if it makes you uncomfortable, run!
8. The tops in both couples will be caught up in rumors midway through, but nothing romantic happens.
9. The main couple are each other's only partners. The side couple are both promiscuous, for different reasons, and both have non-consensual scenes (included for the plot). Please be aware and avoid this if it's not for you. Reading means you accept this.
10. Not science fiction, just a superficial sci-fi costume.
11. A fictional setting with no real-life models for the characters (they aren't even human!) and no allegorical events. Any resemblance is coincidental and unrelated to reality. Please don't read real-life meanings into it.
12. It looks profound, but it's mostly bluffing and search engines. Just enjoy it, don't expect rigorous research orz.
→ The author isn't very smart. If the logic is off, don't doubt it: it's definitely the author's fault.
13. No writing advice, and don't accuse me of plagiarism without evidence.
14. Love you all.

Finally, given the common dealbreakers in insect-society stories, I still need to point out:
1. Strictly speaking, the story includes elements of gender equality between male and female insects. This is a natural development of history and serves as the broader backdrop for conflict. It isn't the core of the story. The protagonist happens to be caught up in it and goes with the flow, rather than blindly challenging the world. The overall society in the main story still treats males as superior to females.
2. Gender advantage is no different in kind from advantages in intelligence, appearance, wealth, and so on. The story respects objective logic and won't make status depend on gender alone. Characters can't use it to steamroll everyone.
That's all. Enjoy reading.
Theme: Devote your life to the pursuit of a great cause
Guess it's finally here. When I was tired from doing the experiment, I bought something to reward myself. I bought a gold necklace, a bunch of silver necklaces and two bracelets. It was really out of control, but it still held its value.
I feel that this section is very similar to a clip I have seen before, it feels very emotional, that sharp feeling... "You must have had enough, right? Why do our security forces and security forces have such a high rate of violence!" Milaji said, "Because we have eyes, ears, and mouths. We can see, but we have to pretend to be blind; we can hear, so we have to pretend to be deaf; we can speak, but we have to remain silent!" All the grief and anger turned into crazy laughter and blurted out, "How about gods and Buddhas?" So what about heaven and earth? Since it is with my soul, why do you trap me in Liuhe? Since you gave me two eyes, why do you tell me not to see far away? Since I have two ears, why can't I hear even half of the mantra? Since I have a mouth and a sharp tongue, why do you force me to keep silent in everything? No freedom! No freedom! No freedom!
I'm stuck on writing, so I'll try my best to post it before going to bed. If it's too late, I'll write more and post it tomorrow.
I have to fake my death and live under another identity.
I was curious before that the chain was not complete enough, but now I understand it. In fact, the timing, linkage, and interpretation angles of various things are all layered, and they are displayed differently to different objects. Almost starting with the arrival of Baixi as the dividing point, Baixi was able to catch up with the final wave to gain influence in Kamoni. Although he was not the one who brought the original stock after all, and there would be differences in the governing philosophy and self-positioning, so in fact, it is not expected that they can really change their allegiance. As long as they can operate independently under certain guidance, thank God. And for Percy, who is naturally prone to tend to be traditionalists, this positioning may not actually have more advantages than disadvantages, and greatly weakens the audience scope. Therefore, in the future, Kamoni is required to rely on Percy, so that they can survive and avoid encirclement and suppression. Instead of Percy belonging to Kamoni, his position must remain vague and flexible, and as a symbol, so that transcendence and holiness can exist. He needs to "recognize" them and their ideas, thinking that this is the direction that the Zerg should go. This is the will of the Zerg, and he conveys execution and support. Rather, he is one of them, so follow him immediately after starting a group. At this time, the card is used as a political gripper. After all, leaders in the modern sense often also serve as spiritual leaders, which is different from the standards of secular lords in the theocratic era. Therefore, if they have to be implicit, then they need to have insects to speak for them and convey them on their behalf, or for other factions to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao. They can also implement some things that are truly for the country and the people, ensure implementation rather than dividing funds, and convey the true situation, etc. The two depended on each other. After all, except for Yuan Shu and Bai Xi, no one from the same superiors showed them goodwill and support. But in fact, in the Zerg, the review is very strict. This is a purely alien social model in a different world. There is not a single human in it, and they can tear apart mechas with their hands. The Zerg are really social animals, and some social behaviors and moral standards are not exactly the same. This is not human at all. But this is obviously not enough in the chaotic Zerg. Because of the minority principle, in order to avoid being assimilated and maintain purity, one must stick to principles, but it will also be easier to encounter various attacks, so there will be scruples in acting. Others can do it but they cannot do it. They really grasp the people's hearts and legitimacy, cling to the army of justice unwaveringly, and use the fine tradition of mobilizing the masses. They can't fight against private armies armed to the teeth. To be honest, it can't really act as a deterrent. So when it comes to this, we can understand why Mira could hold back before, not risking anything, and only acting as a middleman, so she would be completely obscured by Yuan Shu's brilliance. Moreover, if a bug intervenes between him and Percy, it may not necessarily be an insertion in that sense. In fact, he is easily marginalized, because a bug can only be deeply marked by one side, and will be blocked from the others. Obviously, he cannot belong to Carmoni. So it's still, either it belongs to him completely, or it's a short-term experience card for Yuan Shu's sake, and tolerance won't last long. The military is of course important. If Mira behaves "softer", they would also prefer to monopolize the jade seal. Yuan Shu is known to be difficult to control. His relationship with Yuan Shu and his personality are undoubtedly not the best spokesperson. They might also make excuses in front of him, and then apply pressure first to see if they can speak loudly and take a dominant position. If he met Bai Xi directly, he would open a higher price, alienate them, and suggest that he would control Bai Xi to make a profit by spreading rumors, hoping for the hint (because Yuan Shu is still around now) to switch to one of their own. The position of commander-in-chief, haha, can be given to anyone in name. Whether it can be commanded is another matter. Anyway, everyone in District 9 actually knows who the surname is, for the Zerg! Capital! As for the federal military, as long as Yuan Shu really dares to clear a large gap in the federal political arena, and in order to gain legitimacy and support (on the one hand, this is the tradition of the Zerg, the hawks are outsiders, victory is the best. As long as it can mobilize the resources of the race through righteousness, who dares to say that they don't know? Then it is normal for you to mobilize resources and troops, a wartime policy. And this will obviously increase the military power of the Zerg), they will naturally expand their influence, and they will not suffer any loss, so they are the fastest and most generous. Mira actually does not have so many resources as a Zerg in exchange for the Zerg's traditional marriage relationship, so there is a reason why he is so radical. Of course, in fact, Percy's different attitudes will also affect the extent of Mira's bets and whether to leave a way out and future troubles. A person who travels a hundred miles is half a mile, Mira chooses to use this to provide for the previous The explanation is explained with a strange and doubtful attitude, just like the wedding night, and finally annotated with hints of "love" and sacrifice. After all, it can be said that the whole plan has been told in advance. One is afraid that walls have ears, and the other is I am afraid that you will ruin the plan or not agree to be polite to me. In short, it uses very shocking things to quickly bring the relationship closer to the core. And just like at the beginning, now he is the most important. He has not declared what he is for, so he has a lot of flexibility. He is a sword with an edge, and can flexibly adjust the direction and definition. Maybe he can also be used as a black glove. Of course, this depends on the promised treatment and whether he can really realize his ideals. In short, it is a way to attract the imagination of insects. Assuming that the ideal direction is followed, then if there is support as a public plaque (well, this is not necessarily true, but it is an emerging force. Anyone who is not stupid knows that there is no second Kamoni, so there is finally one that must promote this). Super high-level influence can really be affected, but only those with real military power, those who can mobilize, and even allow them to turn their guns, are the most attractive. I was thinking before that Mira was so bold and promised military power. This is indeed worthy of the price of "love" (this thing cannot be quantified, but in fact, although everyone knows that love is not exchanged but attracted and maintained, in fact, Percy's feelings do not come from interests. But in this kind of strict class society, as social rules, what is proposed must be equivalent, or it is to look down on the other party and think it is not worth the price, and the unique position of sharing weal and woe in the Zerg requires you to play this special role). At this time, the structure is truly a complete triangle flow. Only by truly purging, filtering, and even having bugs follow him to "reverse" and speak out publicly can he be independent from the military and avoid questioning his position. He is not a bug in Yuan Shu's shadow. He is indispensable to Percy and can be important and core above Kamoni. Of course, the future is definitely going to be bumpy, and I'm also planning to receive the kind of treatment that is a thorn in the side of Xiti Yuanshu, but the bloody white ghost is strong, and we are not afraid of assassination.,, However, although I have always understood this, Mira is so fierce and capable, which is also very shocking. This is equivalent to being connected all the time, the characters are not different, and the bayonet is considered relaxed. It is true to say that the Zerg are all iron-blooded, high-energy insect swarms, and they are very generous. Help me to ship on behalf of you [Okay]

The solo painters of Percy and Mila who I have arranged for have finished their drawings. They are so beautiful, but the only thing missing is the Yuan Shu 🐰 🐰
Yesterday I went on duty and the stupid author was treated for cervical spondylosis symptoms. I haven't finished writing yet. I feel like my neck is about to break and I have trouble breathing. I can't sit still anymore so I lie down first. I'm afraid I won't be able to post it tonight. I'll post it tomorrow and I'll have more words. Don't wait any longer, my dears.
Hehe ~ update soon ~
