As a son-in-law who married into the Babbus family, Wei Miao (Lyle) performed his role quite dutifully.

To the outside world, he and his Female Lord treated each other with respect, appearing as a rare “model couple” in headlines and online discussions. He had no Female Attendants, firmly supported his Female Lord’s career, was always willing to cheer her on before every expedition, and they even had a beautiful Subfemale Child together.

Only Wei Miao himself knew the truth: over these five years, he had witnessed his bedfellow, High General Orland Babbus, rise from nothing to the very pinnacle of the power pyramid, using ruthless methods and sacrificing almost everything for power and status.

She was cold, feudalistic, conservative, lacking warmth, as calm as the most ancient and silent sea—a standard precision instrument.

And his marriage to her was, from the start, a complete transaction.

It wasn’t until one day when Wei Miao obtained a book that he discovered his bedfellow wasn’t someone like Fahai who didn’t understand love; she was the major villain.

Midway through this Insectoid Race novel, Orland would suddenly become lovestruck, falling for a Male Insectoid from a remote star system. She would gamble away her wealth, family, and everything for him, ultimately burning out her last bit of energy, killing off the Male Insectoid’s harem before despairingly self-destructing along with her starship.

The tide finally surged and overturned.

As the cannon fodder Male Lord of the ultimate villain, who didn’t even get a whole corpse in the book, Wei Miao felt that before the plot kicked off, this five-year marriage had to end immediately.

Whoever wants to love, let them love. What’s the point of making money if you lose your life?

He needed to take emergency shelter.
