[A seemingly harmless, carefree heroine with exceptional combat and intelligence stats x a pure-hearted, straightforward hero with strong principles who blushes at the drop of a hat]
*Please note before reading:
The leads have very strong agency and won't abandon their principles for love. They are both career-driven, and their relationship develops as they pursue their ambitions.
The hero is innocent and lets the heroine lead him at first, but he grows and surprises her later on.
Enjoy the blurb:
Amy has such an innocent-looking face that everyone assumes she's just a pretty face at first glance.
And she certainly lives up to expectations: the first time she climbed into a mech, she threw up in front of the entire school.
Everyone thought she was incompatible with mechs. In an era of alien invasion, anyone who couldn't pilot a mech was useless.
So she was constantly mocked and ridiculed at military academy.
Sigh... No, wait, how do I explain that it was just an accident? I'm actually really good at fighting with my fists!
Forget it, there's no point explaining. Besides, watching all those clowns dance around in front of me is pretty entertaining.

Only Cheng Cheng knows what Amy is really like.
When they first met, he also thought Amy was a sweet, soft little cupcake.
Until he saw the little cupcake single-handedly take down the rebels, brush a mutant's teeth with a gun, and crack open an alien's skull with her bare hands...
She even pulled off a double-cross, turning the tables on both sides, and broke just about every Alliance regulation. She's practically an outlaw!
He knew better than to mess with her, so he decided to stay far away.
Then he saw people at school calling her useless, and he frantically tried to signal them to stop.
Those idiots didn't get the hint. Instead, Amy rushed into his arms with red-rimmed eyes and a sweet, tearful voice:
"Cheng-ge, they're picking on me~"
His eyes widened. In his heart, he screamed like Bu Jingyun: Don't come any closer!
But he couldn't stop grinning.

Much later, Amy wanted to tease the boy who still blushed at the drop of a hat, just like she used to.
But he pinned her against the wall instead, his tall frame bearing down on her with an overwhelming intensity. Holding the back of her head, he kissed her relentlessly, taking all he could.
When she finally got a chance to catch her breath, she clicked her tongue.
The kid had grown up. He wasn't fun anymore.
He leaned close to her ear and whispered like a devil:
"Then let's play something more fun."
Theme: Being a Bking is business as usual. Saving the world is just an excuse to show off.
