In the resplendent palace, accompanied by lyrical music, a pair of newlyweds gracefully walked to the center of the stage. The male bug, dressed in a sharp suit, had bright eyes and a charming smile, while the female bug, clad in a marshal’s uniform, stood tall and proud. The bugs present showered them with applause and blessings, except for Kāng nà, who was curled up in a corner, his body transparent, gritting his teeth, and wearing a twisted expression of rage.

Even though nearly three days had passed, Kāng nà still vividly remembered the heart-wrenching pain when the poison entered his body. It felt as if a ladle of scalding hot oil had been poured into his organs, so painful that he couldn’t even speak, only able to futilely clutch his stomach and tightly shut his eyes.

Fortunately, the poison worked quickly; within a minute, he could no longer feel the pain. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself floating in mid-air. Looking down, he saw his female partner, Jiā lè tè, entering with several guards, tossing his corpse into a large box and carrying it away.

Floating in the air, Kāng nà was dumbfounded. He never expected that the bug who had caused his death would be his partner of seven years, Jiā lè tè!

After crossing into the bug tribe, like all other transmigrators, Kāng nà encountered Jiā lè tè, who was being bullied by several high-ranking male bugs. At that time, Jiā lè tè was just a low-ranking officer, and Kāng nà saved him. They got to know each other, fell in love, registered their marriage, and Kāng nà managed everything at home, supporting Jiā lè tè in his military career.

Finally, a month ago, Jiā lè tè was promoted to the rank of marshal due to his outstanding military achievements. However, before Kāng nà could celebrate for even two days, he was killed by his own female partner’s hand.

Despair, regret, and sorrow nearly drowned Kāng nà like the sea, ultimately transforming into a deep-seated anger and disbelief. He couldn’t understand why, after having such a good relationship with Jiā lè tè, she would want to kill him!

In search of an answer, Kāng nà dragged his incomplete soul for three days, and finally, at this wedding, he found the answer. To marry the prince, Jiā lè tè had actually poisoned herself to death!

What a farce of a seven-year partnership, all just his one-sided wishful thinking! Jiā lè tè was simply the bug version of Chen Shimei! Ah no, at least Chen Shimei only abandoned his wife and children, but this beast had directly killed him, so cruel and vicious that even Chen Shimei would have to apologize and call him “big brother”!

Watching the smiling female bug at the center of the stage, Kāng nà gritted his teeth in anger, twisting his body to float over and wanting to punch Jiā lè tè hard, even if his ghostly form couldn’t physically touch the living bug.

Just as his transparent fist was about to hit Jiā lè tè’s head, suddenly, Kāng nà felt his form freeze, and his body color began to fade rapidly. It seemed that ghosts couldn’t linger in the world for too long; he was about to completely vanish.

In just a short moment, his body had become nearly invisible. With the last bit of strength he had, Kāng nà raised his middle finger at the pair of treacherous lovers on stage. If he could do it all over again, he would never make the same mistake!

[Ding dong, detecting the keyword “do it all over again,” time reversal program has been activated, condition checking, please wait…]

He didn’t know how long it had been, but the electronic voice sounded again. [Conditions for time reversal met, time is reversing, thump thump thump, thump thump thump, thump, thump, thump…]

Accompanied by a sound reminiscent of a school bell, Kāng nà felt as if someone had struck him hard on the head. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself beneath a familiar crystal chandelier that was three stories high, sitting on a brown-red leather sofa, with a beautiful fruit platter beside him.

Kāng nà felt his heart stop for a moment, then it began to race wildly. He trembled as he raised his hand, nervously touching his face. It was no longer the void he had passed through, but warm, tangible skin.

He had truly been reborn!

Kāng nà was almost moved to tears with joy. In the next moment, he hurriedly opened his smart brain to check the date. It was July 16, 3028 in the Bug Calendar. Kāng nà clearly remembered that Jiā lè tè’s marshal conferment ceremony was on September 16, 3028, and he had been poisoned on October 16, 3028.

This meant he still had three months left. He couldn’t just sit and wait; in this life, he had to escape Jiā lè tè’s clutches!

With determination, Kāng nà stood up from the sofa. After just a couple of steps, two female bugs in aprons rushed over from the corner of the living room, smiling at him, “Sir, may I ask what you need?”

Kāng nà was taken aback; the fiery spirit he had just ignited felt like it had been doused with cold water, extinguishing it completely. How could he have forgotten? Ever since Jiā lè tè became a general, he had bought this villa for himself and arranged for over a dozen maid bugs, under the pretense of taking care of him. Looking back now, it was nothing but surveillance.

In addition to the maid bugs responsible for household chores inside the villa, there was even a team of military female bugs patrolling outside day and night. No matter where he went, there would be military female bugs following him.

Moreover, although the property was in his name and all the cash was in his account, Jiā lè tè had a secondary card for all his savings accounts. Every single expense of his was recorded by Jiā lè tè.

Without money, without a job, and even without freedom, escaping Jiā lè tè’s grasp would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens.

Looking at the five-story villa with beautiful floor-to-ceiling windows, Kāng nà felt suffocated for the first time. This was not his home; it was a golden cage, a hell that would devour his life.

No, he had to run away! No matter what method he had to use, he must escape!

“Sir?”

“Ah?” The maid bug’s words interrupted Kāng nà’s thoughts. He snapped back to reality, forcing a smile, “I wanted to ask, what’s for dinner tonight?”

In his previous life, he had a good temper, whether with the maids, Jiā lè tè’s subordinates, or Jiā lè tè himself. So even if he was furious now, he had to maintain a calm demeanor and not show any abnormalities.

The maid bug smiled and replied, “The general has already instructed the menu before leaving. Tonight’s dishes are braised pork, four happiness meatballs, stir-fried seasonal vegetables, and chicken ginseng soup.”

Again with these dishes, it was so annoying to hear. Kāng nà kicked the leg of the sofa hard, “I don’t want chicken ginseng soup; change it to coconut chicken.”

The maid bug frowned in difficulty, “I’m sorry, sir, but coconut chicken is not on the menu provided by the general.”

Kāng nà held his forehead in frustration. He almost forgot that in this house, he couldn’t even decide what to eat each day and could only choose from the dozens of dishes given by Jiā lè tè.

The economic foundation determines the superstructure; being broke and jobless meant he wouldn’t even know how to die.

How did he manage to be so foolish in his past life, wholeheartedly spending seven years with a treacherous and despicable bug like Jiā lè tè!

Suppressing the anger within him, Kāng nà forced a smile and waved his hand to dismiss the maid bug.

The first step to escaping was to make money, but how could he earn money while keeping it hidden from Jiā lè tè?

Kāng nà furrowed his brows tightly, anxiously picking up a piece of fruit. Just as he was about to put it in his mouth, he suddenly spat it out.

Every day it was either apples or pears, not even a third type of fruit; it was so boring!

Just as Kāng nà was about to ask the maid bug to change the fruit, suddenly, footsteps sounded at the door, followed by a chorus of military female bugs greeting, “Salute to the general!”

The fork in his hand clattered to the ground with a crisp sound. Kāng nà abruptly stood up from the sofa, his eyes fixed on the door.

With a whoosh, the automatic door opened, and a tall female bug in a white general’s uniform, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, walked in.

Kāng nà felt his blood run cold. His hands trembled as his gaze slowly slid from the female bug’s golden hair to her pronounced sword-like brows, then to her narrow golden eyes and high nose bridge, finally resting on her sharp jawline.

This familiar face hit every aesthetic point for him perfectly, but now Kāng nà only felt disgust.

Jiā lè tè took off her military cap, walked a few steps to Kāng nà, and respectfully knelt on one knee, bowing her head, “Jiā lè tè greets the male lord, good day to you, male lord.”
