Xilaiduo Lin transmigrates into the insectoid world, becoming a low-ranking male insect on the verge of death.

In this world, where male insects reign supreme, most are spoiled, domineering, unreasonable, and overbearing. The original owner of this body was especially bad. But even among male insects, there are different ranks. As a low-ranking male, the original owner's life couldn't compare in the slightest to that of a high-ranking male.

The higher a male's rank, the more privileges he has and the more insects fawn over him.

The original owner was jealous and powerless. Then one day, he was forcibly matched with a high-ranking female. It was called a match, but in truth, this was a female rejected by another high-ranking male, who had dumped him on the original owner to be punished.

The original owner had planned to vent his rage and take revenge, but just as he was about to, something went wrong with his body.

Duolin transmigrated into this body and found himself looking at the tall female insect, delivered to him by force and covered in wounds, and the little child hovering cautiously beside him. He fell silent.

This world was truly insane.

As a normal person, Duolin figured that since he was already here, he might as well be a good husband and stepfather.

He gave them complete freedom and respect. He told the young female stories, made them treats, played games with them, and helped them get back on their feet. He also stood firmly by their side whenever they were bullied.

The female, once covered in scars, gradually returned to the battlefield and rose to the top. His meticulous, stern, and cold expression began to hold a happiness and joy he himself hadn't noticed.

Until a kidnapping.

Duolin and the female's former male master were kidnapped together. The good news was that they were both rescued. The bad news was that they had been injected with a drug that dissolved their mental energy.

The antidote was expensive, and the starship only had one dose. On top of that, its jump system was damaged, so they could only save one insect.

Amid the shouting, Duolin struggled to open his eyes. The female he had sincerely cared for, eyes bloodshot and body trembling, chose his former male master.

His sincerity had become a joke. The female poured his mental energy into Duolin, again and again, pleading, “Master, we'll be there soon, just hang on a little longer.”

Duolin felt more helpless than sad. The drug wouldn't kill a male insect, but he was an outsider, so there was no telling what would happen to him. As far as he was concerned, death wasn't necessarily a bad thing. He hadn't wanted to stay here in the first place. Let it end like this.

Just as his consciousness was leaving this body, the old soul returned, and everything went back to its original course.

Clivia's hands trembled as he tried to save him with his mental energy. The male beneath him stopped breathing. Clivia didn't dare breathe or believe it. This couldn't be. It couldn't be. The drug only damaged mental energy, so how could he die?

Thankfully, thankfully, after three breaths,

the male breathed again. Clivia let out a sigh of relief. But the male who woke up had changed. He no longer remembered their past. His personality had become violent, abusive, and vicious, and he no longer showed them the tenderness he once had.

Sreel tugged at Clivia's clothes and asked carefully, “Why doesn't Father like me anymore?”

Clivia rasped, “Master is angry with me. I'll make him forgive me.”

Then the ring disappeared. The male's things were casually thrown away. His habits changed, and he began to worship violence and extravagance. More and more clues pointed to one answer: the insect before him wasn't, wasn't his master.

The whip fell on Clivia, but the pain couldn't wake him. Where was his master? Where had his master gone?

Duolin never thought he would get the chance to open his eyes again. He saw Clivia, now a dictator, but the two of them would never have another chance.

Duolin's first meeting with Weil Aien was messy and unexpected. He woke up on a desolate planet, was attacked by insect beasts, and was rescued by Weil.

At first, Duolin thought in silence and warily that this female was a little stupid.

In the end, weeping as he held Weil's battered, bloodied body, Duolin thought: This female really is stupid.

[Reading Guide]

1. The love interest changes, and the main love interest appears late.

2. The cannon-fodder love interest has had a child.

3. Rather than love, the protagonist's care for them is better described as a normal person's sense of responsibility toward his family. Because of his family background, he has a strong sense of responsibility. In his worldview, he was forced into the original owner's body and inherited the cannon-fodder love interest's family. Whatever the cannon-fodder love interest was like before, he has a responsibility to them in this relationship.

4. The protagonist is not perfect.

5. This is a silly, brainless story, so please don't overthink it.

6. For anyone wondering, the top and bottom are both inexperienced. Lin Bao and Clivia's relationship only involves polite, formal contact. Because of his family, Lin is afraid of marriage and love. He sees love and marriage as responsibility, fidelity, choice, and absolute devotion. So even though the insectoid world suddenly assigned him a marriage, once he decided to stay with them, Lin took good care of them. Their life together later really did give him the illusion of being an ordinary family, but of course, an illusion is just an illusion.

Here's a recommended upcoming harem novel from the same author, with a male lead who is the top:

[The Evil, Pouty Alpha at an Aristocratic Academy]

Male-lead-focused harem, with a weak top, a weak top, and a weak top.

Yue Qiao grew up in a poor neighborhood and always thought he was destined for greatness. After presenting as an Alpha at thirteen, he became even more arrogant and domineering.

Yue Qiao is a petty little man. Unlike the usual strong, tall Alphas, he's beautiful and looks more like a delicate Omega than an Alpha.

On the surface, Yue Qiao would scoff and act as though he didn't care. In private, he was insanely jealous of the taller, stronger Alphas, and would secretly draw circles and curse those powerful Alphas in his mind.

When another inexplicably nasty Alpha at school stopped him to tease and flirt with him, Yue Qiao's eyes reddened. He threw a little tantrum and decided to get revenge, setting his sights on the school's notorious bully.

Yue Qiao was clever. He easily got the bully wrapped around his finger and started living a life where food and clothes were delivered to him. He also used the bully's influence to teach every Alpha who had ever stopped and bullied him a lesson.

He smugly thought, Hmph! These so-called powerful Alphas are nothing special.

When he was eighteen, Yue Qiao got into Imperial University. Without hesitation, he dumped the bully, lifted his little chin, and smugly mocked him before walking away without a backward glance.

After arriving on the Imperial Star, Yue Qiao hadn't even had time to celebrate before his assigned roommate mistook him for an Omega.

Furious, Yue Qiao widened his round eyes and demanded a room change.

No matter how much his former roommate apologized, Yue Qiao wouldn't forgive him. He was just that fierce!!!

The dorm rooms in Yue Qiao's major were already full, so he was temporarily assigned to a mixed dorm.

Because of the last-minute room change, Yue Qiao arrived last. When he got there, three Alphas were already sitting in the dorm, all famous, high-quality Alphas.

Every one of them was powerful and imposing, staring at him with sharp eyes. Yue Qiao gave a quiet little huff, pretended not to care as he unpacked, and secretly clenched his hands.

On his first day in the dorm, Yue Qiao saw just how big the gap was.

Any one thing his three roommates owned cost more than all his savings. They knew he had no money, yet still chose an especially expensive restaurant when they went out to eat. Yue Qiao didn't have to pay in the end, but he was still extremely displeased.

One was two-faced, one cold, and one stiff. And yet they were all incredibly popular with Omegas, taking the top three spots on little Omegas' lists of dream partners.

So many pretty little Omegas showed interest in them, but they never responded. What idiots.

Petty and stubborn, Yue Qiao got an idea after reading a post on the forum from an Alpha who said he'd been tricked out of money and affection by an Alpha pretending to be an Omega. He quietly made an alternate account and started flirting with his three stupid roommates.

In less than three months, he had them all hooked. Money transfers poured in, and they kept pestering him to call them baby every day. Hmph! So annoying.

With the money he made from catfishing them online, Yue Qiao also started dating a sweet, gentle, pretty little Omega in real life. The Omega was perfect in every way, except that he was a whole head taller than Yue Qiao. No wonder an Omega from District One was so well-nourished!

It's fun to flirt, but then comes the reckoning!

Three online relationships, one in real life, and now the bully ex-boyfriend who was supposed to be back in the poor neighborhood had also come to Imperial University. He had even changed identities and turned out to be the heir of one of the Empire's five great families, lost from the family as a child. Wherever Yue Qiao went, he kept running into him.

With all this going on, Yue Qiao naturally had less time for each of them.

They all clung to him and begged to meet in person. They didn't just send money, they sent long messages too, constantly asking if something had happened. Yue Qiao could barely bring himself to read them.

So Yue Qiao decided to break up with them. Just imagining his once-powerful roommates getting angry when they discovered an Alpha had catfished them excited him, and he felt secretly pleased with himself.

But before he could break up with them, he was exposed.

Because he'd been ignoring them, his three roommates got together to discuss how to make their boyfriend happy. And for convenience, Yue Qiao had used the same account to start online relationships with all of them, using photos that had been mass-produced.

Realizing he was in danger, Yue Qiao hurriedly blocked and deleted all three roommates. But before he could catch his breath, he realized that something seemed off about his sweet, rich, beautiful little Omega.

Can an Omega have an Alpha's heat? Obviously not.

Delete, delete, delete them all!

Before Yue Qiao could get angry, the roommate who had always been the gentlest called him by his online dating name, wearing a gentle smile.

Yue Qiao froze. Yue Qiao was shocked. Yue Qiao's little face went pale.

Watching Yue Qiao's round eyes widen in shock, the seemingly gentle roommate smiled softly. Now that he had caught him, his baby was just too cute.

Yue Qiao had already imagined being caught, exposed, and beaten up. But all the other wanted was for him to keep dating him. He completely forgave Yue Qiao for his awful behavior and even made excuses for him:

“Good baby, I know it was all their fault.”

Forced to turn his online relationships into real ones, Yue Qiao hadn't even had time to relax before discovering that every one of them had found out his real identity and was now surrounding him.

“I can pay you back,” Yue Qiao said quietly.

Money? They didn't need money. They only wanted him.
