I Was Forced to Win Over My Nemesis, and My Persona Crumbled

[Dual Male Leads] [Interstellar Mecha] [Two Alpha Males] [Military Academy Rivalry] [Family Feud] [Political Maneuvering] [Proud, Cold Bottom vs. Favored Son of Heaven Top]

[The System Forces Me to Humiliate Myself, But I Still Fight Every Battle]

Evan Lake, heir to the Lake family and an A+ mecha prodigy, has spent his life aiming to crush his nemesis, Ria Thorne, beneath his heel, until he is forcibly bound to [Romance Conquest System 417].

System task: Conquer S-class mecha pilot Ria Thorne.

Failure penalties: electric shocks / public humiliation / a sharp drop in mecha synchronization rate.

Evan: ...I choose death.

And so the entire interstellar world witnessed:

- After losing a match, he "met secretly" with his opponent late at night to discuss mecha maintenance.

- At a royal ball, he danced with his sworn enemy, and they were "perfectly in sync."

- During a desperate escape, he instinctively shielded his nemesis from gunfire, then fought back-to-back with him.

- Alone together on a deserted planet, he got drunk and confessed, "I think... I don't hate you that much."

Ria Thorne feels like something has been off lately.

The nemesis who used to bristle with hostility every time they met has suddenly started to:

- Awkwardly compliment his "nice outfit."

- Secretly practice the combat combos he invented.

- Instinctively protect his back when they come under attack.

- Get drunk and come over to kiss him.

Looking at Ria, unconscious but still gripping his hand tightly, Evan finally grits his teeth and admits:

"Damn it, I've totally blown my character."

When the person you hate most becomes the person you care about most, this forced Conquest game has one rule: whoever falls first loses.
