I Became a Bug Queen, Starting with Writing Novels

[Insect Mother / Fiction Within Fiction]

Qiao An transmigrates into the future insectoid world as a low-class citizen.

He's dirt-poor and drowning in debt, and he's bound to an unreliable System that requires him to collect "affection points" to stay alive.

When he discovers that this world has an appallingly barren literary culture, and that the legendary, exceedingly rare insect mother has been extinct for centuries, making it the ultimate unattainable fantasy for all insectoids...

Qiao An immediately returns to his old trade: livestreaming and writing novels, feeding insectoid males' hungry fantasies with words!

The smash-hit new novel: "After Meeting My Online Date in Person, I Found Out He's the Empire's One and Only Insect Mother, Your Majesty?!"

Insectoid readers who click in are instantly up in arms:

[What kind of bullshit is this? His Majesty the exalted Insect Mother would date you online? Keep dreaming!]

[The author is insane. Get them to a doctor, now!]

[His Majesty the Insect Mother posts leg pics? Yeah, right. Might as well claim there are ten suns in the sky!]

The insults pour in. They accuse the author of being delusional about insect mothers.

But while the readers' mouths say one thing, their actions say another: they save, tip, and clamor for updates, all in one go.

[I'm dying. It's not like I love reading this or anything. I just want to know what ridiculous thing happens next!]

[Let them meet in person! Unmask him! Make His Majesty dump that lucky bastard already! (Tips furiously)]

[Author, post more! I'll do anything!]

Qiao An becomes an overnight sensation.

As he earns money to pay off his debts and harvests his readers' affection points, he strikes while the iron is hot and launches his "Impossible Insect Mother Fiction" series:

"The Pitiful Little One I Picked Up Suddenly Started Secreting Honey from His Wing Roots"

After disappearing for years, he became the noble Insect Mother on the throne, while I became his prisoner...

"After Becoming the Insect Mother's Bodyguard, I Started Hearing His Thoughts"

"So big... I want to bury myself in there."

"So hot. A collar would suit him..."

"The Dying Commander of the Imperial Guard"

His Majesty the Insect Mother hands him a marriage contract. "I'll save your life. Once you've recovered, we'll get divorced."

"After the White Moonlight Prince Consort Died in Battle"

The prince consort's adopted son holds the pregnant, tearful Insect Mother in his arms. "Mother, you wouldn't want anyone to find out, would you..."

Qiao An, writing under a secret identity, takes the interstellar internet by storm, and his affection points soar.

Suddenly, the half-baked System springs back to life and sends him a congratulatory message:

[Beep! The swarm's affection points are full. Claiming rewards now.]

[Honey-secreting insect wings, universal mom-charm aura, and top-tier Insect Mother bloodline equipped! Mental link... countdown initiated!]

Qiao An: ???

Wait! Are these rewards even appropriate?!

One day, when an Insect Mother's mental power suddenly blankets the Empire, its source pinpointed to a basement in the slums...

The Imperial Guard, sent to investigate, kicks down the door and collectively goes into shock.

The wildly popular author who wrote "Impossible Insect Mother Fiction"...

IS! ACTUALLY! THE! REAL! INSECT! MOTHER!

Insectoid readers: The author I've been following is the real Insect Mother?!

Qiao An, lost in thought: ...Help. Did I accidentally write myself as the protagonist?
