A cool-faced, snarky heroine who is occasionally adorable x a hot-tempered, arrogant, flamboyant hero
(Feel free to skip the first eight chapters. The author stubbornly insisted on explaining the backstory at the beginning, and now regrets it. I'll do a major revision after it's complete ^^)
A touch of ensemble cast | Mecha competition | Passionate youth | 1v1 happy ending ^^
After transmigrating to the interstellar age, Qi Yuan had the worst luck imaginable: from the start, she was treated to seven years of training by a shady organization.
When the time came, she made her decision in just 0.1 seconds. She was going to run!
With all her skills, Qi Yuan took only one second to decide she would attend military academy.
She wanted to keep a low profile, but people kept provoking her.
They bet she couldn't get into military academy?
Sorry, she came first among the new students and even broke a record ^^
The new-student speech set the military training finals up as a showdown?
Sorry, she beat the upperclassmen too.
Top spot? Claimed.
Exchange competition? Claimed.
Qi Yuan: I just want to earn a little money...
Military academy students: ?

Lately, Qi Yuan had the feeling that a certain perennial runner-up was acting strange.
For example...
He would avert his eyes whenever he saw her, and sometimes she wouldn't see him for days on end.
It went on until the ancient planet's traditional Mid-Autumn Festival.
Qi Yuan looked at the venue, which was clearly decorated for something other than a festival, then at the boy before her, who used to be so supremely confident...
Qi Yuan: Something seems a little off here.
2.
Wen Ren Yi, the rumored prodigy of Ailiuse, the capital planet.
With his outstanding talent, striking looks, unbeatable family background, and a sharp tongue that could drive anyone up the wall, he had always looked down on people.
Until rumors spread that someone had broken his record.
Wen Ren Yi came to the new-student speech, curious to see who this person was. Then he left with a bellyful of anger.
At the military training finals, he swore he'd get the better of her, only to be tricked and swindled by her while she wore an innocent, well-behaved face.
After running into her time and again, Wen Ren Yi figured it out.
All his strange behavior was clearly just because he had lost once.
He just had to win it back. That's what Wen Ren Yi thought.
So the military academy students happily watched Wen Ren Yi go from a young master who looked down his nose at everyone to Qi Yuan's little shadow, following her everywhere.
Military academy students: How does this look anything like an enemy rivalry?
Bonus scene
[Thread starter: If someone who's always been number one suddenly loses to another person, why do they start paying attention to that person without even realizing it?]
1L: Isn't it obvious? For a military academy student, that's a disgrace. Just beat them and you'll be fine.
Thread starter: You've got a point. That's what I thought too.
12L: 1L must be a military academy student. It's obvious this isn't the thread starter's situation.
13L: Exactly. To me, this looks like love at first sight.
358L: Huh? What's going on? What was this thread about before? This makes no sense.
359L: Easy. In short, a prodigy fell in love at first sight with the person who beat him, and doesn't realize he's in love.
360L: I'm dying. It turns out the thread starter is actually Wen Ren Yi. I'm saving a screenshot to share.
361L: Even funnier, he still hasn't won her over. As if my goddess would ever fall for him. Hope he gets mad, hope he gets mad.
Thread starter: Sorry, we're together now. [Image attached] Singles have no right to talk to me. I'm leaving this post up for free reference!
362L: Damn it, why did I come in right after the official announcement?
363L: Don't celebrate too soon. I'll use this post to recreate the whole thing.
485L: So he started this early. Damn, but I believe that if you swing your hoe fast enough, there's no wall you can't break through.
[485L has been muted by the thread starter for inappropriate remarks]
486L: ...
Reader's guide
1. If you're impatient, you can start at Chapter 8.
2. There is a romance plot, about 30% of the story. She's not just a background character.
3. Everything is fictional and unrelated to real life.
4. A very, very slight ensemble cast.
5. After the story starts, I'll update according to the rankings when it's ranked, and every other day otherwise. I'll let you know if anything comes up.
6. A slow burn.

Thank you to heaven, thank you to earth, thank you for your hard work~
"Qi Yuan appointed to wear clothes and bring..." This is a big bug for the author~
