[He had been born into the noblest and most peerless family in the Empire and had also received the highest glory. The rose on his chest was as crimson as blood and never faded like the eternal sun.
Marshal Ayashley was once the envy of Females throughout the Galaxy. He was noble, he had an outstanding appearance and his Male Master was also an A-level Male Zerg of the highest rank.
But when his Male Master made him take the blame for his crimes, ripped off his wings, and banished him to the Barren Stars, he became the object of pity for all the Females in the Galaxy.
There was a saying in the Empire: Rare treasures must be protected, and sins must be forgiven.
This meant that no matter what crimes the scarce and ruthless Male Zergs committed, they would not be punished. In most cases, their Females will bear the consequences.
Perhaps the only stain on Shelayn’s life was marrying a terrible Male Master and being forced to follow the orders of the so-called ‘Male Master’, committing irreversible acts. However, when things came to light, he was the one who was punished.
My dear Male Master, I cannot bear the sins of both of us…
Shelayn did not struggle as he was put in electronic shackles, instead, he smiled satisfied. Before everyone’s eyes, he embraced the Male Master who used to flog him day and night, and without warning, stabbed him mercilessly with a dagger. Like a lover whispering in his ear, he said, “I made a mistake and I will receive my punishment…”
“Noble and rare Male, a Zerg who will not be condemned no matter the crime…this is my punishment to you…”
He had achieved remarkable military feats in his lifetime, often mentioned alongside Marshal Yuan as the Twin Stars of the Empire. However, their fates were as different as night and day, simply because they married different Males.
“Females should not have their wings ripped off; they were born to fly.”
“Females must not bear shame; the honor they carry on their shoulders must not be defiled.”
“They may face death with dignity, but never crawl on the ground.”
Shelayn laughed softly and slowly pulled the dagger out, turning it on himself. Amidst the gasps of shock, blood gushed out, painting his eyes scarlet.
The rose remained bright, but the glory fell forever.]
– Excerpt from the online novel ‘I Take a Wife in the Zerg World’.
Well…
Just by reading the title, one could tell that the author didn’t have much imagination.
Tang Yan was also willing to admit that he had no imagination at all. But that didn’t mean that one day he could accept that he had transmigrated into a novel he had once written, especially in this way…
He lowered his head and shook the electronic shackles in his hands. They were a pair of elegant silver bracelets.
“Lord Tang Yan, your three-day moral education has been completed. According to the interstellar records, you have nineteen charges of street harassment of Noble Females, exceeding one more charge, you will face a sentence of three months of social services. Please restrain yourself and learn your lesson. It has been an honor to be able to escort you home.”
The interstellar education officials who were ‘releasing’ Tang Yan unlocked the electronic shackles from his hands. From their tightly furrowed brows, it was evident that they were displeased by this infamous low-level Male. However, due to the Empire’s protection of rare Males, they had to maintain the polite behavior required by the rules.
“Lord Tang Yan, if you don’t need more help, we’ll leave first.”

A moment ago, the person in military uniform climbed into a structure resembling a flying vehicle, saying many unclear words, and then left him there.
This was not how filming works.
Tang Yan, with a deadpan face, moved his hands, somewhat deprived of blood flow due to the shackles, and there was a soft crunch in his bones, sounding unpleasant.
He frowned, he was about to do something when suddenly there was a ‘ding’ in his ears, followed by the appearance of a sparkling diamond in front of him, which almost blinded his titanium-plated dog eyes.
[Ding! Congratulations, you have successfully linked the Villain Rescue System, initiating… ]
[Successful startup]
This diamond unexpectedly began to speak human words, with a mechanical tone very different from human texture, emitting a high-pitched and somewhat rough sound.
[Author’s name: Tang Yan
Cause of death: Fall from a building.
Author’s works: ‘I Took a Wife in the Zerg World’, ‘I Was an Emperor in Ancient Times’, ‘The School Flower Became My Bodyguard’, and ‘Sixteen Strategies for Love’.
The objective of this mission: Save Shelayn, the tragic villain of ‘I Take a Wife in the Zerg World’.
Reward for the success of the mission: Get a chance to be reborn once]
Tang Yan, “…”
As a famous third-rate writer, Tang Yan wrote whatever was popular, covering several genres across different eras and cultures, with themes ranging from male-female relationships to male-zerg relationships. Indeed, a conspicuous figure in the literary world, a peculiar existence in terms of morality.
‘I Take a Wife in the Zerg World’ was a novel he recently completed. The content was mediocre and the plot lacked innovation and followed the usual patterns of Zerg-themed stories. Like most Zerg novels, it told the story of a caring, gentle, and considerate Earthling who traveled through time and space to become a rare interstellar Male Zerg in search of true love in another world.
The Earthling protagonist was named Qin Yang, who for several reasons ended up becoming the partner of the celebrated Marshal Yuan, known as one of the Twin Stars of the Empire. This was the main couple, and they had a happy ending.
In contrast, the fate of the other Twin Stars of the Empire, Marshal Shelayn, was not so fortunate.
Originally, Tang Yan included Shelayn as a mere complement to the main character. The more miserable Shelayn’s life was, the more happy the protagonist’s life would seem.
Yuan was born as a commoner and Shelayn as a nobleman.
Yuan was a Marshal, just like Shelayn.
Yuan was married to the protagonist Qin Yang, while Shelayn was married to an A-level Male from a prestigious noble family.
At first glance, Shelayn was the winner. However, in this world where Females outnumbered Males, most native Males were not good individuals.
They were useless, lazy, foolish, and cruel. They could marry several Females and whip them at will. All was allowed by the laws of the Empire.
Shelayn’s marital life was typical of most Females: neither good nor bad. The difference was that as a noble, he had more determination in his heart, leading to a tragic end.
And…
Although Shelayn was arrogant and did not accept that Yuan had a better life than him, often opposing him, it must be acknowledged that he was truly a tragic villain.
It was difficult for others to feel sorry for a vicious person, but if he was forced into a path of no return by his environment, undergoing a drastic transformation, he would become pitiful.
Tang Yan took about an hour to fully digest the information, “Are you saying that I’ve died in the real world and need to save Shelayn to return?”
System nodded.
Tang Yan, “Then I won’t go back, I’m staying.”
He had debts in the real world, and his only family, his mother, died of illness last year. No relatives, no ties, why go back? Though he didn’t know who he had become after transmigrating, at least he was a Male Zerg. Life among the Zergs couldn’t be bad, could it?
[Pei! Pei!]
System paced around him angrily: [You can only earn a chance of rebirth by completing the mission! Decide whether to stay or leave later. Otherwise, if the time limit expires and you haven’t completed the mission, System will eliminate you!]
Ah, Tang Yan knew it. There is no free food in the world. He looked at the clothes he was wearing, frowned, and asked, “So who am I now?”
Perhaps due to long-term struggles and hardships, Tang Yan exuded an aggressive aura, far from seeming like a good person. He almost had ‘I am not a good person’ engraved on his forehead.
System was intimidated by his gaze and checked quickly: [Male Zerg of C-level, Tang Yan. Arrested three days ago and sent to the Interstellar Prison for moral education for molesting a Female Noble. He was released on bail today]
Tang Yan earnestly thought, “I don’t think I have written such a character.”
System: [This is normal because the plot has changed, resulting in many uncontrollable factors and the appearance of many non-existent characters. The targets for the Host to transmigrate to are random.]
After saying this, he glanced at the screen: [The progress of the story has not started yet. Shelayn’s blackening level is currently low, 47%. Do not rule out the possibility of an increase during the mission. Please strive to reduce it to zero as soon as possible.]
Tang Yan leaned lazily against the wall, “47%? Is that considered low?”
[Relatively low]
System approached him and whispered: [Let me tell you a secret, the initial blackening of the previous host’s target was 99%]
Previous Host? Who was it?
Tang Yan was about to ask when the door suddenly opened, revealing a middle-aged Male Zerg whose appearance resembled that of a human in his thirties. Only then did Tang Yan realize he had accidentally pressed the doorbell while leaning against the wall. He unconsciously straightened up and System disappeared into thin air.
“Tang Yan? When did you come back?”
The middle-aged Male Zerg was called Topaz and was Tang Yan’s Male Father. His attitude towards Tang Yan was neither affectionate nor warm, and he looked slightly displeased as he looked at him. After letting him in, he began to complain incessantly.
”I told you not to harass the Noble Females. They’ll only choose A-level Male Zerg, especially considering your bad reputation. You’re almost an adult now, if you get caught up by Interstellar Education again, I won’t help you.”
Topaz sat back on the couch and, after finishing his lecture, let out a long sigh, “How I miss your Female Father.”
A Male Zerg could marry a Female Monarch and several Female Attendants. Topaz was a B-level Male. According to the Empire’s regulations, he could have at least one Monarch and several Attendants.
Unfortunately, his Monarch and his Attendants were Military Females belonging to the Fourth Legion. A few months ago, they were commanded to go to the interstellar battlefield and all sacrificed themselves gloriously.
Tang Yan thought, what does this mean, I started as an orphan?
He found a place to sit by the window, and through Topaz’s lecture, he roughly finally understood his current situation.
In the Zerg World, Males were divided into four levels: A, B, C, and D. The higher the level, the more prestigious and rare they were, resulting in more powerful offspring. A-level Males could be called the favorite sons of heaven, most of them being born into aristocracy and receiving immense admiration.
Topaz was a B-level Male and his Monarch was a B-level Military Female. The combination of the two gave birth to Tang Yan.
It stood to reason that even if B + B is not as good as A, it would still produce B.
But unfortunately, Tang Yan was the lousy product of B + B = C. His physique was poor, fertility was low, and the calming effect of pheromones was even worse.
Not only was he a lousy C-level, but his quality as a Zerg was also terrible. He constantly harassed Noble Females, gaining notoriety and becoming a frequent visitor to Interstellar Education. Were it not for his Male status, he would have long since been expelled from the Imperial Capital for being a bad resident.
Male Zergs had two awakenings, birth and adulthood. Tang Yan still had a few months to go before he reached adulthood. If he was lucky, he could advance a level, but judging by his skills, it would be hard. Hope was greater than zero but insignificant.
When Tang Yan felt annoyed, he wanted to smoke as usual. However, when he instinctively reached into his pocket, it was empty, so he had to refrain.
Topaz was a handsome, recently widowed Male who was still crying over the death of his Female. After crying for a while, he suddenly stopped crying and said to Tang Yan, “I have spent all the coins, what shall we have for dinner?”
As already said, Males were useless. They didn’t have to do anything from the moment they were born, the Empire arranged marriages for them with a Female and the rest was to enjoy the benefits.
Unchecked by the Female Monarch and the Female Attendants, Topaz spent money carelessly, completely oblivious. Recently, he was tricked by a salesman and spent five hundred thousand star coins to buy a high-end flying car. Now, the family was in financial distress.
Being a Male who only knew how to enjoy life and did nothing productive, Topaz instinctively put his hopes on Tang Yan.
Facing Topaz’s gaze, Tang Yan remained silent, “…”
The most unfortunate experience he had when starting a game was to start as a stray dog. Now, the situation had worsened; he only had a spendthrift father.
