【Beneath the rhizomes of the Crystal White Orchid lies the most precious treasure in the world. The decaying mud buries the bodies of intruders into its grave.

If you harbor love, please gently take away the most pristine White Orchid from the flowers. If your eyes turn red with greed, remember not to break its rhizomes.

Anyone attempting to plunder the treasure will be met with death.

Though the Crystal White Orchid is beautiful, no one knows that its rhizomes are poisonous.】

——The Ilviza Clan's motto.

In the Chris Empire, the surname Ilviza is not only a symbol of wealth but also of wisdom. Without exception, the descendants of this clan are physically weak. However, they have always firmly stood at the top of the pyramid in this world where strength is paramount, never falling.

This seems to be a blessing from the insect god, but it's more like a punishment. Because greedy male insects always covet the immense wealth behind them while also lamenting their weak constitution.

General Ilviza is an exception with his A-level rank, which is already rare within the clan. However, after pairing with a mate, the offspring, Jo'an, is only C-level.

What a C-level female insect represents in the Chris Empire is unknown. But it can be anticipated that most male insects would be ashamed of this, so Jo'an suffers daily abuse from her biological father.

Whether other insects can endure it is uncertain, but Ilviza certainly cannot. He secretly used means to dissolve the relationship with his partner and intended to find a new replacement—

Actually, he didn't want to, but that's the rule of the empire.

Ilviza sat on the sofa with his eyes closed, resting. The glasses on his nose gleamed white due to the light, making him look very refined but also somewhat scheming.

He seemed to think of something, glanced at the smartwatch on his wrist, then looked at the little insect larva playing in the living room, and patted the seat next to him, softly calling out, "Jo'an, come here."

Jo'an, holding a toy, ran to Ilviza's front with quick steps. He was so thin that he hardly looked like a female insect. There were still bruises on his body, making him look even more pitiful.

Ilviza lifted him onto his lap, gently stroking Jo'an's head with his palm. His eyes behind the lenses seemed to be pondering something before he whispered, "Jo'an, shall I find you a new father?"

Hearing these words, Jo'an instinctively trembled for a moment, seemingly afraid. He looked up at Ilviza but didn't verbally refuse, instead nodding, "Okay."

"Why?" Ilviza asked.

Jo'an played with the model in his hand and whispered, "Pheromones."

Female insects need the pheromones of male insects to calm the turbulent energy inside.

Although Jo'an is young and quiet, the thoughts in his eyes are not of his age and resemble Ilviza's.

There are no fools in the Ilviza family, a fact recognized throughout the empire. But being too smart is also not good, because behind many glamorous things are scars. Seeing too clearly can make it even harder to face.

Ilviza paused as he stroked Jo'an's hand. At the same time, his smartwatch beeped, showing that a visitor had arrived. A handsome blond and blue-eyed male insect was standing outside, pressing the doorbell.

It was Topaz.

Since their last date ended, they both had a favorable impression of each other. Before parting, Ilviza had invited Topaz to visit his home today. If nothing unexpected happens, they will soon be paired under the arrangement of the empire.
