The Male Insect Was Forced into an Arranged Marriage, but His Partner Really Likes Him

[Noble and elegant, aloof male insect x devoted female insect who's been an ardent fan for years]

Ying Bo was the only male insect in the Interstellar Federation born as an A-rank.

Hailed as a treasure of the Federation, he was proud and aloof, with an air of nobility all his own. He had countless followers on the Interstellar Network.

Over the years, amid frequent wars, a female insect general named Chesix Gaia had risen from the lower classes.

She was hailed as a war genius and a killing machine, and had become the only one in the entire star system with S-rank mental power. Fierce and untamable, she looked down on the powerful and paid no attention to male insects. She was the very picture of a tyrannical female insect.

The two had nothing to do with each other.

Until Ying Bo's female parent asked him to enter into a political marriage.

The Interstellar Network exploded.

What would happen between the pampered, noble male insect Ying Bo and a commoner who'd clawed her way up from the bottom? How could an S-rank female insect, a heaven's favorite, possibly put up with an arrogant male insect from the upper classes?

Ying Bo thought so too.

But then that female insect, who'd driven a mecha straight into the venue, her clothes soaked in blood as if she'd just walked out of a battlefield full of corpses, made his female parent stamp her feet in anger...

She bowed to Ying Bo, her posture humble and her head respectfully lowered.

When she raised her head again, her expression was sincere and her pupils trembled. Even her fingertips seemed to quiver slightly.

"Your Highness Ying Bo, it's an honor to meet you. I've brought you the most beautiful flowers from the Moston battlefield."

"It is beyond words to have the honor of meeting Your Highness. To stand by your side is... is my fondest dream."

The mecha behind her suddenly opened, revealing the rarest flowers of the past hundred years: the sacred blooms of the Meifei planet. Thousands of insects had swarmed in search of them, yet not a single flower could be found. Only a few bunches appeared once every hundred years.

Ying Bo tilted his head in confusion.

Was this the ruthless female insect from the stories?

Why had she... turned into a completely different insect?

Word that Ying Bo had been given the sacred blooms of Meifei spread all over the Interstellar Network.

Public opinion was almost unanimously against her:

[Doesn't the general just want to use Ying Bo to climb the ranks? How hard is that to guess?] / [Heh, even General Chesix has fallen into the whirlpool of power.]

Ying Bo could only smile wryly. He really didn't want to marry an insect who sucked up to the powerful.

But as they gradually got to know each other, Ying Bo discovered that she...

Not only knew his tastes, his favorite art styles, and how sweet he liked his cakes...

She even remembered nearly every single thing he liked?!

Yet the female insect knelt on one knee, earnestly asking to come closer. She looked at him with dejected, pleading, love-filled eyes.

"No one is worthy of being near you, including me."

Only much later did Ying Bo learn that this S-rank female insect had been his one and only fan for years, an ardent devotee.

She'd kept his photo in her pocket watch for years. She was willing to risk her life for him, break her wings, and give her life...

Even meeting him had truly been the spiritual pillar that had helped this female insect climb up from the bottom.

Ying Bo glanced at the female insect beside him, who held him tightly, cuddled up against him even in her sleep and refused to let go, and murmured his name in her dreams. He fell into deep thought.

Why does she like me so much?

Ah, she really does like me so much.

[The male lead is a native male insect, a native male insect, with the unavoidable limitations of his species.]

"The Ancient Emperor Transmigrates to the Insect World" shares this story's setting and world. Please add it to your favorites, qaq.

Shen Qian was an emperor, hailed by historians as the greatest emperor of all time. During his reign, he mastered the art of wielding power, brought peace to the four seas, secured his borders, and ushered in an era of peace and prosperity.

But after his death, he somehow transmigrated to this... insect world, where male insects were revered and females subservient?

What did male insect mean?

And what did it mean to be a naturally S-rank male insect?

He'd been selected as the next insect ruler. That sounded like... almost the same status as a crown prince?

Shen Qian was overjoyed.

A heaven-sent start, with fate on his side!

He would surely unify the four seas once more and bring peace to the land.

But...

What did they mean, male insects couldn't participate in government?

What did they mean, male insects couldn't attend military academies?

Male insects weren't even allowed to go into business?

He was an emperor. If he couldn't govern or join the military, what could he do? Be a mere figurehead?

Shen Qian couldn't understand why so many female insects were confessing their love to him. Huh, you really blush easily. Why do you say protecting me is your duty?

He could deign to accept a date with this blushing female insect.

When Shen Qian saw with his own eyes that the battered female insect had been thrown in prison for protecting him and violating the interstellar laws governing male and female insects...

His disappointment in this world's order reached its peak.

He would smash it all with his own hands and unite the stars.

He would take up the weapon called power.

The wilds of the nine provinces shall tremble before the stars.
