[No Romance, Ensemble Cast Focus] Yun Wubian was ambitious, and she knew herself well.
One day, she transmigrated to a remote star system and became one of the so-called lower-class citizens. She refused to accept her lot.
The genetic lock left people from the remote systems with innate defects, but Yun Wubian was an exception.
She found herself a star pirate captain to be her adoptive mother, figuring she needed either money or power to start with. But out in the remote systems, even the star pirates could barely get by.
Twelve-year-old Yun Wubian finally managed to hijack a smuggling ship from the central star system.
"Hand over all the data in your neural implants."
The smugglers were furious but didn't dare say a word. But they were all useless idiots, ignorant and uneducated, with nothing of value in their files. Yun Wubian flew into a rage and beat them up.
Before she could figure out how to climb the ladder, the central star system suddenly lifted its restrictions on the remote systems, recruiting children from the outskirts into military academies and promising them legal citizenship as long as they fought for the Federation.
At eighteen, Yun Wubian became the first person from the remote systems to enter Central Military Academy. She was the center of attention, and schemes both open and hidden soon entangled her. She feared nothing.
Since she had to take part in the mecha tournament, why not use the opportunity to make a name for herself?
She could pilot and repair mechas, and with her mental strength, she was more than capable of commanding, too. She preferred being in control to charging into battle.
The battlefield changed in an instant. The lives of the powerful and the commoners alike were hers to command.
Fine, then. She'd be the commander.
