The two guards at the control post exchanged a glance, then silently took a half-step back, clearly in agreement.

—In the control center, the male insect's will is the highest standard, especially since the one inside is the Empire's only S-class male insect.

The gentleman addressed Major General Finn as "my queen," in a gentle yet resolute tone that they had never heard from male insects.

Even though they believed Major General Finn wouldn't lie, they only assumed that the lord was willing to take him as a concubine out of respect for the Major General's merits and status. After all, many males on the main planet had wanted to pluck this jewel of the empire. Later, this jewel fell into the mud, was humiliated, and was jilted…

They even felt a little sorry that Major General Finn, who would rather break off his engagement than become a female servant, could now only break his pride and crawl for survival like the other female insects.

It wasn't like that after all...

This pearl has been picked up again, its mud wiped away.

The male insects wanted to see the pearl shatter and turn to dust, but one male insect held it in his palm and cherished it dearly.

They saw complexity in each other's eyes. As female insects, they both suffered from an unfair fate. They both tried to struggle, then became numb, and then compromised...

They saw that the moment the male insect spoke, Major General Finn's beautiful, misty gray eyes slowly gleamed, a brilliance even more dazzling than when he was first awarded the rank of Major General.

Finn walked towards the ward with a slow, deliberate pace, carrying an almost imperceptible lightness.

Almost the instant Finn entered, the smile on the male insect's lips widened. The doctor paused for a moment, then bowed slightly: "Your Excellency, please speak with Major General Finn first. I will come back to examine you later."

The female insect's fate is uncertain, but what if General Finn could truly be the exception? The doctor slowly left the ward, closing the door behind him.

He handed the examination results, which had inadvertently become crumpled from being crumpled, to the control room guard waiting outside. "Indeed, a sir of S-rank."

He said, "Please report the data."

This race has a clear hierarchy, and the Empire's first S-rank male insect will change some things.

Within a day, the news would spread throughout high society.

The doctor recalled those dark eyes and thought it would likely bring positive changes.

The male insect seemed completely uninterested in the current situation. Just like back on the desolate planet, he smiled and beckoned to the Major General: "Finn, come here."

Finn didn't speak, but silently stepped forward, knelt down in front of Xu Ran's hospital bed, and whispered, "Your Excellency, you almost scared me to death."

Xu Ran patted the fluffy head. It wasn't his fault; he hadn't expected that although the intensity that night was a bit high, it hadn't reached Xu Ran's limit.

Fearing the major general might misunderstand, Xu Ran offered a very weak explanation: "It was an accident, major general."

He's actually incredibly strong!

The major general remained silent, gently shaking his head, his hair brushing against Xu Ran's palm.

Xu Ran patted the edge of the bed: "Sit down and talk. Aren't you tired of squatting?"

Finn chuckled softly, slowly sat down on the edge of the bed, and then quietly looked at Xu Ran. His gaze was earnest, as if he wanted to etch every detail of this gentleman into his mind and heart: "Your Excellency, do you know that male insects do not like female insects sitting in front of them?"

  

They wouldn't even let them stand or squat; they could only have their backs broken and kneel at their feet.

Xu Ran knew that he had seen the extremely depressing and blood-stained descriptions in the original plot, seen Finn's indifferent and broken eyes, and heard the lament in his heart.

He touched Finn's wound, which had formed an indelible scar on the outside and was still festering inside... The wound only appeared to have healed.

"Finn, you can't kneel," he said slowly.

Finn refused to kneel before Simon; he was fighting against something alone...

Xu Ran grasped his hand, and the image of Finn kneeling on one knee in the sea appeared before her eyes. Finn's seemingly impulsive request for pleasure was actually a desperate gamble; he was betting his soul.

He won't make Finn kneel.

Xu Ran covered her misty eyes, but her palms were wet with cool tears. Her wet eyelashes trembled, and her palms itched slightly.

Finn closed his eyes. Something was pounding violently in his chest, something about to burst forth. His heart, worn down by this broken and distorted world, had been thrown into the sea, plunged into the unfathomable depths of coldness and darkness, only to be pulled out by a pair of warm hands and carefully placed.

"Your Mightiness……"

Xu Ran said, "That's not right."

He coaxed gently, "Major General, what should you call me?"

Finn paused slightly, then gently pulled Xu Ran's hand away, meeting her dark eyes with a half-smile: "You're an S-class male insect, did you know that?"

An S-class male insect of unknown origin, but with the last two words, "unknown origin" is no longer significant. He may very well become the most esteemed lord of the empire.

Xu Ran nodded, showing no surprise whatsoever: "I know."

The male insect didn't seem to care about that; instead, he smiled and continued to ask, "So, Major General, what should you call me?"

Finn's eyes reddened. "Xu Ran..."

He repeated the name, word by word, stubbornly asking, "Will you marry me?"

Xu Ran pulled him into his arms. He knew what an S-class male insect meant in this world, but he would only choose Finn.

Just like... if Xu Ran were an F-level male insect, the Major General would only choose Xu Ran over an A-level male insect.

"Yes, once the identity documents are ready, I will marry you." The male insect said firmly, as if making the most important promise.

"Be my queen, my only queen."

This promise is enough to make any female insect lose her mind.

Finn, unable to resist the temptation, bit his lower lip, trying to regain a shred of clarity: "You know what you're saying, Your Excellency..."

"Yes." Xu Ran patiently straightened Finn's messy hair.

The next day, Xu Ran's identification documents were delivered.

Xu Ran was somewhat surprised by the Empire's efficiency; they didn't even bother to investigate his origins. Weren't they afraid he was a spy?

Then it dawned on him: why investigate? No conspiracy would require an S-class male insect as a price.

The household registration office not only brought Xu Ran's identity certificate, but also a property and a huge amount of assets.

"Your Excellency, as the most prestigious S-class male insect in the empire, you will enjoy all privileges."

The female insect who arrived here had a smile that almost overflowed. "Please settle in first. His Majesty will invite you to a gathering at the palace soon."

Finn stood to the side, listening quietly without saying a word.

The palace gathering... was more like a matchmaking event.

The male insect, surrounded by others, suddenly pulled the stunned Finn aside and said with a smile to the talkative female insect, "I have one more thing to say: my female lord and I haven't gotten our marriage certificate yet."

The ward was so quiet you could hear a pin drop...

The first request made by the male insect was to obtain a marriage certificate with his female lord.
