Chapter 3: Sincere thanks to the lord... for praising my cuteness.
Hillan had already taken his change of clothes with him when the system left, so all that was left were his clothes, and Sersia would have to make do with them.
He knocked politely on the door. "Cersia, I brought you some clothes. Come and get them."
Sersia paused, his movements almost causing him to groan. He leaned over the edge of the bathtub, his flushed face hidden in his arms, and slowly exhaled a breath of warm, moist air before getting up and walking towards the door.
His legs were still damp, water trickling down his leg muscles, leaving a small puddle on the ground with each step.
Sersia opened the door directly, but Hillan didn't look in his direction. He had his back to her and only reached out his hand. Naturally, he said, "I only have my clothes here. I'll go with you to buy some new ones tomorrow. After you change, I need to talk to you."
Sersia's light blue eyes dimmed slightly, and she gave a slow, cold "hmm."
He put the garment away, and soon the sound of the bathroom door closing came from behind him.
Hillan didn't know how long it would take to receive the storylines, but he took advantage of the waiting time to receive them.
This is a typical Zerg story, where females are subordinate to males, but in this world, male Zerg do not participate in any important positions and cannot learn anything. The females will spoil the males, turning them into reproductive tools who only think about pleasure.
Hillland raised an eyebrow when he saw this worldview, thinking it was normal.
If these disgusting creatures like male insects still want to hold power, then this world might as well just be destroyed.
But what if he can't study? He applied to Tsinghua University for biomedical sciences, but hasn't started studying yet. What's it like to study in this world?
I really want to know.
Hillland blinked and continued reading. The main characters of this world were the Third Prince, Ferris, and Lou Wen, the Earth CEO who transmigrated into a certain male insect.
In short, the Third Prince lost the power struggle and was tricked into marrying Lou Wen, a tyrannical and cruel F-rank official, as a slave. The villain, Sersia, was not at the center of the vortex because she did not take sides. As a result, the First Prince failed to win her over and instead framed her, turning Sersia's generals against her and delaying important battle reports.
The strategic blunder in the Battle of Sersiafar resulted in heavy losses for the Alliance. Seriously wounded and with her gestation sac damaged, Sersiafar was unable to reproduce. She was originally to be executed by the Insect King, but Sersiafar's female father surrendered a huge fortune, which saved her from execution.
At the same time, Sersia's mental breakdown caused his female father a great deal of trouble. None of the male insects he was to be matched with were willing to marry Sersia because of this damned racial instinct. If Sersia did not marry a male insect, she would die from mental exhaustion.
In the end, only Bering, the father of Hillan, coveted the enormous wealth and readily agreed to the request. His insect offspring had never been married, making him a highly sought-after catch, especially since he was an A-grade male insect. If he weren't still a minor, many female insects would be vying to marry him.
Thus, the third prince, Philis, and the villain, Sersia, became the control group.
The protagonist gradually gains everything and finds happiness, while the villain loses his military rank, is subjected to insults, and is treated like a plaything, locked in a basement and abused.
Sersia eventually killed the Hillan family and, dragging her broken body, slowly reclaimed her rights. Due to the repeated turmoil in her mental sea and the constant physical torment, Sersia harbored unprecedented jealousy. Why did the protagonist get everything so easily? Why was the protagonist loved while she could only become a monstrous, unrecognizable creature?
He constantly opposes the protagonist, and the unwavering, calm, and self-controlled rationality of his early years has disappeared. He becomes increasingly twisted, forgetting who he originally was. In the end, he loses in the struggle for power and suicide becomes his final fate.
In the end, the protagonist (the bottom) sits firmly on the throne, while the male protagonist (the top) is keen on building his business empire and becomes the first male insect nobleman with power and influence.
So this is how Sersia's life unfolded.
Hillland felt extremely sorry. The damage to the gestation sac must have been a penetrating injury. It was amazing that it survived. He was unwilling to be a plaything for male insects for the rest of his life.
Sersia has probably been dismissed from her post, and all her assets have been given to Hillan. Isn't this just asking to be manipulated?
Hillland pondered, "Is there no equality?"
99 popped up and sighed softly, "The protagonist's CP has been tried, but it failed. The nature of the species cannot be reversed at all. The ratio of female to male insects is too abnormal. Unless the female insects can be free from the control of the male insects, there is no way. Moreover, after the equality, those male insects will probably only be squeezed dry and used. If the villains do not return to their original ranks, after the equality, you will be in a very, very bad situation, host."
Hillland felt a chill run down his spine. He said seriously, "Let's just take it one step at a time."
If you want to help others, you should at least protect yourself first. Hillland wasn't even sure if he could learn it. If he couldn't learn it, he'd really be a little worm for his wife.
Remembering something, Hillan asked the system, "In this world, can I still turn Sersia into my queen? And how do I return the property to him?"
99 looked at it and was very happy. "Yes, it's possible. Even if it's not possible, I can still make it possible! When a female insect marries, all of her property belongs to the male insect. The male insect can do whatever he wants with it, but it can't be directly transferred back to the original account. You need to open an intimacy card for Sersia, and then he can use it freely."
Hillland said thank you, and after calculating the time, he realized that Sersia would be coming out soon. He immediately jumped out of bed, straightened the wrinkled sheets, and sat on the edge of the bed to wait for Sersia.
When the female insect emerged, Hillan was sitting on the edge of the bed waiting. His turbulent mental state had calmed down, and he could see her appearance more clearly than before.
Hillland has a mature and peaceful demeanor, which makes it easy for insects to gain her favor. Her appearance is beautiful and elegant, which is inconsistent with her temperament. She is like a porcelain doll with smooth lines and an indescribable sense of distance. She gives people the feeling of an old scholar with a lot of knowledge. She is easy-going but aloof. When you talk to her, you will subconsciously show her great respect.
It's beautiful, so beautiful that it's quite unique.
Hillland was also looking at him. The other man was very tall, with no bulging muscles, but his whole body was a top-notch model with a very beautiful appearance. He had a strong aura, noble and aloof eyebrows and eyes, and light-colored eyes as indifferent as glaciers. His hair was as smooth as a silver waterfall after being dried. He was very, very beautiful.
Hillland smiled and said slowly, "Cersia, come here, I want to talk to you."
Sersia's fingertips slowly curled as she sat down next to Hillan.
"I'm listening."
Hillland hummed in agreement and calmly uttered words that shocked the insect, “You were a little confused at first, so let me repeat myself. I will hold a wedding ceremony, but it might be a bit later because I need to prepare. It will take some time, but it won’t be delayed. So, let’s take care of your identity change first. I don’t need you to be my female servant; I want you to be my female lord. It’s not just because I like you, but also because I respect you very much and don’t want to mistreat you. Being a female servant wasn’t my original intention; I only found out after you arrived.”
He'll save up for the wedding himself. While he's saving, he wants to help Sersia get back to where she was before. Otherwise, if he just spoils her, Sersia won't feel genuine happiness because she lacks confidence.
Sigh, thinking about it this way is still quite nice. Hillland is going to experience loving someone like growing flowers.
I'm very happy.
Hillland's ears turned red. "Including my support for your return to the military, please feel free to contact me if you need my help. As for the mental sea turmoil, from what I've looked at, once every three days is the best frequency. I don't want you to become addicted during the process, as I think that would have a certain impact on your normal life."
After Hillland finished speaking, he became serious. “All your assets are with me. I will return the money to you by opening an intimacy card. But there is one more thing. Since we are partners, I have to tell you about my predicament. My family situation is not good. My only male father is eyeing your assets. I suggest we move out. Also, I need you to support me for a while. To be honest, I am looking forward to this part.”
He's been idling around all day, and now he's penniless. It's not shameful to expect his wife to support him; Hillland even really wants to experience that feeling. It must be different from receiving a salary from a boss or a scholarship, right?
Hmm, I'm starting to look forward to it.
Hillan turned his head with a smile and saw Sersia's bewildered and shocked expression, like that of a beautiful cat.
Hillland fell deeply in love with her again.
“Cersia, you’re so cute,” Hillan’s eyes widened. “You can call me anytime if you need anything. Just remember that I’m your partner and your supporter. I’ll tell you if I need anything. I’m making sacrifices, and I hope you’ll do the same for me. Of course, I respect your wishes, but if possible, I still hope we can have a foundation of love.”
He really loves this marriage; to have a partner he fell in love with at first sight at 18 is wonderful.
Sersia was speechless, and his body was reacting strongly. The female insect's innate possessiveness and aggression made him want to destroy something, but right now this feeling could not be called destruction, but rather an indescribable expectation and a desire to be torn apart.
How can a male insect be like this?
Sersia really liked the feeling that Hillland gave her; standing there, he was a perfect, flawless, calm, and reassuring figure... How could a male insect be like that?
The other party is too kind.
Sersia thought absently that he did not feel unworthy. Behind the doubt was a surge of expectation and affection. He lowered his eyes, endured it, and answered all of Hillan's questions.
“First of all, I don’t mind the marriage, Master…” Sersia’s cold eyes were like melting spring water. He spoke the title with red ear tips, and then said in a hoarse voice, “I have never seen a male insect like you before. I can’t believe it and I want to cry. I can understand the love and respect you are expressing. My first reaction was a little apprehensive, but more than that, I was greedy. Can you understand? I can tell that you hope your partner will be more natural and bold, so I’m being frank.”
Under Hillan's expectant and delighted gaze, Sersia took a deep breath, feeling as if her mind and body had calmed down. "I like you very much too. I used to hate male insects, but you are different. So I originally planned to resist, but when I met you, I did not struggle. I look forward to having a marriage with a male insect like you."
Hillan is really growing to like Sersia more and more.
There's nothing wrong with accepting it naturally. Love is meant to be enjoyed; being loved in a state of constant anxiety will only make both parties feel miserable.
Sersia pulled her legs together. "Regarding the matter of property, this is actually just my pocket money. My real property is in an account belonging to an unrelated person. You don't need to return it because I like you very much. I will consolidate my property in the next few days to solidify the trust and respect between us. This is the sincerity I should show in return. I will also reciprocate the emotional value you provide with equal love. If I do not do well, you can bring it up. I will fulfill my responsibilities as a partner."
Hillland was absolutely thrilled.
They know how to respond, share similar values, are respectful and serious—wow!!!
Wife, wife!!!
like!
Sersia's body was burning hot, and he was in an unimaginable predicament.
"Thank you, Your Majesty..."
His legs went weak as if a flood had been released, his fingertips trembled, and he felt ashamed.
"...Thank you for calling me cute."
