Bright golden sunlight spread over the white bay window and shone into the simply decorated living room, where Zhou Yuan was sitting on the sofa, slowly browsing the information on the light-brain in his hand, frowning more and more tightly as he read, his face uncontrollably showing disbelief and anger.
Zhou Yuan had traveled to this world a few days ago. When he arrived, he was lying on this sofa. After recovering for a while, Zhou Yuan realized he had not inherited the original owner’s memories. He could only judge based on the chaotically placed, almost mountainous piles of wine bottles, and the poker cards and food residues on the coffee table, that the original owner probably died of alcohol poisoning.
To quickly understand the original owner’s life, Zhou Yuan immediately found the original owner’s phone, or rather, in this world, it should be called a light-brain. Unfortunately, the light-brain was locked with a password and had no options for biometric unlocking such as fingerprints. With no memories, Zhou Yuan was stuck at this point.
Fortunately, it seems the original owner came from a decent family background, as someone comes regularly every day to clean this small villa and cook meals for him.
From the person who came to clean and deliver meals, Zhou Yuan cautiously found out that the intelligent creatures of this world originated from zergs, and the entire societal structure is composed of male zergs, female zergs, and sub-females, all outwardly displaying male characteristics.
Male zergs are rare and delicate, the only ones among the zergs that release pheromones, which can soothe female and sub-female zergs, and they belong to the highest class in society.
Female zergs are naturally strong and capable of fighting through partial zerg transformation, mostly bearing the responsibility of protecting the homeland. At home, they also have the duties of earning money to support male zergs and bearing children for them.
Sub-females, besides being relatively small and weak and unable to transform partially like zergs, bear the same domestic responsibilities as female zergs.
Zhou Yuan also learned that his original identity was named Dixia, belonging to a great family. The wealth allocated to him by his male father and female father is enough to sustain him for more than two hundred years of his zerg life (the general lifespan of the zerg race is three hundred years).
Upon learning that he could live a laid-back life without effort in this lifetime, Zhou Yuan directly laid down and happily lived a few days at home, living a carefree life of eating and sleeping.
Until today, he found a note with small numbers in the study, and used this string of numbers to unlock the light-brain.
As soon as the light-brain was activated, countless messages instantly popped up, flashing continuously in front of his eyes.
The top message was from someone named Laika. Zhou Yuan clicked on it and was instantly shocked by the first message.
Laika: Your Excellency, you promised to marry me, do you remember? QAQ
What? The original owner actually had someone he was going to marry?!
Zhou Yuan quickly scrolled up, trying to understand the situation, and then discovered even more shocking news.
The original owner already had a wife, but he still went on to entice other sub-females and female zergs, making marriage promises to more than one zerg!!
And before Zhou Yuan traveled to this world, the original owner had even arranged to meet other female zergs for a tryst!!

Bigamy is illegal! The police could arrest and sentence him!!
Zhou Yuan felt that life was becoming increasingly unbearable.
He selectively skipped these messages and opened a message from a friend, gaining a deeper understanding of the original owner’s scoundrel level.
The original owner was a gambling addict; the wealth left by his parents had long been gambled away, and now he was entirely dependent on his queen to support him.
But this did not make the original owner stop. He continued to gamble and was full of disdain for his queen.
More than once, he complained to his friends that the queen’s salary was too low, he was always out working and not coming home, he looked cold and stern, was unromantic, and not as good as the sub-females on the street.
At this point, Zhou Yuan’s pupils shook.
What a epoch-making scumbag bloodsucker!!
Living off his wife and still complaining about his low salary and lack of domestic attention!
Why don’t you think about it—if you hadn’t gambled away all the money every day, would your wife need to work overtime and never be at home?!
And even considering marital infidelity and bigamy!!!
Zhou Yuan took several deep breaths to finally calm his inner anger and shock, and began to clean up the mess left by the original owner.
Fortunately, Zhou Yuan’s previous job involved handling his boss’s sponsored minor celebrities and messy romantic entanglements, so he was quite adept at dealing with these issues.
First, he apologized to them, explaining that he was already married and would not marry them, and expressed deep regret for his concealment and deceit, willing to offer them any compensation except for the apologies owed to their partners.
Luckily, the female zergs who received his messages were surprisingly easy to talk to.
Laika: Your Excellency, you are too kind. How dare I ask for compensation from you? There’s no need for apologies, just letting me know is enough…
The other female zergs felt the same, and Zhou Yuan faintly sensed that their tone was excessively cautious, unlike his past life’s bosses’ lovers, who readily demanded millions in breakup fees and tens of millions in resources.
But he no longer wanted to dwell on it, just wanting to quickly resolve these matters so he could apologize to his queen whom he had never met.
After some consideration, he gave each one a decent amount of breakup fee, then agreed with them to cut off contact from that point forward.
As for the original owner’s friends, Zhou Yuan also cleaned up the list based on the quality and closeness of the chat records, keeping only a few who had a good relationship with him and who wouldn’t always drag him into gambling and parties.
Afterwards, Zhou Yuan began to search for other messages left by the original owner in the light brain, as well as information about the queen.
The original owner’s queen was named Asta, with a psychic power level of SS, and he was an Imperial Marshal, while his uncle was the legion commander of the Third Legion.
The Asta family was a military family, with several retired senior military officials among the elders.
In front of the Asta family, the original owner’s family seemed quite insignificant.
The original owner’s father was a nouveau riche who made his fortune over the past few decades; aside from some money, he had no advantages.
The reason the original owner was able to marry such a powerful queen was solely because his bloodline was of the rare A-level, which matched him with Asta immediately in the Alliance pairing.
Unfortunately, the original owner was really unworthy, completely wasting this perfectly matched marriage.
—
In a bright office, a white-haired female zerg in military uniform was dealing with official business. his face was expressionless, his purple eyes also seemed indifferent, exuding a sense of cold detachment.
At that moment, the light brain suddenly made several sounds in succession; he casually clicked to open it, and it was the details of Zhou Yuan’s transfer.
Asta glanced over it briefly, roughly estimated in his mind how much was left in the account, then closed it without any expression, and continued dealing with his official duties.
Asta had no fondness for this forcibly matched male lord. No, it should be said, he had no fondness for all male zergs, even bordering on disgust.
He despised the male zergs’ attitude of casually playing with female zergs, as well as the male zergs’ promiscuous and tyrannical nature, lazy as pigs.
This always reminded him of when, after the death of the female father, the male father said with a light laugh while indulging in pleasures:
“Finally died, huh.”
The tone was light and unhurried.
Thus, even though he was married, he met with his male lord only a few times, and those few times were mostly when the male zerg ran out of money, calling him to pay off the debts lost in gambling and to redeem him back home.
After a while, the adjutant Yuo knocked on the door and came in to report on affairs.
However, this time, the usually serious and conscientious adjutant entered with a look of surprise on his face.
Yuo first gave a military salute, then said, “Report to the Marshal, just now a subordinate reported that His Excellency Dixia has broken up with several female zergs he was involved with ambiguously, and also…”
Yuo paused, a look of disbelief on his face, and continued, “He also gave them a sum of money, claiming it was breakup compensation.”
Male zergs giving breakup compensation to female zergs is something that has never happened before in the entire zerg race.
Male zergs have always been high and mighty, treating female zergs as if they were commodities easily obtained; if they liked one, they would take him to bed directly, and if not, they would discard his casually.
If one must talk about breakup compensation, it is mostly female zergs giving to male zergs, not the other way around.
Upon hearing this, Asta, reminded of the recent string of spending notifications, finally shifted his gaze away from his official duties. His face remained expressionless, but a hint of surprise appeared in his dazzling purple eyes.
However, Asta soon recalled the absurd promises made by the male zerg after losing in gambling, and the surprise in his eyes faded once more.
He guessed that the male zerg had lost a bet to someone else, and that was the demand made by the other party.
Such demands indeed severely humiliated the male zerg’s pride.
Then, he turned his attention back to the documents in his hand and instructed indifferently, “Continue observing.”
His voice was cold and clear, exuding an indifferent nonchalance.
“Yes!” Yuo also composed his facial expression, returning to his original serious demeanor, gave a solemn military salute, and exited the office.

Your translation work is lovely. Thank you for translating!
I remember reading another story just like this.. Weak male zerg, strong female zerg, sub female zerg.. Sub females were infertile most probably.. Can’t remember the story’s name .. 😫😩
Hello I’m new to the concept of zergs and when I search I got results from a game. I kindly wish for explanation, like is it like omegaverse?
Yes, except Zerg are aliens from space so they reproduce with eggs and have different biology
