The Pride of the Insectoid Race

[A fictional setting unrelated to reality. Please do not compare it to real life.] A brilliant, oblivious, cold-faced but adorable, naturally airheaded male insect vs. a frequently unhinged, fiercely possessive, late-blooming, ruthless prince (broad-chested and dark-skinned), a female insect Three years ago, Misi became engaged to Major General Soren, who had saved his life on a small planet. Since then, he had often felt aggrieved over one thing or another. Perhaps it was because the major general's aide kept snatching his meals, or because his hopes were repeatedly met with silence. Whatever the reason, after discovering that the necklace he'd given the major general had appeared around another male insect's neck the very next day, he divorced him. After the divorce, his peaceful life finally began to stir. Major General Soren came to him again and again, begging to make up and apologizing for his arrogance over the past three years. The insect who had used him also emerged from the shadows, demanding that he return the mining planet... But none of that had anything to do with Misi anymore. Lucifer's antics kept him busy enough; he had no time to deal with those irrelevant insects. Lucifer had set his sights on a male insect who already had a female consort. The male was clearly a male insect, yet had earned top marks in many required courses for military females, including Exoskeletons and Biological Armaments, and had ranked at the top of the Imperial First Military Academy for years. Lately, Lucifer wore a terrifying smile all day long. He was delighted. Misi was finally getting divorced! Afraid that the male insect might have a change of heart, Lucifer pulled some strings and completed the divorce proceedings in just one hour, even though they should have taken months. A male insect leaving with nothing was so noble, and so helpless. Everything was just perfect. "Lucifer, I don't have any star coins to give you." Misi sat stiffly on the sofa. He was deeply touched that Lucifer had taken him in when he was penniless, despite the damage it might do to a female insect's reputation. The poor male insect lowered his eyes. Even the scent of his pheromones had turned bitter. Look at him, so naive. He was trapped in the nest Lucifer had carefully woven for him, yet still thought Lucifer was a good insect. "It's all right, Misi." Excitement glimmered in Lucifer's strange golden, slit-pupiled eyes. Fortunately, his thick eyelashes kept the male insect from noticing. Once everything was back on track, Misi found himself facing a new dilemma. As a male insect, he was supposed to take many female consorts and contribute to the continuation of the Empire. But he looked at the female consort kneeling before him, seemingly obedient but evidently unrepentant. "Lucifer, do you know what you did wrong?" "Misi, you're mine!" Lucifer had no fear at all. "Misi, I'm in so much pain. Did my wound split open..." Misi had always been softhearted. If Lucifer just got himself "a little hurt," his male lord would forgive him. In the end, with Lucifer blocking his path, Misi still couldn't become a perfect male insect. Premise: The highest good is like water. Water benefits all things and does not contend.
